As other international coalitions that Malaysia has joined have been ineffective, a new approach should be leveraged.  “Therefore, BRICS is the new incarnation of effective international organisations that cooperate not only in trade and investment but also have leverage of membership by emerging markets. Rizal says Malaysia has a record of condemning any morally wrong actions in the international forum. “In the world of multipolarity, being a member of this bloc is important to ensure one’s survival and bargaining power. Hence, Malaysia will not let that opportunity go to waste,” he said, adding that the combined GDP of BRICS totals US$25.85 trillion (RM121.4 trillion).  While Malaysia has never intended to challenge major powers, it remains independent and will always make its voice heard, especially in the chaotic world of multipolar diplomacy. My comment on Malaysia's bids to join BRICS in the Malaysian Reserve.

I recently had the privilege of meeting with the newly appointed 🇬🇷 Secretary General for International Economic Affairs and Chairman of the Board of Enterprise Greece SA, Mr. Dimitris Skalkos. Our dialogue focused on shaping the 2025 agenda for the Hellenic-ASEAN Business Council (HABC), underscoring a mutual commitment to strengthening Greece-ASEAN collaboration in trade and economic growth. We both recognized the transformative potential within Southeast Asia, where expanding opportunities can significantly benefit both our regions. I highlighted Southeast Asia’s immense resources and untapped markets, which we believe will drive fundamental advancements in the coming years. A pivotal point was establishing a strategic alliance between Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Hellenic Republic - Enterprise Greece SA and the Hellenic-ASEAN Business Council (HABC), setting a foundation to amplify our shared initiatives and elevate future business delegations. It is encouraging to know our goals and vision are well aligned, setting the stage for a prosperous engagement with a region full of dynamic potential and mutual benefit. ✒️✒️✒️ __________________________________ #hellenicasean #hellenicrepublic #mfa #asean #enterprisegreece #trade #business #mission #delegation #alliance #economic #sociocultural #relations #aseanontherise #southeastasia #greece

Serge Eric Menye je crois la majorité du leadership africain est psychologiquement déficient. Africa Indonesia# It is easy to understand why no one respect African leadership. Busy organising meeting that yield to nothing. Jumping everywhere like little monkeys in banana trees! The pupil leadership from Africa is gearing up for the upcoming Indonesia-Africa Summit. Indonesia's commitment to strengthening ties with African countries is evident as they prepare for the second Indonesia-Africa Forum in Bali next week. President Joko Widodo's visit to Africa in 2023 underscored Indonesia's dedication to fostering solidarity and cooperation among Global South nations. Indonesia has been actively increasing development aid to Africa, with a focus on key areas such as food security, energy, and health through various programs launched over the past decade. As Jakarta looks to establish new partnerships and tap into trade markets in Africa, the upcoming forum signifies Indonesia's growing attention and resources allocated to the continent. With the goal of enhancing economic relationships, Indonesia's efforts in Africa are poised to create lasting impacts and opportunities for mutual growth. #Africa #Indonesia #Partnerships #DevelopmentAid #TradeRelations

🇵🇹🤝🇸🇦 I'm pleased to share a key update from the Federation of Saudi Chambers of Commerce on my recent meeting in Riyadh with Mr. Alwalid Albaltan, the new President of the Saudi-Portuguese Business Council. Representing the Arab-Portuguese Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCIAP), we discussed several strategic initiatives to strengthen trade and investment ties between Saudi Arabia and Portugal. Since our initial meeting, Mr. Alwalid and I have held additional working sessions to advance these goals, which include organizing a workshop for Portuguese companies on investment mechanisms in Saudi Arabia, planning a visit by Mr. Alwalid to Portugal to engage directly with Portuguese businesses, and establishing a shared investor database. The Federation’s recognition of our efforts underscores the importance of this collaboration, and I look forward to seeing our work contribute to a robust Saudi-Portuguese partnership. | #Information | #Counseling | #Support | Globser Group
