How can we enhance ASEAN collaboration with China? Ong Tee Keat, former Malaysian Federal Transport Minister says overcoming trust issues and turning our plans into reality is essential for the region's success. Together, we can achieve great things!
Ong Tee Keat: We want to encourage more interaction, more interaction between the civil societies, or even the trade associations, not (just) between the two countries.
Certainly, this will help in addressing the trust deficit which has been a sensitive issue when we nurture the kind of relationship between Malaysia and China, or between ASEAN and China.
And this is something which is more relevant when we are now facing such a new challenge that is none other than the wedge driving by powers from outside the region.
I hope to see end of the day, BRI implementation is not just confined to sheer economics.
It should be an all-dimensional model, all-dimensional platform that enables us to develop our countries.
ASEAN by itself, is a regional bloc well equipped with resources and competitive advantages.
We are not short of competitive advantages. But what remains challenging? It's none other than our commitment.
How good our commitment is to the efforts to implement our plans, our well-hatched plans in making the BRI projects or even some other projects viable, that remains the main challenge.
