Posted on 2026-08-18 16:23:13
Taiwan's government has strongly condemned Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim over comments it says undermine Taiwan's sovereignty.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs says Anwar portrayed Taiwan as a separatist province of China and justified Beijing's possible use of force against the island during a recent media interview.
MOFA says such remarks threaten regional peace and could seriously damage political trust between Taiwan and Malaysia.
It reiterated that Taiwan and China are not subordinate to each other.
The ministry also warned Anwar's comments could affect Taiwanese businesses' confidence in investing in Malaysia, despite close economic and trade ties between the two sides.
