Malaysia’s Asean theme receives encouraging response

MALAYSIA’s explanation on why it chose a people-centred Asean as its theme when assuming the chair of the regional body next year has received encouraging response from the other members of the grouping.

Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said Malaysia was also calling on Asean to draw up a 10-year post-integration plan for the region and conduct a mid-term review to ensure that its vision remained relevant to changing times.
