With regards to the Malaysian Ambassador to Washington or to the United States,
00:07
the Ministry has studied the appropriateness for us to send a representative of our country to the United States,
00:20
someone who has already been a ready-made ambassador.
00:24
A ready-made ambassador means someone who has experience in the field of international relations,
00:30
in negotiating with international organizations,
00:36
especially in the current state of America under the new administration of President Donald Trump.
00:44
We need an expert in the field of bilateral relations,
00:53
especially not only with ASEAN, but also with Malaysia and the United States,
00:59
because the importance of trade between Malaysia and the United States is great.
01:03
So we cannot just send a random person to be our representative in the United States.
01:11
We need someone who is already an expert in the field of international relations,
01:18
negotiating and so on,
01:20
because we need his service as a ready-made ambassador for us to continue working,
01:27
especially in our efforts for ASEAN to hold a special summit, ASEAN-US, this year.
01:39
If we can do this, we will be able to ensure that we continue and also improve the bilateral relations between America and Malaysia.
01:50
This is important because the importance of this bilateral relationship is of great importance to our country.
01:58
We have confirmed and when we go through the process of approval,
02:06
we will send an agreement from the United States,
02:12
which is our request to send our representative and they agree.
02:17
When the agreement is approved by the US side,
02:21
then we will ask Mr. Agung to give a letter to our representative to the US.
02:30
When this process is completed,
02:35
the representative will be able to be sent directly and continue to work there,
02:41
without being forced to adjust himself,
02:45
we will send someone who is already an expert in the field of international relations.
