SINGAPORE — Malaysia criticized the “deafening silence” from major powers on Sunday over the collapse of its deal with Norway for a naval missile system, saying it “sends a dangerous message” about the integrity of international contracts.
The two countries have fallen into a diplomatic dispute this month since Norway revoked export approvals for certain technologies.
Oslo says the move has not intentionally targeted Malaysia, but Kuala Lumpur is still seeking over $251 million in compensation from the Norwegian company involved in the deal.
