Malaysia has also unilaterally declared its maritime boundaries through a 1979 map published by its Department of Mapping and Survey.

Malaysia has signed joint development agreements for areas which are subject to overlapping claims with Thailand and Vietnam.

The boundaries between the two countries currently follow those determined through pre-independence British Orders in Council.
