MANADO: Malaysia will contribute US$1mil (RM3.54mil) to the Coral Triangle Initiative which aims to save the marine life in the region’s seas, dubbed the “Amazon of the oceans.”
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said that although Malaysia was only a small part of the Coral Triangle, it supported regional programmes to protect, preserve and sustainably exploit its marine resources.
“We also support Indonesia’s offer to host the CTI secretariat,” he told Malaysian reporters covering the CTI Summit in the North Sulawesi capital yesterday.
