Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has urged ASEAN to reduce its reliance on fragmented national energy systems and vulnerable global supply chains, emphasizing the need for greater regional integration and self-reliance in food and medicine. Addressing the 49th ASEAN Summit, Anwar highlighted that regional energy demand is projected to increase more than fourfold by 2060, making the acceleration of the ASEAN Power Grid (APG) increasingly urgent.
He called for stronger cooperation in energy, food, and medicine security to protect the region's strategic interests and economic resilience, warning that recent global disruptions have exposed structural weaknesses caused by excessive dependence on limited sources of essential supplies.
