JAKARTA - Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim called for global order reform with justice for a more stable and inclusive world future.

"Malaysia believes that a more stable and inclusive future can only be built through a just global order that restores the supremacy of international law, upholds justice, and ensures the voices of global Southern countries have a proper place," he said.

This was conveyed by Anwar at an online discussion on the Global Town Hall 2025 held by the Foreign Policy Community of Indonesia (FPCI) on Saturday.

Anwar said that currently the world is at a critical point when the international order built in the previous century was increasingly overwhelmed in responding to various global crises.

The heated geopolitical conflict, climate change, widening economic inequality, and declining trust in multilateral institutions is referred to as a series of challenges that collectively weaken the foundations of peace and cooperation between countries.

According to him, a global system that is more representative and equal is an urgent need.

"With the same spirit, we continue to fight for a global system that is more representative and fair, which listens to the voices of small and developing countries. The entire region must be treated with dignity and respect, while dominance and double standard practice must be rejected," he said.

Anwar believes that global interdependent sovereignty must be enforced based on respect for true responsibilities and multilateralism that empowers, rather than being divided.

In this case, he said, ASEAN has a strategic role and must be an integral part of this transformation, adapting to reality with courage and belief.
