Govt Regrets Action Of Norway In Not Approving Guided Missile Export Permit- Datuk Fahmi

KUALA LUMPUR, May 13 (Bernama) -- The Malaysian government has expressed deep regret over the Norwegian government's decision not to approve the export permit for the procurement of missiles from the country at the last minute. Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil said the decision had prevented the Norwegian company involved from continuing with the supply as agreed, even though the procurement contract had been signed since 2018. He said the contract had been implemented without any issues, with all payments made on schedule. "The Malaysian government absolutely cannot accept the reasons put forward by the Norwegian government," he said at a weekly press conference at Angkasapuri here today. Fahmi, who is also the MADANI Government spokesperson, said the government is currently taking action through diplomatic channels in addition to considering follow-up steps from a legal perspective because matters related to national defence planning involved strategic interests that could not be compromised. -- BERNAMA
