As the Chair of ASEAN in 2025, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim is expected to amplify the 10-member bloc’s collective voice on the global stage during his attendance at the World Economic Forum (WEF) Annual Summit 2025 in Davos. Permanent Representative of Malaysia to the United Nations (UN) in Geneva, Datuk Nadzirah Osman said Anwar’s presence at WEF 2025, where he also serves as finance minister, holds significant potential to attract new trade and investment opportunities that align with Malaysia’s long-term economic goals. She emphasized that the prime minister’s involvement would further enhance the country’s profile and leadership in line with Asean-Malaysia’s Chairmanship for 2025. “The Prime Minister’s presence in Davos will highlight the priorities, initiatives, and challenges faced by Asean and the region, including shared issues such as climate change, renewable energy, digital transformation, and sustainable development. “This opens opportunities for strategic cooperation between Asean and the international community, including investment and technology financing opportunities for the region,” she said at a press conference ahead of the prime minister’s visit to WEF 2025. This marks the final leg of his working tour, which also included stops in Abu Dhabi (UAE) and London (UK).This will be Anwar’s first participation in WEF since assuming the role of prime minister. Among the high-profile programs Anwar will engage in is the “Country Strategy Dialogue” with global business leaders, where he will outline Malaysia’s strategic priorities in trade and investment and explore opportunities to fortify the country’s economic resilience.
