Deals, Diplomacy, and a Divided World: Europe & Malaysia at the Crossroads
In the third edition of ASLI’s Diplomatic Dynamics Series, we had the honour of hosting H.E. Rafael Daerr, Ambassador of the European Union to Malaysia, for a timely and wide-ranging dialogue on diplomacy, trade, and sustainability.
Held just a day after Europe Day, the discussion explored the significance of EU unity in today’s shifting global landscape. Key themes included the evolving EU–Malaysia Free Trade Agreement, climate and green finance collaboration, and regional cooperation ahead of Malaysia’s ASEAN Chairmanship in 2025.
Participants also reflected on Malaysia’s growing role as a bridge between East and West, and how shared values continue to anchor EU–Malaysia relations amidst geopolitical uncertainty.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us at Liberal Lattè for this insightful session. Stay tuned as we continue to deepen conversations on diplomacy and leadership in a changing world.
Empowering Leaders, Advancing Societies.
