00:00The main focus of peace efforts in the South China Sea and economic growth in the north of Semenanggur
00:16The issue of peace in the South China Sea is the issue of domestic Thailand, I want to explain that
00:22This is not a Malaysian issue, but because of our good relationship with Thailand, we ask for cooperation to support peace efforts
00:36And that is what we have committed and what is needed, be it security, economic, social, education, and cooperation between governments in the north, we will implement
00:53So this is one of the important things that I have achieved in the meeting, although short, but it continues
01:02I agree with my colleague, Prime Minister Setar, it has to be practical, there is a problem, it's over, after a day of discussion, two weeks, answer
01:13If you want to speed up the bridge, two weeks, give a report, the Cabinet will investigate here, and the Thailand Cabinet will investigate in Bangkok
01:22So in that way, we will see a good change, and coincidentally, the South China Sea can benefit, and we are more focused on the implementation of the project
01:34Now, the project has been postponed for 10 years, with the longest delay, due to the decision of the Cabinet, some basic decisions, and also the IAEA
01:50Now it has been terminated, and in the meeting, we ask for compensation, so one additional project, cooperation between Thailand and Malaysia for Naratiwat and Kelantan
02:08But of course, it gives a very positive picture of the improvement of cooperation in terms of economic growth
02:20Thank you
