Both nations agree to boost cooperation in digital economy, AI, and STEM as part of broader strategic partnership, says Anwar.
CEBU: Malaysia and Vietnam are committed to expanding cooperation in the digital economy and artificial intelligence (AI), as well as science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
Both nations also agreed to broaden cooperation in food security, renewable energy, and more sustainable and progressive financial governance following Anwar’s meeting with Vietnamese Prime Minister Le Minh Hung here today.
“Malaysia also welcomes the signing of various strategic initiatives, including a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on the digital economy, as well as the implementation of cross-border energy projects that can support regional growth,” said Anwar in a Facebook post today.
He said Malaysia and Vietnam will continue to strengthen their friendship, which is now driven by a comprehensive strategic partnership.
“ASEAN must continue to move forward as a platform for cooperation based on trust, sustainability and shared progress.
“In an increasingly challenging world, the strength of this region depends on our willingness to strengthen economic, educational, technological networks and collective well-being,” said Anwar.
The prime minister is leading the Malaysian delegation to the 48th ASEAN Summit and Related Meetings, here from May 7 to 8.
