00:00All ten ASEAN leaders, including Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, have officially signed the region's long-term vision document, titled ASEAN 2045 – Our Shared Future.
00:16This marks a significant milestone in the bloc's ongoing journey of regional integration.
00:22Describing the vision as a living covenant with the future, Anwar said the blueprint is anchored in realism,
00:29animated by resolve and made possible by trust.
00:32He said ASEAN's efforts over the decades had been guided by strategic vision, shared responsibility and regional trust,
00:40with the newly adopted document serving as a continuation of that legacy amid rising global uncertainty.
00:47I record my deep appreciation to all who contributed to this vision,
00:53shaped by persistence, pragmatism and the quiet power of regional trust.
01:00A decade ago, on this very day and in this very city, we launched the ASEAN Community Vision 2025.
01:11That moment reaffirmed ASEAN's role as an anchor of stability and a rising center of economic gravity.
01:21But today, the international order is unsettled.
01:25Geopolitical tensions, economic fragmentation, climate and technological disruption are testing the bonds between nations.
01:36That these same technologies carry risks.
01:39Left unmanaged, they may deepen inequality, displace livelihoods and outspace our roads.
01:49Anwar highlighted that ASEAN's future must be grounded in sustainability and inclusion,
01:55with integration efforts focused on closing development gaps, improving living standards and investing in the potential of all its citizens.
02:04As we turn this page, we renew our promise to our peoples, to our region and to the generations yet to rise.
02:15Let us move forward with clarity in our vision, steadiness in our purpose and unity in our will,
02:25to build the ASEAN we owe to future generations.
02:32The signed declaration was later handed over to the ASEAN Secretary-General, Dr. Kai Kim Horn.
02:45We have completed the OSEAN.
02:47We are now in this question, who are not using the name of the ASEAN as a reminder of this project.
