Anwar expressed optimism for the project's success by May 2024, with the support of Sarawak Premier and Japan's Prime Minister. Both leaders discussed strengthening collaboration in areas like hydrogen, CCS, and green transformation during Ishiba's two-day official visit. The visit also highlighted the significant bilateral relations between Malaysia and Japan, with a focus on trade, investment, and higher education. The cooperation aims to enhance energy security and achieve decarbonisation, with a special emphasis on areas such as ammonia-fuelled gas turbines, CCS, hydrogen, and LNG. The joint efforts demonstrate the commitment to sustainable practices and the development of clean energy solutions.
