KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia is encouraged by the progress to finalise the code of conduct (CoC) among claimant countries in the South China Sea, but expressed concern that recent activities in the area can threaten peace and security.

Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Anifah Aman did not discount that the South China Sea dispute would be discussed at the 48th Asean Ministerial Meeting (AMM) here since four of the six claimant countries were Asean members. The other two are China and Taiwan.
