Malaysia and Thai PMs resolve fisheries issue, to work on special economic border zone

Malaysia and Thailand's leaders have sorted out a long-standing fisheries dispute that had led to trade restrictions on seafood. Thailand had halted imports of Malaysian sea bass, citing chemical residue issues, while Malaysia retaliated by banning some Thai shrimp. Now, both countries are committed to enhancing cooperation, including developing a special economic border zone. This resolution is significant as it restores trade flows and strengthens bilateral relations, crucial for economic stability in the region.
