SUBANG, May 25 (Bernama) — The Sultan of Brunei, Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah, has arrived in Malaysia to attend the 46th ASEAN Summit, scheduled to take place from May 26 to 27.
The special aircraft carrying His Majesty and his delegation landed at the Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF) Base, here, at 4.30 pm.
The Sultan of Brunei's arrival was received by Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail.
Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah then inspected a guard of honour mounted by two officers and 26 personnel of the First Battalion of the Royal Ranger Regiment (Ceremonial), led by Captain Muhammad Syafiq Najmi Mazlan.
His Majesty's presence at the upcoming 46th ASEAN Summit at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC) underscores Brunei's strong commitment to regional cooperation.
During the 44th ASEAN Summit in Vientiane, Laos, in October 2024, Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah highlighted, among other things, the importance of addressing climate change and strengthening regional solidarity.
Malaysia's Chairmanship of ASEAN this year, themed 'Inclusivity and Sustainability', reflects its commitment to fostering a united, resilient and forward-looking ASEAN community.
This marks Malaysia's fifth time assuming the ASEAN Chairmanship, following previous terms in 1977, 1997, 2005 and 2015.
The 46th ASEAN Summit will also feature the second ASEAN-Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Summit and the inaugural ASEAN-GCC-China Summit.

PM Anwar: Malaysia invites Myanmar conflict groups for dialogue in Kuala Lumpur
SINGAPORE — Malaysia has taken the initiative to invite different groups in the Myanmar conflict for a dialogue in Kuala Lumpur in a bid to find a lasting solution to the ongoing crisis, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said today. He said the invitation was extended to the groups last month. 'I've started…and I urge my counterparts to send their teams, officials and military personnel intelligence to continue to engage,' he said during a question-and-answer session following his Special Address at the Shangri-La Dialogue, here. When asked about the possibility of elections in Myanmar, Anwar said the immediate priority is to ensure peace, security, and the delivery of humanitarian aid. He noted that ASEAN leaders have continued to push for an extended ceasefire and the protection of all humanitarian aid workers. 'If the elections are fair and more inclusive and do not exclude parties, then of course, we are ready to accept, although (the process) may not be perfect,' he added. Myanmar's State Administration Council (SAC), in March, announced that they will hold a general election either in December this year or January 2026 at the latest, according to international media reports. — BERNAMA
