BEIJING: The commemorative Victory Parade held by China to mark 80 years since the end of World War II serves as a timely reminder that a nation’s sovereignty must always be defended and safeguarded.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said this is even more crucial in today’s geopolitical landscape, where turmoil persists and the international system is increasingly undermined.

He cited the genocide in Gaza, where the Israeli regime continues its atrocities against Palestinians with impunity.

“For me, the celebration is a reminder that a nation must be free, independent and sovereign. A country’s independence must be respected.

“Our experience of embracing peace and resolution after World War II, and how China rose against violence and colonialism, should serve as a lesson for today’s society, especially in our region,” he told Malaysian media at the end of his working visit to Beijing and Tianjin this week.

Anwar was among the foreign leaders invited by Chinese President Xi Jinping to attend the parade at Tiananmen Square yesterday morning.

On his participation in the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Plus Summit 2025 in the port city of Tianjin, Anwar said that although Malaysia is not a member of the SCO, he was invited by Xi, as the current Asean Chair, to attend as a special guest and share his views on global issues.

“So we took the opportunity to attend and share our views,” he said, Bernama reported.

Anwar said he also highlighted the United Nations’ failure to fulfil its mandate in resolving major crises, which has further eroded its global influence – a point acknowledged by UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, who participated in the meeting.

The Prime Minister added that he had met several world leaders on the sidelines of the summit.

Among them was Myanmar’s acting President Min Aung Hlaing, with whom he discussed and followed up on the country’s peace process ahead of Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan’s visit later this month.

His meetings with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Egyptian Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly, meanwhile, focused on the situation in Gaza amid Israel’s brutal aggression.

“I asked about the latest developments in Gaza. Many leaders who attended the summit also raised the issue of the ongoing atrocities in Gaza and the suffering of the Palestinian people there,” Anwar said.

He also met with his counterpart from Pakistan, Shehbaz Sharif, Cambodia’s Hun Manet and Nepal’s Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli to discuss boosting two-way trade and investment. 

Anwar departed for home yesterday afternoon after attending the Victory Parade and a banquet hosted by the Chinese President.

‘Build bridges over barriers’

 

Anwar: asian nations must be independent yet interdependent

TIANJIN: Asian nations should chart a path of sovereign interdependence to promote global stability, peace and resilience, says Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

He said Asia’s strength lies in preserving its sovereignty while staying open to one another.

He cautioned that while globalisation had produced discontent and inequalities, its flaws should not be used to justify exclusionary blocs or economic fortresses.

Such approaches, he warned, would only deepen divisions and risk leading to stagnation.

“Malaysia proposes a different path: the path of sovereign interdependence – the art of standing tall without standing apart.

“It is the conviction that nations can remain fully themselves – sovereign in choice, in voice and in destiny – while still being open to the flows of trade and investment, of talent and technology, on which prosperity depends,” he said in his public lecture at Tianjin University yesterday.

The Prime Minister stressed that independence and interdependence should be viewed as complementary rather than opposing concepts, Bernama reported.

“We must design interdependence that fortifies sovereignty rather than undermines it.

“Interdependence should not make nations fearful that their autonomy will be diluted. It should give them confidence that, by being connected, their resilience is multiplied,” he added.

He also cited the history of Chinese Admiral Zheng He’s voyages, which linked Melaka with Africa and Arabia centuries ago, bringing gifts and exchanges without conquest or subjugation.

Such traditions of openness, he said, reflected a distinctly Asian model of engagement.

Anwar said that Asia, as a community of diverse nations, bears a special responsibility in shaping the next chapter of the global order, as the region is now the engine of global growth, home to most of the world’s youth and the centre of dynamic technological advances.

“For too long, debates about the world economy have been framed in trans-atlantic terms.

“We are not merely the objects of other people’s strategies. We are the authors of our own destiny. We must resist the temptation to think that the world has no alternative but to splinter into blocs.

“Fragmentation is not destiny. We can choose cooperation over coercion, bridges over barriers. We can choose sovereign interdependence,” he said.

He said under Malaysia’s chairmanship, Asean has adopted inclusivity and sustainability as guiding themes.

China, Anwar added, also has a unique role as a civilisational power whose choices would shape the region’s openness, stability and inclusiveness.

“The region looks to Beijing not only for economic dynamism but also for confidence that Asia’s future will be open, stable and respectful of diversity,” he said.

At the same time, middle powers such as Malaysia have their own duty to act as bridges and remind major powers that restraint and reciprocity are the anchors of peace.

“Asia’s future will rest on steadiness – on the confidence to act without haste, and the patience to give every nation the space it needs to feel secure.

“If we hold fast to that spirit, Asia can move forward with dignity, assured of its place in the world,” he said.

The lecture, titled “Sovereign Interdependence: Building A Shared Future in Asia”, was part of Anwar’s engagement with university students and academics in conjunction with his four-day working visit to Tianjin and Beijing starting Aug 31.
