As Asean chair, Malaysia should promote philosophy

AS Malaysia takes Asean’s helm in 2025, it stands at the intersection of tradition and global diplomacy.

With the theme of “Inclusivity and Sustainability”, Malaysia’s leadership presents a unique opportunity to project its soft power, showcasing its rich philosophical heritage to a global audience. Malaysia can redefine how the world perceives South-East Asia – not just as an economic hub, but as a philosophical and cultural powerhouse.
