Malaysian leaders say that trade is being used to ‘separate’ the trade.
Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has warned against weakening countries, as Southeast Asian Minister has gathered to go to the peak in the backdrop of the threat of US President Donald Trump’s rate.
Speaking at the inauguration of the Annual Meeting of Foreign Ministers on Wednesday, Anwar said that the power was always defining the business while shaping the trade.
“Once the world, the tools used once to grow growth, are now different and included. The barriers to rates, export restrictions and investment have now become a sharp tool of geographical -political competitors,” Anwar said without clearly named Trump.
“This is no storm. This is the new weather of our time.”
Anwar reacted to Malaysia for a tour of Asia as the top diplomat of Washington, US Secretary of State for Washington.
During his visit, the Rubio East Asia Summit will be present at several Asian events, including non-scenes such as China, India, Japan and South Korea.
In the face of China’s growing influence, US officials have cast Rubio’s trip as a chance to emphasize the “one -free, free and safe” Asia Pacific commitment, while regional authorities are likely to focus on trade more.
Malaysia is one of the six Southeast Asian countries until the Trump administration can reach the trade agreement with the Trump administration on August 1st.
Under Trump’s latest rate plansThe recovery of 90-day recovery on Wednesday was extended, and exports from 3 countries countries, including Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Myanmar, will be subject to 25-40 percent duty.
Vietnam is the only country to seal the trade agreement with Trump.
Appealing to the region to cope with “clarity and determination” of the world landscape, Anwar said that ASEAN should coordinate the foreign and economic policy more closely.
“And when we navigate the external pressure, we need to strengthen our internal foundation. Trade more among themselves, invest more in each other and increase integration in areas with concept,” Anwar said.
“Creating a strong, more connected Asian economy is a strategic essential that will anchor your relevance and flexibility for the next decade.”
Southeast Asian countries can also reject the idea that the world can be ruined in the field of influence “or decisions that affect the region can be taken elsewhere, Anwar said.
He said, “We are a region that is deliberately, consistent and intended to chart our own curriculum. Asian will not be spoken in the absence,” he said.
