PETALING JAYA: Asean’s strength lies in its ability to harmonise its cultural diversity with collective progress towards a sustainable, innovative, and people-centred future, says Datuk Seri Tiong King Sing.
The Tourism, Arts and Culture Minister said as a member of the regional grouping, Malaysia will continue to advocate unity in diversity “where our shared values, cultures and traditions unite us as one region despite our differences.”
