Malaysia Fully Backs the Philippines to Lead ASEAN in 2026, Pledging to Build on Malaysia’s 2025 Chairmanship and ASEAN’s Long-Term Vision 2045

Malaysia pledged full support for the Philippines’ ASEAN 2026 chairmanship during the ASEAN Foreign Ministers’ Retreat in Cebu on January 29, 2026, affirming confidence in Manila’s leadership under “Navigating Our Future, Together.” Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan hailed 88 successes from Malaysia’s 2025 tenure across security, economy, and culture pillars, urging translation into Vision 2045 actions for sustainable, inclusive growth. There are no conflicts of priorities: digitalization, intra-ASEAN trade, SME support, South China Sea COC by July 2026, Myanmar concerns, and Gaza condemnations. The bilateral encounters strengthened collaboration, which guaranteed a smooth transition of ASEAN centrality in times of geopolitical tensions.

Vision 2045 Momentum Builds
