M’sia firmly committed to FPDA despite Aukus emergence, says Hisham


KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia is firmly committed to the Five Power Defence Arrangements (FPDA) despite the emergence of the new Australia-United Kingdom-United States (Aukus) security pact, says Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein.

"Our position will not change despite our position in FPDA which has shown that we will continue with the advantages that we have when facing the geopolitical super powers in the region, especially in the South China Sea,” said the Defence Minister.
