Kota Kinabalu: Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor was today given a high-level briefing on the Sulawesi Sea Treaty signed on June 8 between Malaysia and Indonesia.

“Sabah is kept in the loop on the latest development and ongoing negotiations to determine the border and areas in dispute within our maritime boundary," he said when chairing the State Security Working Committee special meeting at Menara Kinabalu, near here, according to a statement.

”Sabah will honour the Treaty, but we also want to ensure Sabah’s rights are intact and all issues are resolved amicably (in the ongoing negotiation).”

Hajiji said the treaty had been hotly debated in the last Parliament sitting.

“It has been turned into a political issue and facts have been manipulated,” he said.
