BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN, The 25th Annual Leaders' Consultation between Malaysia and Brunei, held at Istana Nurul Iman here, has enhanced cooperation between the two countries, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. Anwar said that in continuing the good relations between Malaysia and Brunei, the government cannot deny the role of previous leaders in maintaining this relationship. However, he said the government is taking a different approach in continuing this cooperation to ensure that the relationship between Malaysia and Brunei can have a more effective impact on both countries. 'There are two aspects: first, we are committed to strengthening this relationship in all possible fields, and second, we also have a somewhat different approach from the previous one, where we seek direct relations in several aspects, even though they are subject to the final decision of the federal government, including direct relations between Brunei, Sabah and Sarawak. 'This is a practical approach because, at the borde r, there is also a need to enhance transportation and tourism links, which can benefit both Brunei and Malaysia,' he said at a press conference here today.
