Joined Professor Tommy Koh at the launch of "The Straits of Malacca and Singapore: A Model for the World"! 🚢🌊
Nearly a quarter of the world's seaborne trade passes through these waters. For over half a century, Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore have worked together to improve navigational safety along the Straits. Even when there were differences in views, we did not allow these to paralyse cooperation, because all three countries recognised that keeping our waterways safe, secure and open was in everyone's best interests.
Keeping the Straits open, safe and secure will take the work of every generation of leaders. My congratulations to Professor Koh, the editors and everyone who brought this book together.
