SINGAPORE and Malaysia will begin negotiations to delimit their maritime boundaries in a month, as both countries have implemented measures to de-escalate the situation at sea, said Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong.
Speaking at a joint press conference with his Malaysian counterpart Mahathir Mohamad at Perdana Putra after their Leaders' Retreat on Tuesday, Mr Lee noted that both countries have suspended the extensions of their overlapping port limits, and ceased anchoring government vessels in the area.
