Building on cooperation to achieve Asean vision

Communication is key: Liew addressing attendees during the ‘Asean in a Multipolar World’ dialogue in Petaling Jaya.

PETALING JAYA: Association of South-East Asian Nations (Asean) countries should create better cooperation with each other so they can race to the top and build societies aligned with the Asean Community Vision 2045 proposal, says Liew Chin Tong.

“There was pressure by the multinational companies for us to compete against each other by offering tax cuts, suppressing wages and destroying our environment in order to compete for them to invest in our respective countries,” the Deputy Investment, Trade and Industry Minister said.
