00:00How do you see the future of ASEAN?
00:02Our priority is for ASEAN to remain as a strong bloc.
00:08That is our priority.
00:10The centrality of ASEAN.
00:12Secondly, we are also discussing how we can improve trade between ASEAN countries.
00:21Because, as Mr. Rahmat said, the potential is great if we trade together.
00:28Because, as of today, our trade is only below 25% of ASEAN's.
00:34With a population of more than 600 million, almost 700 million,
00:40this is a strength for ASEAN.
00:43And that is why various things that we have seen,
00:50especially how we want to create a joint development area,
00:56we already have it with Siam or with Thailand, our joint development area.
01:01With Singapore, we have recently agreed to settle between the leaders of the two countries,
01:10establishing the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone,
01:14which will boost the economy of both countries and many more.
01:20And we want our inter-ASEAN trade to exceed 3 trillion in 2030.
01:29This is a challenge for us, but it is a necessity.
01:34Mr. Rahmat Larut, with all due respect.
01:36It is a necessity, because we cannot rely too much on one source of trade,
01:45and what happens will cause us to fall.
01:50We do not want that to happen.
01:52That is why we join BRICS, which will expand our market.
02:01And the existing market in ASEAN also needs to be expanded
02:05to further enhance our trade between ASEAN countries.
02:09We will have ASEAN Green, which means renewable energy and others.
02:14Indeed, that is the priority of ASEAN now.
