Anwar advocates for political cooperation in Asia at CPC dialogue

BEIJING: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has expressed his support for an initiative aimed at enhancing political cooperation and regional stability in Asia.

In his congratulatory message at the "CPC (Communist Party of China) in Dialogue with Political Parties of Neighbouring Countries," he said the CPC initiative reflects a commitment to regional solidarity, inclusivity, and constructive engagement during global uncertainty.

As the Chair of Asean, he said Malaysia welcomes this initiative, which aligns with the shared aspirations for a stable, prosperous, and interconnected Asia.

He said the theme "Building a Community with a Shared Future with Neighbouring Countries—Political Parties in Action” encapsulates the urgent need for political foresight and collective responsibility among Asian nations.

"We view this dialogue as more than a diplomatic engagement. It is a strategic conduit to consolidate mutual trust, amplify regional voices and chart a path towards shared destiny.

"May this dialogue serve not merely as a forum of ideas, but as a beacon of unity, a compass for regional stability and a catalyst for transnational solidarity," added Anwar, who is also PKR president.

DAP vice-chairman Teo Nie Ching, also Deputy Communications Minister, read his message.

Representatives from MCA, Amanah and the Progressive Democratic Party were also present.
