Tengku Zafrul and his delegation arrived in Laos on Oct 6 to attend the 44th and 45th Asean Summits, as well as related meetings, which are running from Oct 8 to Oct 11. "We are bucking the trend, which is a positive sign. However, another issue is the possibility of tariffs being imposed to protect certain markets. This is why Asean must continue dialogues with other blocs, particularly through multilateral platforms like the World Trade Organisation,” he added.Meanwhile, Tengku Zafrul mentioned that the AEC’s Strategic Plan for 2026-2030, currently being developed, is expected to be presented in May 2025 when Malaysia assumes the Asean Chairmanship.
