During the RM2.28 billion 1MDB trial, Najib claimed that it was 'ridiculous' to think China could have solved 1MDB's problems and such a move would have faced international condemnation. He stated that Amhari's trip was for reconnaissance regarding potential infrastructure projects with China, not to seek financial assistance. The prosecution questioned Najib about Amhari's subsequent trip to Abu Dhabi, where he met with Mubadala Investment Co CEO Khaldoon Khalifa Al Mubarak to resolve 1MDB's disputes with International Petroleum Investment Company (IPIC). Najib insisted that Amhari was representing him, not 1MDB, in these matters.
