GYEONGJU: Malaysia will carry the momentum of its recently concluded Asean chairmanship into the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (Apec) Economic Leaders’ Meeting this week, with Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim expected to arrive in this historic city tomorrow.
Malaysia’s ambassador to South Korea, Zamruni Khalid, said Anwar’s participation in the Apec summit reflected a continuation of Malaysia’s regional leadership, coming just days after he chaired the 47th Asean Summit in Kuala Lumpur from Oct 26-28.
“With the successful Asean Summit behind us, the prime minister will continue that momentum into Apec,” he told a press conference ahead of Anwar’s arrival.
