Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen. Our joint press conference will begin very shortly. Before we start on behalf of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, we would like to express our greatest gratitude to the media team for coming today. Assalamualaikum dan salam sejahtera. Her Excellency Senator Penny Wong, Minister for Foreign Affairs Australia. I think I don't need this. It is really a special day for me and it is my pleasure to welcome today my Australian counterpart, Senator Penny Wong and all of the members of the Australian delegation here at Wismaputra. We have spoken before on the phone and it is great to finally meet you in person, Penny. Ya, especially in times like this, we really need to be more engaged with one another. During our meeting just now, I congratulated her on her appointment as the Foreign Minister of Australia. I also congratulate the stunning success of the Labour Party in the recent Australian elections. To this meeting was very fruitful, even though we don't have much time to discuss, but Senator Wong and I exchange views on various issues that ranges from bilateral to regional issues of mutual interest. As comprehensive strategic partners, we express our delight and satisfaction towards the positive growth witnessed throughout our multifaceted cooperation, especially in the post-COVID-19 pandemic era. We discuss in brief the progress of the activities under the CSP covering its three main pillars, namely economic prosperity, society and technology, as well as defence cooperation and regional security. In the economic pillar, I highlighted Malaysia's current position to put a lot of focus on digital economy. While on society and technology, we emphasise the importance of people-to-people relations. For example, the biggest number of Malaysian students as a group in any particular country is in Australia. There are now about 12,000 Malaysian students studying there. On defence cooperation and regional security, besides the continuing of our defence cooperation, I also highlighted the importance of cyber security. Malaysia and Australia both have multi-cultural and multi-religious society. Ini juga sebuah kawasan yang dapat kita bergabung lebih jauh dalam keadaan kita-mereka. Dalam keadaan regional, saya berterima kasih kepada Australia untuk mendukung ASEAN. Australia ialah ASEAN perempuan pertama dalam tahun 1974 dan telah bergabung dengan ASEAN. Dalam keadaan ASEAN-Australia, keadaan strategi yang menghargai perjalanan baru-baru, ialah keadaan landmark. Malaysia betul-betul mempunyai keadaan yang bergabung dalam keadaan perjalanan yang akan menyebabkan keadaan keadaan keadaan keadaan keadaan keadaan keadaan keadaan. Akhirnya, berdua berhubung di wilayah singkat masalah kurang keadaan regional, terutamanya di Myanmar. Saya tak berhubung mengandung ASEAN di Myanmar dan kita berkata itu kita sangat senangtah, adalah ya. Apabila ianya terdapat menjadikan, terutamanya di sisi kecil manusiaan. Saya rasa itu adalah perkara yang kita bincangkan. Sesetengahnya di dalam detil. Sesetengahnya mungkin bukan di dalam detil. Tapi kita harapkan diri kita untuk bekerja lebih jauh lebih jauh.

Dan... ...kita berbincang beberapa cara yang boleh berlaku... ...dengan ASEAN. In addition to... ...the... ...strategic preset... ...a which is ASEAN centrality... ...I would again... ...emphasise... ...that we are privileged and honoured to be... ...a comprehensive strategic partner... ...of ASEAN... ...when I was in Jakarta recently... ...we met... ...we met with the Secretary-General... ...and I took the opportunity to meet... ...with the permanent representatives as well... ...to talk through with them... ...the various ways in which we can... ...give... ...life to... ...practical life to the CSP with ASEAN... ...and there's some very good projects... ...which we are working on together... ...and I look forward to that being... ...implemented... ...over the weeks and months and years ahead... ...and there's even stronger relationship... ...between our country and ASEAN... ...which, as the Minister points out... ...we were the first dialogue partner... ...and we understand... ...and believe in its importance. The second question... ...there was a gentleman... ...ah, okay. A question for Minister Wong... ...Kris Barrett with us in the morning, Harold. Good, thank you. Malaysia has expressed concerns... ...about the orchestra in Australia's plans... Prime Minister Ishmal said last month... ...that if China, for example, wanted to help North Korea... ...purchase nuclear-powered submarines... ...Malaysia wouldn't be in a position to object... ...because, excuse me, AUKUS has set a precedent. Your government inherited the submarines deal... ...but is committed to it. So how will you go about assuaging those concerns... ...that it could instigate an arms race? And how do you convince countries up in Malaysia... ...that it's necessary and is not going to further... ...antagonise China? Well, I'd make a few points about that. First, we have... ...and in opposition, we committed to support this capability. Second, this is... ...and this is very important. We are not a nuclear power. There are nuclear powers in this region... ...but Australia is not one of them. What we are doing is replacing... ...an existing capability... ...which, with a new capability... ...and that is nuclear propelled... ...nuclear-powered submarines. So, you know, the propulsion system... ...is powered by nuclear power. We remain very clear... ...that we do not seek... ...and nor would we ever seek to arm... ...have any nuclear capability... ...on our submarines. So, that's the first point. Because I think sometimes it's... ...people see the word nuclear... ...and I understand. There's a response to that. We are talking about nuclear propulsion... ...not nuclear weapons. Look, we know... ...our region is being reshaped... ...anomically and strategically. Australia, Malaysia... ...the countries of ASEAN... ...seeking to navigate this period of change. Australia will always operate... ...on the basis that we have this objective. A region that is peaceful... ...a region that is stable... ...a region that is prosperous... ...a region in which sovereignty is respected... ...and importantly, a region where... ...rules enable some predictability... ...to state behaviour... ...and to the way in which disputes... ...would be dealt with. So, from Australia's perspective... ...that is what we are focused on... ...and the work we do... ...and the approach we take... ...to those sorts of strategic issues... ...will always be guided by that objective. I make also this point. In my previous answer... ...reaffirmed again... ...of the principle of ASEAN centrality... ...and that remains. That remains. Next question, please. Hi, Mr Wong. I'm from... ...I'm from Tucson, Malaysia... ...on AUKUS. The announcement last year... ...about on AUKUS... ...have raised major security concern... ...among countries in the Southeast Asia. Why do your government stand on this issue now? Well, I think I went to most of that... ...in my previous answer, if I may... ...but I would say this. I appreciated... ...the opportunity... ...to explain... ...how we see AUKUS... ...to the foreign minister... ...and to other counterparts in the visits... ...I have made prior to this visit... ...which are obviously to Vietnam... ...and to Jakarta. So we appreciated... ...the opportunity... ...to go through some of the things... ...I've just outlined... ...it is important... ...that we... ...listen to concerns... ...that we respond to them respectfully... ...that's how the new government... ...will seek to deal with some of the issues... ...which have been raised... ...and we hope that... ...over time... ...people's concerns... ...will be able to be allied. Okay. Next question. Oh, hello. Hai. Emma Connors... ...in the Financial Review. My question too... ...I'm afraid it's about AUKUS... ...and the Quad really... ...but Datasri... ...I'm just wondering... ...we heard a lot about Malaysia's concerns... ...when the agreement was first announced... ...but that is now some time ago... ...and we've also heard some concern... ...about Quad in ASEAN... ...there's been some suggestions... ...that the US could be looking to create... ...a Asian type of NATO... ...and that has concerned some Asian states... ...but I'm just wondering if your concerns... ...have changed... ...since the Russian invasion of the Ukraine... ...which has shown us all what happens... ...when the rules-based order is not observed. Thank you. Well, Malaysia highly values... ...the regional peace... ...and security of the ASEAN region... ...and we want to maintain... ...the South China Sea in particular... ...and the region as a whole... ...as a region of peace... ...of commerce... ...of prosperity... ...and... ...we had a very candid discussion... ...on al-Qus just now... ...and I thank the Foreign Minister... ...for explaining... ...the current government's position... ...and the Malaysia's position remained the same... ...and this I have... ...mention to... ...the Foreign Minister. Soalan lain? Any other questions? Soalan? Alright, that's it. Okay. No question. Ah, on football? Ya, I went back. I don't know if you're thinking about... ...concerned over the booming food crisis... ...as a result of... ...the Russian invasion of the Ukraine... ...and I wonder if you spoke with Senator Wong... ...about what Australia might do... ...to help alleviate the concerns... ...of the Southeast Asian neighbors? Well, the Minister was very kind... ...in her... ...elaboration with me... ...mentioning something to that effect. Perhaps... ...if the Foreign Minister... ...want to say something about it. I think... ...thank you, Foreign Minister. I think the consequences... ...of what is occurring in Ukraine... ...are obviously strategic... ...but they are also economic... ...yang diperkenalkan. And one of the points... ...we discussed in the meeting... ...was that Australia... ...continues to be a reliable supplier... ...for example of wheat and meat... ...at a time where global supply trains... ...have been constrained... ...and obviously... ...as a comprehensive strategic partner... ...we will work with Malaysia... ...if acquired on any issues they have... ...in terms of their supply constraints... ...arising out of the conflict in Ukraine. Terima kasih. Terima kasih, WBDTW. Terima kasih, Minister Wong. Itu pada mesyuarat Pertama Ketuaan Pembezaan.
