Malaysia-Japan propose new collaboration hub
In a Facebook post, Anwar said the initiative underscores Malaysia's commitment, as 2025 ASEAN Chair, to leading the region's push toward a low-carbon future.
'We welcome Japan's technical and advanced research support, especially through initiatives such as the Asia Zero Emission Community (AZEC), which will help accelerate the comprehensive and large-scale implementation of the National Energy Transition Roadmap (NETR).
'Japan, with its strengths in renewable energy, bioenergy, and carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS), has positioned itself as a key strategic partner in Malaysia's aspiration to become a regional hub for sustainable energy innovation,' he posted.
Anwar said the proposal was raised during his meeting with Japan's former Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, who paid a courtesy call on him today.
The Prime Minister also expressed confidence that stronger ties between industries, policymakers, and research communities of the two countries would fast-track Malaysia's energy transition, foster innovative solutions, and bolster regional economic resilience.
'This is the time to build a stronger economy for a sustainable legacy for future generations,' he added.
