MELAKA, Sept 9 (Bernama) — ASEAN is unique and stands among the most peaceful regions in the world, a distinction that has enabled the grouping to grow dynamically and attract global investments, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
He said ASEAN’s ability to uphold centrality while navigating complex geopolitical realities reflects the strength of working collectively as a team.
“At the same time, ASEAN has maintained its geopolitical stance by upholding centrality. It is not easy to navigate, but we are able to do so because we work as a team,” he said when opening the 19th edition of ASEAN Ministerial Meeting on Transnational Crime (AMMTC) here today.
Present were ASEAN Secretary-General Dr Kao Kim Hourn, Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail, Melaka Chief Minister Datuk Seri Ab Rauf Yusoh and delegates from ASEAN member states.
Anwar, who represents Malaysia as ASEAN Chair, noted that ASEAN’s strong bonds of trust are reflected in the frequent exchanges among its leaders.
