UK foreign secretary begins week-long SE Asia visit with first stop in Malaysia

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 7 — The United Kingdom’s Foreign Secretary Liz Truss arrived in Malaysia on Sunday to begin her week-long visit to the South-east Asia to deepen economic and security links with fast-growing and increasingly influential countries.

The Foreign Secretary also seek to build closer ties on infrastructure investment into the region and step-up work through the Clean Green Initiative to co-invest in reliable, sustainable infrastructure with friends and partners, it said. This will be Truss’ first visit to Malaysia and South-east Asia since being appointed the Foreign Secretary in Sept 2021.

“All three economies on the visit are projected to grow at a faster rate than the world’s largest economy, the US, out to 2050. Indonesian is forecast to more than quintuple its GDP by 532 per cent between 2020 and 2050 – with increases in Malaysia and Thailand of 393 per cent and 258 per cent respectively,” the statement said.

The Foreign Secretary will then travel to Thailand where she will meet Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-o-cha and Foreign Minister Don Pramudwinai to discuss deeper digital and tech investment and security collaboration.
