Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan emphasized the critical role of middle powers like Malaysia and regional organizations such as ASEAN in influencing global decisions and maintaining dialogue when major powers are at an impasse.
Speaking at the 81st UN General Assembly, he stressed that most countries at the UN are not dominant powers, yet their contributions are crucial in shaping global outcomes.
He advocated for a proactive approach in governance and multilateralism to rebuild international trust and ensure that regional voices are heard in global debates.
Mohamad reaffirmed Malaysia's commitment to supporting multilateralism and the United Nations.
NEW YORK, Sept 27 — Middle powers such as Malaysia and regional organisations such as Asean have an important role in shaping global decisions and keeping dialogue alive when major powers cannot agree, Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan said.
He said most countries represented at the United Nations (UN) were not great powers, yet decisions taken by a few could shape the future of all.
“We are the global majority. As I said earlier, we must not simply live with the consequences of choices made elsewhere. We must help shape those choices,” he said in his national statement at the General Debate of the 81st UN General Assembly (UNGA) here on Saturday.
Mohamad said middle powers such as Malaysia could help keep dialogue alive when major powers could not reach an agreement.
He also said regional organisations such as Asean could bring the perspectives of their people into global debates.
“We must have the confidence to speak for our regions, not be spoken for,” he said.
Mohamad said the international community needed to rebuild trust in the power of proactive governance and multilateralism amid growing global uncertainty.
He said Malaysia would not turn away from the UN in its hour of difficulty or abandon multilateralism because it was imperfect.
“We will do the work to make it worthy of the trust placed in it,” he said.
Asean, or the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, is a regional intergovernmental organisation established in 1967 to promote peace, stability and economic growth, and to strengthen cooperation among countries in Southeast Asia.
It comprises 11 member states: Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam and the recently joined Timor-Leste.

外交部长拿督斯里莫哈末哈山强调，像马来西亚这样的中等强国和像东盟这样的区域组织在影响全球决策和在大国陷入僵局时维持对话方面发挥着关键作用。
在第81届联合国大会上，他强调，联合国的大多数成员国都不是主导力量，但它们的贡献对于塑造全球结果至关重要。
他主张在治理和多边主义方面采取积极主动的方式，以重建国际信任，并确保区域声音在全球辩论中得到倾听。
穆罕默德重申马来西亚致力于支持多边主义和联合国。
纽约，9月27日——外交部长拿督斯里穆罕默德·哈山表示，马来西亚等中等强国和东盟等区域组织在塑造全球决策和在大国无法达成一致时保持对话方面发挥着重要作用。
他说，联合国的大多数成员国都不是大国，但少数国家做出的决定却能塑造所有人的未来。
“我们是全球大多数。正如我之前所说，我们不能仅仅承受其他地方所做选择的后果。我们必须参与塑造这些选择，”他在周六于此举行的第81届联合国大会一般性辩论上发表的国情声明中说道。
穆罕默德表示，像马来西亚这样的中等强国可以在大国无法达成协议时帮助维持对话。
他还表示，东盟等区域组织可以将本国人民的观点带入全球讨论中。
他说：“我们必须有信心代表我们所在的地区发声，而不是被别人代表。”
穆罕默德表示，在全球不确定性日益加剧的背景下，国际社会需要重建对积极治理和多边主义力量的信任。
他表示，马来西亚不会在联合国面临困难时背弃联合国，也不会因为多边主义不完美而放弃多边主义。
他说：“我们将努力工作，使其不辜负人们对它的信任。”
东盟，即东南亚国家联盟，是一个成立于1967年的区域性政府间组织，旨在促进东南亚各国之间的和平、稳定和经济增长，并加强彼此间的合作。
它由 11 个成员国组成：文莱、柬埔寨、印度尼西亚、老挝、马来西亚、缅甸、菲律宾、新加坡、泰国、越南和最近加入的东帝汶。
