Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) Corporate Strategy and Relations Centre Officer, Noor Eszereen Juferi, 44, said this is in line with ASEAN's commitment to building a more inclusive and sustainable region. "Climate change and the digital divide, particularly affecting rural communities, remain ongoing challenges. I hope Malaysia will take a wise and proactive role in enhancing regional cooperation on food security, addressing the climate crisis and driving digital empowerment," she told Bernama. She also expressed hope that the ASEAN 2025 summit would further address economic and employment opportunities for the region's younger generation, particularly through initiatives in education, tourism, and talent development. Sharing a similar view, Angel Ng, 42, said ASEAN should fully harness its abundant resources and rich cultural diversity to promote tourism and generate regional economic benefits. She said this could be achieved through the spirit of ASEAN solidarity, where member countries support one another in overcoming challenges. 'Together, we can build a stronger, greener, and more united ASEAN,' said the civil servant. Meanwhile, Roznah Abdul Jabbar, 44, shared that it would be ideal if the disparities between ASEAN member states across various sectors could be narrowed, ensuring that prosperity, development, and security are enjoyed collectively.
