Malaysia’s Defence Minister, Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin, has stated the government is prepared to address the cancellation of a missile deal with Norway. The deal was part of the larger Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) project. Details surrounding Norway’s revocation of the contract were not provided in the statement. Minister Nordin indicated a willingness to find a resolution to the issue, suggesting ongoing discussions or potential negotiations. The LCS project has faced scrutiny and delays previously, and this cancellation adds another layer of complexity. The government’s proactive stance aims to mitigate further setbacks to the naval defense program. No timeline for resolution was given.
