Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad delivers his keynote address after receiving the Doha Forum Award by the Emir of Qatar, in Doha today. - Bernama: Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad said it is important for all countries to work together and learn from each other on issues that could affect the way they approach the world.
“We live in a multipolar world, in which there should be no hegemonic nation but interconnected relationships that go in multiple directions. In other words, it could be described as an integration of diversity and creativity among cultures, nations and economies in the world,” he said.Dr Mahathir said all countries must acknowledge that isolationism is now impossible and advances in communications have made us all next-door neighbours with porous borders.
“Today’s world is confronted with increased concerns over the sustainability of global economic growth in the face of rising financial, political, social and environmental challenges. In Southeast Asia, 10 countries decided to work as a group. The net result is stability and prosperity,” he added. Dr Mahathir said Malaysia is a friendly nation and wants to be friends with everyone and the enemy of none, with one obvious exception.
“I wish to reiterate my address at the recent United Nations General Assembly on this issue. If we want to have sanctions, let us have a law to govern them,” Dr Mahathir added. “Conflicts over trade will occur. But their resolutions must be through negotiations, arbitration or through a court of law consented to by countries concerned. In all conflicts there must be a willingness to give up something in order to get something,” he said.
