As the world becomes more fragmented, Asean must continue to forge its unity and centrality, says Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan.
The Foreign Minister said that the region must continue to leverage its governing power to promote dialogue, diplomacy, and security to create space for cooperation.
00:00As we move towards a more inclusive, sustainable and future-oriented ASEAN community,
00:07the most urgent imperative is the need for us to address the existential and future-oriented
00:13as we move towards a more inclusive, sustainable and future-oriented ASEAN community,
00:23the most urgent imperative is the need for us to address the existential hazards of climate change.
00:32We have witnessed first-hand the effects of rising temperatures, natural disasters and extreme weather events on our region and its peoples.
00:44Moving forward, we must take coordinated and urgent action to ensure that our region remains adaptive and climate change resilient.
00:55Closer to home, the crisis in Myanmar continues to weigh heavily on our conscience.
01:02Despite ASEAN's sustained effort, we have yet to see meaningful progress on the ground.
01:09Delayed peace in Myanmar prolongs the sufferings of the people and threatens the region's guilt.
01:16We urge the translation of the proclamations of ceasefires into concrete actions,
01:24and recall on all stakeholders, particularly the SAC, as the de facto party in power to commit towards peace
01:34and the creation of conducive environment for elections in line with the aspirations of the people of Myanmar.
01:42ASEAN will continue to support the path towards the Myanmarhood and Myanmar-led peaceful resolution to the crisis in the country.
01:52Dear colleagues, indeed, dialogue and peaceful resolution are needed now more than ever all over the world.
01:59We are witnessing the breakdown of humanity as well as moral and legal norms that once defined the global system.
02:09Multilateralism is under attack. Unilateralism and nationalism are on the rise.
02:15In this fragmented world, ASEAN's unity and centrality is our capital.
02:22At a time when polarisation is trending, ASEAN must continue to leverage on our governing power to promote dialogue, diplomacy and strategic trust and create space for cooperation.
02:36The road ahead will not be easy. The external pressures on our unity will grow. The calls for us to take sides will get louder. The crisis around the world may multiply.
02:51Amid their uncertainty and unprecedented strain of global challenges, ASEAN must stand firm.
02:58ASEAN must be the beacon of hope, be the voice of reason and continue to be the platform for cooperation and prosperity.
03:10We must continue to embrace and place our faith in regionalism and multilateralism.
03:16We must continue to champion the principles of justice, fairness, equality and humanity.
03:23And the development of international media is done for the labour and movement.
03:24We must continue to become aiu-purchasing in www.trentice-carter.edu.
03:25And our economy is a free movement.
03:26We must continue to ensure this is strong and difficult to challenge our security.
03:27So many years, a country will be the one and a country will continue to influence us with other adequate measures.
03:29We must continue to demonstrate that our history, those lives are very important and important in our community.
03:33That means an important part of our society will continue to engage in a short-term approach.
03:34We must continue to serve as long-term approach for our society,
03:37and live.
03:38We must continue to protect our communities and DRU, the safety of us and mask.
03:39We must continue to keep our society through and protect our society.
03:41We must continue to work and protect our own mentally possible beliefs to be the same goal.
