Foreign Minister Hishammuddin Hussein said the "big brother" remark which he used during a press conference with his Chinese counterpart in Beijing was not referring to bilateral relations.
In a tweet, he explained that Wangi Yi is older and more senior to him as a foreign minister, hence the word "elder brother" was used.
