00:30Our discussions have covered issues of trade and investments, of energy, and again on behalf

00:43of Malaysia, I thank you for your support, particularly to Petronas and Yunson, the private

00:50company, and also our determination to enhance these bilateral relations has covered a number

00:57of issues, of course diplomatic training, research, and I mentioned that decades ago when I was

01:06at UNESCO, one of the countries that excited me was Brazil because you have placed so much

01:14importance in research and scientific research that can be a showcase for most of the newly

01:21emerging independent countries.

01:25We will of course explore this in the fields of semiconductor which we have some expertise

01:33to share with your expertise and issue of food technology which you have better, for example,

01:44experience and higher skills which we can certainly share.

01:52My dear brother, friend, President Lula, that this is not a normal, ordinary diplomatic encounter.

02:04This is an encounter, engagement between friends who share common conviction and ideals.

02:13And let us make sure that our two countries and two regions, Latin America, ASEAN, and Asia,

02:21will work together and we become one of the key pillars in ensuring that bilateral relations

02:30extend beyond trade investments, politics, and culture.

02:37I want to say that you, my dear friend, Anuari Barry, I consider you as my friend.

02:46For your past, for your struggle and for your tenacity to face adversity.

02:53I think that the meeting was so important for our ministers.

02:58I think there is such a confluence between our thoughts

03:04that just now we make our people work with a lot of effort

03:10so that we can happen in the next few years

03:13what happened in many other years.

03:16Because it's possible that Maladia and Brazil

03:19have a fund commercial of just 6 billion.

03:23It's possible.

03:24Something is wrong in our behavior,

03:27something is wrong in our government,

03:29something is wrong in our empresarios,

03:32something is wrong.

03:34Because we need to be aware

03:37that one of the problems that the world has today

03:41is the absence of leaders.

03:43And in absence of leaders,

03:45everything that is worse can happen.

03:48So, my dear colleagues,

03:51ministers of Maladia and ministers of Brazil,

03:54we are going to leave here with a mission.

03:57And our mission is very responsible.

04:00We need the Maladia and the Maladia needs the Brazil.

04:06And who has to take care of this is us.

04:09So, we have to gather our concerns.

04:11Saber o que nós temos de similaridade.

04:16O que a Maladia pode vender para o Brasil.

04:19O que a Maladia pode transferir de tecnologia para o Brasil.

04:23Eu quero terminar dizendo ao meu amigo,

04:27primeiro-ministro Ibrahim,

04:29esteja certo de que essa viagem minha à Maladia

04:33e esse carinho com que você está nos convidando para a ASEAN

04:37mudará a história da relação Brasil e Maladia.

04:43Muito obrigado.

04:44Aplausos.

04:45Aplausos.

04:46Aplausos.

04:47Aplausos.

04:48Aplausos.
