00:49ASEAN is now being tested
00:52as a field of competition,
00:56avoiding competition in major powers,
01:00and we can establish a clear framework
01:05in the Five-Point Consensus on the Myanmar issue,
01:09and also free to solve the problem of the South China Sea
01:14in a frugal and lenient manner.
01:19What is interesting, as I said in the Parliament last week,
01:24is the increase in confidence in Malaysia
01:28for the first time in ASEAN,
01:30which is to host the ASEAN Summit,
01:33the GCC Arab countries,

01:43there are some of our commitments.
01:47Dozens of high-ranking meetings,
01:51hundreds of meetings of right-wing ministers and officials,
01:57all the gifts given
02:01must be from the hands of the locals,
02:06and nothing else.
