US will continue to help police Straits of Malacca
PUTRAJAYA, March 10 — The United States Government wants to continue providing assistance to littoral states to secure the Straits of Malacca. This follows recent information from its intelligence network on possible terrorist threats along the straits.
US Assistant Secretary for East Asian and Pacific Affairs Kurt M. Campbell said the state took an active role to provide support to Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia on the issue.
“We think that cooperation is very strong. We think those states are in a lead and we want to continue to provide as much assistance,” he told reporters after the Second Senior Officials Dialogue with the Malaysian Foreign Ministry here today. Campbell said the matter was also discussed during his visit to Singapore recently.
