Malaysia’s Brics partnership broadens trade ties while keeping ‘middle path’, says J-KOM

Malaysia's involvement as a partner in Brics broadens its trade opportunities with nations representing over half the world's population and purchasing power, fostering balanced trade relations without aligning with major global powers.

At the 18th Brics Leaders' Summit in New Delhi, Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim is set to emphasize strengthening cooperation among Brics nations to tackle development challenges and broaden economic prospects inclusively.

Addressing social media skepticism regarding Anwar's absence from a group photo, J-KOM director-general Mohd Hisyamuddin Ghazali stated that Malaysia's role remains significant.

Concurrently, J-KOM, JAPEN, and NADI aim to enhance government information dissemination and feedback collection at the grassroots level.

GOPENG, Sept 13 — Malaysia’s participation as a Brics partner opens up wider trade opportunities with member countries that collectively represent more than half of the world’s population and purchasing power.

Community Communications Department (J-KOM) director-general Mohd Hisyamuddin Ghazali said the participation allows Malaysia to adopt a ‘middle path’ without having to depend on or align itself with any major global power.

“With Brics, we can balance our trade with various other countries. As a small country, taking the middle path is a very good decision.

“In addition, the people of Brics member countries represent more than half of the world’s population and have high purchasing power, so it would be a great loss if Malaysia did not join this grouping,” he said.

He said this at a press conference after attending the Madani Kita Programme (PMK) with the Simpang Pulai @ Gopeng community at the Rapat Setia Community Hall here today.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim is scheduled to deliver a National Statement on Shaping the Future for Inclusive Global Growth at the 18th Brics Leaders’ Summit in New Delhi, India, today.

The Prime Minister is expected to emphasise the importance of strengthening cooperation among Brics member and partner countries in addressing development challenges, expanding economic opportunities and ensuring that the benefits of technological advancement and innovation are enjoyed more inclusively by all countries.

Commenting on negative perceptions on social media regarding Anwar’s absence from the group photograph with the 11 heads of state attending the conference, Mohd Hisyamuddin said this did not in any way affect Malaysia’s role or official recognition.

“The 11 Brics member countries are official members. Malaysia, as a Brics partner, remains directly involved in the trade sector. This is an opportunity for us to establish close ties directly with Russian President Vladimir Putin, the President of Iran, as well as leaders from Brazil and South Africa,” he said.

Meanwhile, in another development, he said J-KOM, the Information Department (JAPEN) and the National Information Dissemination Centre (NADI) would work together strategically to strengthen the delivery of government information and policies directly to grassroots communities.

He said the collaboration would create more effective and comprehensive synergies in information dissemination to ensure that every government initiative and policy is optimally understood by the people.

“We deliver information and, at the same time, we gather feedback from the grassroots. This approach ensures that the issues addressed are truly targeted, based on findings obtained directly from the grassroots,” he added. — Bernama

马来西亚作为金砖国家伙伴参与其中，拓宽了与代表世界一半以上人口和购买力的国家的贸易机会，促进了平衡的贸易关系，而无需与主要全球大国结盟。

在新德里举行的第十八届金砖国家领导人峰会上，巴基斯坦总理安瓦尔·易卜拉欣将强调加强金砖国家之间的合作，以应对发展挑战，并包容性地扩大​​经济前景。

针对社交媒体上对安华缺席集体合影的质疑，J-KOM总监莫哈末·希沙姆丁·加扎利表示，马来西亚的作用依然十分重要。

与此同时，J-KOM、JAPEN 和 NADI 的目标是加强基层政府信息传播和反馈收集。

古朋，9 月 13 日讯——马来西亚作为金砖国家伙伴的参与，为与成员国开展更广泛的贸易往来开辟了道路，这些成员国的人口和购买力加起来超过了世界人口的一半。

社区通讯部（J-KOM）总监莫哈末·希沙姆丁·加扎利表示，参与此次会议使马来西亚能够采取“中间道路”，而无需依赖或与任何主要全球大国结盟。

“通过金砖国家，我们可以平衡与其他国家之间的贸易。作为一个小国，采取中间路线是一个非常明智的决定。”

“此外，金砖国家成员国的人民占世界人口的一半以上，拥有很高的购买力，因此，如果马来西亚不加入这个集团，将是一个巨大的损失，”他说。

他今天在拉帕塞蒂亚社区礼堂与新邦波莱@务边社区一起参加了Madani Kita Programme (PMK)活动后，在新闻发布会上发表了上述讲话。

马来西亚总理拿督斯里安华·易卜拉欣将于今日在印度新德里举行的第十八届金砖国家领导人峰会上发表关于塑造包容性全球增长未来的国家声明。

预计总理将强调加强金砖国家成员国和伙伴国之间合作的重要性，以应对发展挑战，扩大经济机遇，并确保所有国家都能更广泛地享受技术进步和创新带来的益处。

针对社交媒体上对安华缺席与出席会议的11位国家元首的合影一事产生的负面看法，莫哈末·希沙穆丁表示，这丝毫不影响马来西亚在会议上的作用或官方认可。

“金砖11个成员国都是正式成员。马来西亚作为金砖伙伴，继续直接参与贸易领域。这为我们提供了一个与俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京、伊朗总统以及巴西和南非领导人直接建立密切联系的机会，”他说道。

与此同时，他还表示，J-KOM、信息部（JAPEN）和国家信息传播中心（NADI）将进行战略合作，以加强政府信息和政策直接向基层社区的传递。

他表示，此次合作将在信息传播方面产生更有效、更全面的协同效应，以确保政府的每一项举措和政策都能被人民充分理解。

“我们传递信息的同时，也收集基层民众的反馈。这种方法确保所解决的问题真正具有针对性，并且是基于直接从基层获得的信息，”他补充道。——马新社
