"We bought Sukhoi fighter jets. We are still using them. We will continue to strengthen our cooperation with Russia," Sabu, who also served as Malaysian defense minister from 2018-2020, said.
As chair of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), Malaysia will promote closer ties with Russia next year, the official noted.
