Fahmi: ASEAN Summit a resounding success, draws global media attention
SEPANG — Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil (picture) has described the hosting of the 46th ASEAN Summit and Related Summits in Kuala Lumpur as a tremendous success. Fahmi, who is also the MADANI government spokesman, said the summit, which began on Monday, received widespread coverage from both local and foreign media. 'Alhamdulillah, I observed that the 2nd ASEAN-Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Summit and the ASEAN-GCC-China Summit were held successfully. 'Generally, feedback from the public and international media indicates that the hosting of these summits was indeed successful,' he told Bernama here today. Earlier, Fahmi bid farewell to Oman's Deputy Prime Minister for International Relations and Cooperation Affairs, Sayyid Asaad bin Tarik al Said, and his delegation as they departed from the Bunga Raya Complex at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) at 2.33 pm. Fahmi said the successful hosting of the summits proved that Southeast Asia can play a strategic role in matters of investment and broader global issues. 'We know that member countries have their own views on certain issues, but under the ASEAN umbrella, we can ensure that Southeast Asia remains stable, making it an attractive destination for both investors and tourists. This is a highly positive and encouraging outcome,' he said. He also said that the success of the ASEAN-GCC and ASEAN-GCC-China summits demonstrated ASEAN's potential to act as a connector between continents. 'Despite differing views, we can still find common ground within this stability to pursue progress and shared prosperity,' he said. The 46th ASEAN Summit, which concluded yesterday, brought together Southeast Asian leaders for high-level discussions focused on regional cooperation, economic integration and geopolitical stability. As Chair of ASEAN 2025, Malaysia hosted both the 2nd ASEAN-GCC Summit and the inaugural ASEAN-GCC-China Summit to strengthen inter-regional collaboration. The 47th ASEAN Summit is scheduled to be held again in Kuala Lumpur in October, under Malaysia's continued chairmanship. — BERNAMA

ASEAN Main Logistics Secretariat sets sights on raising the bar for October's summit
KUALA LUMPUR: The Main Logistics Secretariat for ASEAN 2025 is determined to raise the bar for the upcoming 47th ASEAN Summit, scheduled for October this year, following the successful execution of the 46th ASEAN Summit and Related Summits, which concluded today. Head of the Secretariat Raja Saifful Ridzuwan Raja Kamaruddin said the team would use a comprehensive post-event evaluation of the recently concluded summit and related meetings, held from May 22 at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre here, as a blueprint to refine future preparations. 'Honestly, I am very satisfied because everything we planned over the past five months has fully materialised. 'But the real challenge lies ahead in October. We've already tested our capabilities and coordination with various agencies. Now, our focus is on identifying our weaknesses and improving them,' he said when featured on Bernama TV's special programme on ASEAN Summit 2025 tonight. One of the key hurdles, Raja Saifful noted, was presenting Malaysia's identity as a multiracial, peaceful, and tolerant nation, grounded in the MADANI principles - a national development philosophy championed by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim - to the broader ASEAN community. 'We wanted to carry the Prime Minister's aspirations onto the ASEAN stage, including through the (ASEAN 2025) logo. That's why we featured blue, red, and yellow - the colours that not only represent ASEAN, but also Malaysia,' he explained. Raja Saifful also underscored ASEAN's central role in Malaysia's foreign policy, particularly in terms of contributing to regional economic growth and stability through a wide range of collaborative initiatives. The ASEAN Summit, which drew leaders and high-level delegations from ASEAN and partner countries, was held under Malaysia's 2025 ASEAN Chairmanship theme 'Inclusivity and Sustainability'. This year marks Malaysia's fifth term as ASEAN Chair, following previous chairmanships in 1977, 1997, 2005, and 2015.

Brunei says Sultan in good health after hospitalisation in Malaysia
BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN: Brunei's Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah is in good health after being admitted to a hospital in Malaysia due to tiredness during a regional summit, Reuters quoted his office as saying on Tuesday. The 78-year-old monarch was admitted to the National Heart Institute (IJN) in Kuala Lumpur and is expected to remain there for several days on the advice of Malaysian medical experts, his office added. 'His Majesty ... is in good health,' the statement from his office read, noting that the Sultan had been feeling tired. Earlier, members of the media had inquired about the Sultan's absence from the ASEAN-Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC)-China Summit held this afternoon, amid reports that His Majesty was undergoing treatment at IJN, according to Bernama. This was later confirmed by Malaysian Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, who is chairing this week's ASEAN leaders' summit. 'He's a little bit tired and resting,' Anwar said briefly during a press conference on the 46th ASEAN Summit and Related Summits at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre.
