He said Asean is a zone of peace and is free from nuclear weapons and always strives to avoid anything that could bring harm to humanity.

00:00Eileen from the Associated Press, just two short questions.
00:06Number one, what's ASEAN's view or Malaysia's view on President Trump's order to start nuclear testing?
00:15What's your view on that?
00:17And number two, also in your joint statement with the US, I think there's a joint statement,
00:22Malaysia-US joint statement after your bilateral meeting.
00:24So you mentioned grey zone tactics, that's clearly a clear provocation and threat.
00:31So could you elaborate on that?
00:33I mean, you're referring to...
00:35I know that question will come up.
00:37On the nuclear testing, one, ASEAN is a zone of peace and nuclear free.
00:44So we, we don't, we, of course, we, our view is that we try to avoid anything that can bring great calamity to humankind.
00:58But for ASEAN area, we, it is a nuclear free area.
01:04So we, we will maintain that position.
01:08If you look at the press statement, you can see that in every paragraph, it says that the minister and the secretary of war,
01:15the minister and the secretary.
01:16But for that paragraph, it only say the minister noted, which means it comes from the secretary.
01:22So you have to ask him.
01:26Yeah, I just take note, but it doesn't mean that...
01:29Because in other paragraph, it says the minister and the secretary, which means both of us.
01:35Okay?
01:36So you read it again.
01:37That answers your question.
01:40Terima kasih.
01:52Terima kasih.
