The Madani Research Centre (MRC) views this development as Malaysia’s opportunity to institutionalize a new choreography of global engagement. In the words of MRC CEO Mr. Azmi Mat Nayan: “The future belongs not to the loudest, but to those who can convene, cooperate, and cohere.” MRC anticipates that Malaysia’s approach-grounded in MADANI values-will not only reinforce ASEAN’s growth story and manage intra-regional challenges, but also set a template for principled, values-driven multilateralism in a contested world.
