Key emphasis will be on the creation of an effective economic community,

and Malaysia will be more active in regional bodies such as the Economic

Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia (ERIA).

Wisma Putra will also contribute in enhancing the capacity of the Malaysian

Representative to the ASEAN Intergovernmental Commission on Human

Rights (AICHR). This will enable us to play a larger role at the regional level.

The Pakatan Harapan Administration will provide sound policy directions

that would empower Wisma Putra to produce talented diplomats who will

navigate Malaysia's international engagement effectively. We will be the

centre of admiration and respect of the international community.

The Government would also make efforts for Malaysians to be appointed as

senior officials at the ASEAN Secretariat in Jakarta as well as at the

Commonwealth Secretariat in London. This will be done during the first

term of the Pakatan Harapan Administration.

The Pakatan Harapan Government welcomes the rise of Asia as an emerging

power and will pursue a healthy diplomatic and economic relationship by

establishing good relations with all countries around the world based on

non-aligned principles.

At the same time, the Government will restore Malaysia's status as a non-

aligned state and position the country as an influential middle power.

In addition, our nation will be an active partner in ensuring success of

international programmes such as Sustainable Development Goal 2030

(SDG2030).
