Malaysia threatens legal action as Norway blocks missile export

Malaysia is considering legal action against Norway after Oslo blocked the export of Naval Strike Missiles for Malaysia's troubled littoral combat ship program. Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has discussed the issue with his Norwegian counterpart, expressing deep disappointment and rejecting the reasons provided for the export denial. The contract, signed in 2018, had proceeded without issue until this last-minute decision, which Malaysia views as a compromise to its national defense strategy. AI
