Singapore and Malaysia will begin negotiations to delimit their maritime boundaries in a month, as both countries have taken steps to de-escalate tensions at sea.
"The relationship between our two countries is rooted in our long history, and strong family and business ties," he said."This remains unchanged even with the new Malaysian government."Dr Mahathir said:"We agreed that the fundamental principle is to resolve issues of concern in a friendly and constructive manner."
Malaysia and Singapore had mutually suspended the extension of their overlapping port limits on Monday, reverting to what was in place before Oct 25 and Dec 6 last year, respectively. PM Lee said Singapore is willing to discuss this matter with Malaysia, and stressed the key considerations include the safety and efficiency of air traffic operations.
Beyond these bilateral issues, the broader Singapore-Malaysia relationship continues to grow, PM Lee said. For instance, the Joint Ministerial Committee on Iskandar Malay-sia is working to further cooperation on multiple fronts. Asked if the recent maritime and airspace disputes will have lasting damage to bilateral ties, PM Lee said:"If it is managed well, then it can be productive for both countries and the overall relationship can prosper. If it is not managed well, it can cause a lot of trouble and poison the overall relationship."
