JAKARTA: The 43rd Asean Summit began on Tuesday (Sept 5) with Indonesian President Joko Widodo calling for greater unity among members amid the Myanmar crisis and heightened tensions in the South China Sea over China's new map.
In his opening speech, the Indonesian president, who is popularly known as Jokowi, stressed that Asean unity was still very much strong and intact."As a country with diverse ethnicities, cultures, languages, and religions, for Indonesia, unity is harmony in diversity, including differences of opinions.
The meeting comes amid heightened tensions in the South China Sea, after China released a new map laying claims over large swathes disputed by some Asean members, triggering protests including from Malaysia. Anwar is leading the Malaysian delegation to the Asean Summit and related summits, being held from today until Thursday under Indonesia’s Asean Chairmanship with the theme “Asean Matters: Epicentrum of Growth”.
The conference today will be divided into two sessions. The first session will be using the plenary format and the second a retreat format.
