SINGAPORE – Both Singapore and Malaysia are determined to work together and tackle outstanding bilateral issues, said Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong on Monday.
He added that addressing these issues – which include maritime delimitation, land reclamation works at Pedra Branca, water and airspace – is not easy as trust has to be built between both parties. PM Lee said all the outstanding issues are important, and will be considered holistically and constructively, within the broader context of the overall relationship between the two countries.
He added that instead of focusing purely on price mechanisms, the two countries should also look into the possibility of Singapore participating in joint efforts of studying the issue, which can be conducted immediately, and also in managing the Johor river. A joint statement issued by both leaders after the retreat also noted progress and efforts made in areas such as promoting tourism, helping start-ups, and addressing transboundary environmental issues.
