Malaysia Showcases Diplomatic Prowess with Successful Asean Summit, Says Fahmi

PUTRAJAYA: The successful hosting of the 47th Asean Summit and Related Summits has highlighted Malaysia as a major power in world diplomacy, with the attendance of world leaders from the United States, BRICS, the International Monetary Fund and the United Nations. Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil said the three-day summit, held in Kuala Lumpur beginning Sunday, was conducted smoothly amid a challenging global geopolitical and economic landscape, reflecting Malaysia’s capability to manage the meetings with excellence. ‘Malaysia has successfully hosted the 47th Asean Summit, and our diplomatic excellence has been acknowledged. ‘We may not have nuclear weapons, but our strength lies in how we welcome our guests and the way we ensure everything runs smoothly. No other nation could have steered the Asean ship through turbulent waves of trade wars and global geopolitics quite like we did,’ he said when addressing the Communications Ministry’s Jasamu Dikenang 2025 event here.
