policy divisions in responding

Under Prime Minister Anwar, Malaysia is actively positioning ASEAN as a new economic and geopolitical force capable of revitalizing global economic growth while serving as a stabilizer for regional and global security dynamics. However, internal constraints within ASEAN persist, including intense competition among member states, limited intra-regional trade, and policy divisions in responding to external geopolitical dynamics. Malaysia is working to improve ASEAN’s collective composition, ensuring the region’s overall economic strength becomes a major attraction, especially in critical new sectors where each member state plays a role. This reduces internal competition and uses shared strengths strategically. สล็อต
