Tetamu-Tetamu Jemputan,

Rakan-Rakan Media, dan para hadirin yang saya kasihi sekalian,

Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.

1. Alhamdulillah, dengan izin dan limpah kurnia Allah S.W.T., kita dapat bersama-sama pada Majlis Berbuka Puasa MADANI, Tahun 2026, anjuran Kementerian Luar Negeri.

2. Ramadan sentiasa memberi kita ruang untuk memperlahankan langkah. Dalam kesibukan tugas dan tanggungjawab, bulan ini mengingatkan kita tentang niat, amanah, dan sebab sebenar kita berkhidmat.

3. Bagi warga Kementerian Luar Negeri, amanah itu unik sifatnya. Kita bekerja merentasi sempadan, zon masa, dan budaya.

4. Ada yang bertugas jauh dari keluarga, dan ada yang menguruskan isu, yang walaupun tidak menjadi tajuk utama dalam akhbar, sebenarnya amat berat kepentingannya kepada negara.

5. Berat kepentingannya, kerana diplomasi adalah tentang memelihara kepercayaan dunia terhadap negara Malaysia, dan membina persefahaman, antara warga Malaysia dan warga negara-negara lain.

6. Malam ini mencerminkan semangat itu.

Oleh itu, Yang Amat Berhormat Perdana Menteri dan hadirin sekalian,

7. Bagi menghormati sahabat-sahabat kita daripada kor diplomatik, izinkan saya meneruskan ucapan dalam Bahasa Inggeris.

Your Excellencies, Members of the Diplomatic Corps, Distinguished Guests, Ladies and Gentlemen,

8. Welcome to Wisma Putra, and thank you for joining us this evening.

9. Ramadan, for many of us, is a time of reflection. But it is also a time of togetherness, and a celebration of fellowship between people, from all walks of life.

10. Diplomacy, in many ways, is not so different, with the many efforts that we pour into building bridges between our peoples.

11. So let tonight ground us, in the knowledge that even in a complex and uncertain world, we can dine together, and choose dialogue over distance, and engagement over isolation.

Institutional Responsibility and Delivery

Distinguished Guests, Ladies and Gentlemen,

12. The conduct of foreign policy requires steadiness. It often takes place away from the public eye.

13. The global environment today is demanding. Developments move quickly. Issues are interconnected. The margin for misunderstanding is small. In such an environment, steadiness is the number one priority.

14. For Malaysia, as an open and trade-dependent nation, diplomacy must be structured and well-coordinated. It must be supported by capable institutions and clear processes.

15. These are the pillars of ensuring stability, so that businesses can trade, students can travel, families can feel secure, and nations can plan for the future with confidence.

Strategic Plan 2026-2030

Distinguished Guests, Ladies and Gentlemen,

16. This thinking guided us as we developed the Ministry's Strategic Plan, 2026-2030.

17. In times such as these, we must be ready to adapt to any change, at any moment. We cannot simply "stay the course", as "the course" no longer exists.

18. As intensifying rivalries, and a fragmenting global order, increasingly shrink our space to navigate uncertainty, Malaysia must remain forward-thinking.

19. Having said that, our foreign policy is upheld by several core values.

20. These have always guided us as we navigated the different phases of global history, since the birth of our nation. They will continue to inform our outlook.

21. The Ministry's new Strategic Plan reflects our ongoing commitment to improve. It is anchored in the Thirteenth Malaysia Plan, the MADANI Economy framework and the Public Service Reform Agenda (ARPA).

22. Diplomacy must open doors, for trade, investment, partnerships in innovation. technology, education, and

23. The Strategic Plan 2026-2030 therefore translates our national policies and priorities, into a clear programme of work for the Ministry.

24. The Plan reinforces our commitment to advancing Malaysia's economic priorities, deepening bilateral partnerships, and sustaining multilateral engagement.

Malaysia's ASEAN Chairmanship 2025

Distinguished Guests, Ladies and Gentlemen,

25. It is impossible to speak about Malaysia's foreign policy without mentioning ASEAN.

26. As a founding member of ASEAN, Malaysia has always believed that our region's strength lies in working together.

27. We are, furthermore, convinced that this region has a role to play, in establishing a global order that is peaceful and inclusive.

28. During our Chairmanship in 2025, the adoption of ASEAN 2045: Our Shared Future marked an important milestone.

29. But as we all know, documents do not implement themselves. Progress requires alignment, sustained political will, and follow-through across all three Community pillars.

30. Maintaining ASEAN Centrality required careful balance - engaging all partners, while remaining anchored in regional consensus.

31. The experience reinforced a simple lesson: cooperation endures, when engagement is steady and institutions remain disciplined.

32. These are lessons we carry forward, not only in ASEAN, but also in our Strategic Plan 2026-2030.

Closing and Invitation to YAB PM to Launch the Strategic Plan

Your Excellencies, Distinguished Guests, Ladies and Gentlemen,

33. Malaysia remains committed to constructive engagement, and mutually cooperation with all partners. respectful

34. We value the friendships we built, and will continue to nurture them with mutual respect and sincerity.

35. Kepada Yang Amat Berhormat Perdana Menteri, bagi pihak seluruh warga Kementerian Luar Negeri, saya merakamkan penghargaan, atas kepimpinan dan kepercayaan yang diberikan kepada kami untuk melaksanakan amanah ini.

36. With that, it is my honour to invite Yang Amat Berhormat Perdana Menteri to deliver his address, and to officiate the launch, of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' Strategic Plan 2026-2030.

Sekian,

Wabillahi Taufik Wal Hidayah,

Wassalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh,

dan Selamat Berbuka Puasa.
