Speech By Anwar Ibrahim at The London School of Economics. (17.1.25)

As the global landscape continues to evolve, it is imperative for Malaysia to embrace adaptability, resilience, principled leadership, and clear vision. I had the honor of addressing these themes during my lecture at the London School of Economics titled “The Adaptive Edge: Malaysia’s Global Strategy in an Uncertain Era.” Malaysia remains committed to fostering inclusive and sustainable peace and security, both in our region and internationally. We prioritize shared growth, regional cooperation, and an openness to trade and development. For governance to be truly effective, it is crucial that we invest our national resources in human capital, particularly in the areas of education, housing, and healthcare. During my visit, I had the privilege of inaugurating the Malaysia Auditorium at LSE, a remarkable 460-seat venue made possible through the generous support of the Alumni Society of Malaysia.
