Nazir: Brexit shows top-down integration not sustainable

PETALING JAYA: The United Kingdom’s (UK) decision to quit the European Union demonstrates that the slow pace of regional integration of Asean is correct and top-down integration is not sustainable, according to CIMB Group Holdings Bhd chairman Datuk Seri Nazir Razak.

In a recent interview with Asia House, Nazir said Brexit would be sobering for those championing Asean integration and a great reminder that Asean should move at a pace that worked for the majority of the people in the region.
