Malaysian PM Anwar to lead Asean through critical regional and global challenges in 2025


VIENTIANE (Bernama): It was a highly-successful outing for Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim at the 44th and 45th Asean Summits where he pushed member nations to not only promote economic prosperity for South-East Asians via new initiatives but for parties engaged in conflict to pursue diplomacy to give peace a chance for global citizens.

The Malaysian prime minister also boldly advocated for superpowers to encourage their warring allies to return to negotiations, addressing regional territorial and maritime disputes, the brutal Israeli attacks on Palestinians in Gaza and Lebanon, and Russia’s ongoing war in Ukraine, which has claimed thousands of lives.
