Nada Mustafa
Leaders of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) have formally adopted the Kuala Lumpur Declaration on ASEAN 2045, outlining a comprehensive 20-year roadmap to guide the region's political, economic, social, and connectivity agenda. This is reported by Xinhua News Agency, a partner of TV BRICS.
Endorsed at the 46th ASEAN Summit in Kuala Lumpur, the declaration sets the framework for the ASEAN Community Vision 2045, a forward-looking strategy designed to strengthen regional unity, promote inclusive growth, and enhance ASEAN's position as a major global economic force, according to TV BRICS.
Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim emphasised that the vision rests on the principles of sustainability, inclusivity, and people-centred development. He noted the importance of closing development gaps, raising living standards, and investing in human potential.
The ASEAN Community Vision 2045 is structured around four strategic pillars: political cooperation, economic integration, socio-cultural advancement, and enhanced regional connectivity.
In addition to its development goals, the Vision includes measures to strengthen the use of local currencies for cross-border transactions, improve disaster risk financing, and address the impacts of environmental degradation.
As ASEAN chair for 2025, Malaysia is hosting the summit series under the theme 'Inclusivity and Sustainability,' reinforcing the group's long-term commitment to regional cooperation.

Elon Musk Rejects Drug Use Allegations
Israa Farhan Elon Musk has publicly denied allegations of drug use, specifically ketamine, following renewed scrutiny from media outlets and online commentators. The tech billionaire and CEO of Tesla and SpaceX addressed the accusations on X (formerly Twitter), dismissing speculation over his behavior in a viral video as unfounded. The controversy was reignited after a March 22 post resurfaced showing Musk creating a spaceship-like structure out of utensils during a dinner event. The original post implied that Musk's behavior was a result of ketamine use. Renowned programmer Paul Graham responded, saying such behavior did not necessarily imply drug use. Musk replied directly to Graham, stating, 'I'm not on ketamine,' firmly rejecting the claim. Shortly thereafter, Musk criticized a New York Times article suggesting he used drugs during a period when he became closely aligned with former U.S. President Donald Trump. The article implied a link between Musk's alleged drug use and his political affiliations. The Wall Street Journal previously reported in 2023 that Musk was using ketamine, and in January 2024, it published follow-up claims citing unnamed sources alleging continued use of multiple substances, particularly ketamine. The reports suggested potential risks not only to Musk's personal health but also to the performance and stability of the companies he leads. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Sports Neymar Announced for Brazil's Preliminary List for 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Arts & Culture New Archaeological Discovery from 26th Dynasty Uncovered in Karnak Temple Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan

Japan, S. Korea Launch Fast-Track Tourist Entry Lanes
Israa Farhan In a move to strengthen bilateral relations and improve travel convenience, Japan and South Korea have introduced special fast-track immigration lanes for tourists traveling between the two countries. The initiative celebrates the 60th anniversary of the normalization of diplomatic ties, established on June 22, 1965. The new lanes opened on Sunday at four major airports: Haneda Airport in Tokyo, Fukuoka Airport in southwestern Japan, Gimpo International Airport in Seoul, and Gimhae International Airport in Busan. The dedicated lanes are designed to speed up the immigration process for eligible travelers and will remain in operation until June 30. To use the fast-track service, travelers must have visited the respective country within the past year and complete advance registration. The service is available for flights arriving between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. According to Japan's Immigration Services Agency, this is the first time a Japanese airport has designated an immigration lane for citizens of a specific country, highlighting the growing importance of tourism and cultural ties between the two neighbors. Tourism between Japan and South Korea has significantly increased in recent years, driven by shared interest in pop culture, drama, music, and cuisine. Despite long-standing historical and territorial disputes, both nations remain top destinations for travelers from the other side of the East Sea. A South Korean tourist visiting Japan with his family said he appreciates the ease of travel and expressed hope for even closer relations between the two nations. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Sports Neymar Announced for Brazil's Preliminary List for 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Arts & Culture New Archaeological Discovery from 26th Dynasty Uncovered in Karnak Temple Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan
