KUALA LUMPUR:
Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has written to US president Donald Trump to request his support in organising a meeting between Asean and the US.
He said this followed the Asean Foreign Ministers’ Meeting in Langkawi earlier this year.
“I have taken the liberty of writing to president Donald Trump to seek his understanding and support in organising a US-Asean meeting, which reflects our serious commitment to the principle of centrality.
“This speaks not only to our aspirations but also to our responsibilities. It is anchored in the conviction that Asean’s future must be built upon the twin pillars of equitable, sustainable growth and lasting resilience,” he said during his opening remarks at the 46th Asean Summit here today.
