Malaysia is ready to discuss the endorsement of Russia’s Mir payment system, though no negotiations on the issue are underway now, the country’s temporary charge d'affaires in Russia Johan Ariff Abdul Razak said.
"Yes, we are open to discussing the issue, though the discussion has not started yet," he said when asked whether Malaysia was ready to back the Mir payment system.
The diplomat noted that it would be more convenient for Russians that just arrived in Malaysia, to use the Chinese payment system UnionPay. "But in the future, I do not rule out that the Mir payment system will be operational in Malaysia," he added.
