00:00Today, Southeast Asian leaders adopted a renewed Kuala Lumpur Declaration on the ASEAN Community
00:07Vision 2045. Known as ASEAN 2045, our shared future, the declaration is a roadmap that lays
00:14out the bloc's vision for the next two decades in the face of growing global trade uncertainty
00:19and intensifying geopolitical tensions. But today, the international order is unsettled.
00:25Geopolitical tensions, economic fragmentation, climate and technological disruption are testing
00:31the bonds between nations. Yet, these same technologies carry risks. Left unmanaged, they
00:38may deepen inequality, displace livelihoods, and outpace our roots. We must not only embrace
00:46innovation, we must learn to govern it together and with care. Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim also
00:54said the new vision is a shared blueprint that is anchored in realism, animated by resolve,
00:59and made possible by trust.
01:01And as we turn this page, we renew our promise to our peoples, to our region, and to the generations
01:10yet to rise. Let us move forward with clarity in our vision, steadiness in our purpose, and
01:17unity in our will to build the ASEAN we owe to future generations.
01:25The original KL declaration, signed in 2015 during Malaysia's previous chairmanship, had laid the
01:31foundation for the ASEAN Community Vision 2025.
