‘We are worried’: Indonesia and Malaysia express concern over Australia’s nuclear submarine plan
Aukus pact to obtain the high-tech vessels comes amid increasing tensions in the East and South China Seas
Malaysia and Indonesia share strong reservations over Australia’s decision to acquire nuclear-powered submarines, even though nuclear weapons were not part of the plan, Malaysia’s foreign minister said.
Referring to Aukus, a trilateral security pact agreed last month between Australia, the United States and Britain, Saifuddin Abdullah said the two Southeast Asian nations were similarly concerned about its ramifications.
