Malaysia and Norway are in a diplomatic dispute after Norway revokes export approvals for certain technologies linked to a missile-related deal that has been scrapped, according to reports. Malaysia criticizes Norway for what it calls “deafening silence,” saying the lack of communication follows the revocation of export approvals. The dispute is described as developing over the month as Norway’s decision affects specific technology exports associated with the agreement. Malaysia’s remarks focus on the absence of timely engagement or clarification, while the reported trigger remains Norway’s decision to withdraw export authorisations. The developments are framed as a bilateral diplomatic issue rather than a dispute over commercial terms alone, with both sides’ actions centering on export permissions for technology relevant to defence-related capabilities. The reports do not provide additional details on the scope of the revoked approvals or the full list of affected technologies. They also do not specify any further steps Malaysia or Norway plans to take beyond the public criticism and the ongoing diplomatic disagreement.
