KUALA LUMPUR: Barisan Nasional (BN) has no plans to extend its cooperation with Perikatan Nasional (PN) for the 16th general election (GE16).

BN chairman Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said, however, that both sides could still sit down for discussions if the time came and circumstances warranted it.

"What we have gone through, particularly in Negri Sembilan and Melaka, is a political understanding.

"We have never planned to go beyond that, but if the time comes and the situation calls for it, we will sit down together," he told reporters after attending the People's Progressive Party's Deepavali open house here today.
