ASEAN: Today's summit to reinforce Malaysia's role in steering strategic cooperation
KUALA LUMPUR: The 46th ASEAN Summit, which enters its final day today, builds on the positive momentum achieved yesterday and is expected to further strengthen Malaysia's role in spearheading ASEAN's strategic cooperation agenda with regional and global partners. The Prime Minister's Senior Press Secretary, Tunku Nashrul Abaidah, said Malaysia remains committed to ensuring that its ASEAN Chairmanship in 2025 delivers meaningful, principled, and impactful outcomes for the people of ASEAN, especially through the key sessions taking place. 'Looking at the success of hosting the 46th ASEAN Summit, we should take pride in having a dedicated team committed to elevating the nation's reputation and delivering the best possible outcomes for all Malaysians,' he said. He made the statement during the Prime Minister's Office Daily Briefing, broadcast live via Anwar Ibrahim's Facebook page and the official PMO Malaysia Facebook account today. Tunku Nashrul said today's focus would be on enhancing ASEAN's cooperation with strategic partners, particularly through the convening of the 2nd ASEAN-Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Summit and the inaugural ASEAN-GCC-China Summit, both aimed at strengthening regional and inter-regional cooperation. He added that both summits would deliberate on concrete steps to expand cooperation in trade, investment, and sustainable development, in line with ASEAN's aspiration to play a more prominent role within the Indo-Pacific geoeconomic landscape. Also taking place today are the 16th East ASEAN Growth Area (BIMP-EAGA) Summit – comprising Brunei Darussalam, Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines – and the 16th Indonesia-Malaysia-Thailand Growth Triangle (IMT-GT) Summit, which aim to fine-tune subregional development agendas and strengthen cross-border connectivity among participating countries. On the 'Kuala Lumpur Declaration on ASEAN 2045: Our Shared Future', Tunku Nashrul described it as a major achievement from yesterday's summit, laying out a long-term strategic vision to guide the ASEAN Community over the next two decades. He said the document is a continuation of 'ASEAN 2025: Forging Ahead Together', signed during Malaysia's chairmanship in 2015, and now serves as a new roadmap to build a resilient, innovative, dynamic, and people-centred ASEAN Community, positioning ASEAN as a key growth centre in the Indo-Pacific region by 2045. 'This vision is outlined through six key documents, including strategic plans for the three ASEAN Community pillars and a regional connectivity plan.' 'It comprises more than 500 strategic measures that will be translated into concrete work programmes by ASEAN's sectoral bodies.' He added that a core component of ASEAN 2045 is to enhance ASEAN's position in the global economy as a sustainable, smart, and interconnected single market; and to build an inclusive community focusing on education, healthcare, employment opportunities, and social well-being. It also aims to position ASEAN as an active international player through principles of peace, multilateralism, and good governance. Tunku Nashrul said ASEAN 2045 also underscores the role of youth, women, and vulnerable groups in the process of building a regional community. The document was signed by Prime Minister Anwar as ASEAN Chair, Philippine President Ferdinand Romualdez Marcos Jr. (the incoming ASEAN Chair), Brunei's Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah, Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet, Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto, Lao Prime Minister Sonexay Siphandone, Singaporean Prime Minister Lawrence Wong, Thai Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra, Vietnamese Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh, and Myanmar Foreign Ministry's Permanent Secretary Aung Kyaw Moe.

‘Restoring the city's soul': PM Anwar to launch KL Heritage Project today
KUALA LUMPUR, April 25 — The KL Heritage Project, part of the Malaysia Madani Capital Heritage initiative, aims to revitalise the heart of Kuala Lumpur. The effort focuses not only on physical improvements but also on preserving the city's cultural and historical aspects while reinforcing community values, said Senior Press Secretary to the Prime Minister Tunku Nashrul Abaidah. He said the project to be launched today by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim aims to transform Kuala Lumpur into a creative and culturally rich city. 'The Prime Minister views the KL Heritage Project as a symbol of restoring the city's soul, in line with the Malaysia Madani aspiration that emphasises value-based and civilisational development,' he said. He said this during the Prime Minister's Office Daily Briefing, broadcast live on Anwar Ibrahim's and the PMO Malaysia's official Facebook pages yesterday. He added that since the beginning of his administration, the Prime Minister has consistently emphasised that development should not be measured solely by skyscrapers or mega projects, but by initiatives that impact people's lives. 'KL Heritage is a tangible manifestation of that principle — building the future without neglecting our roots and values. It prioritises strengthening the country's cultural and heritage values for the benefit of the people and to be appreciated by tourists,' he said. He added that the government's efforts to conserve and preserve these sites should not only focus on their historical aspects but also aim to foster a deep sense of love and appreciation for the nation's heritage and that this investment will yield significant returns for both the people and the country. 'The government will never allow or take a lax attitude toward historical landmarks that carry significant meaning in the nation's development,' he said. He added that the project brings together a wide range of strategic partners, including Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL), Think City, Khazanah, government-linked companies, government-linked investment companies, as well as artists and cultural practitioners, with a shared commitment to making Kuala Lumpur a city for all and a reflection of the nation's identity. — Bernama
