KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim believes that ASEAN stands on the precipice of renewal and transformation, underpinned by a vision of shared progress, prosperity and justice.
He said ASEAN is no longer a bystander in global affairs but a dynamic and influential force driving positive change.
“And I could not agree more with Prime Minister Chính (Vietnamese Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh), where he described that ASEAN is a region of ‘incredible vitality’,” he said in his keynote address at the ASEAN Future Forum in Hanoi, Vietnam today.
The forum, titled “Building a United, Inclusive, and Resilient ASEAN Amidst Global Transformation,“ is organised by Vietnam’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Earlier, the Prime Minister held a breakfast meeting with his Vietnamese counterpart and remarked that this was his first working visit to Vietnam since Malaysia assumed the ASEAN Chairmanship for 2025.
