Diplomatic Dynamics Series #3 | Deals, Diplomacy, and a Divided World: Europe & Malaysia at the Crossroads

In a world grappling with growing geopolitical divisions, Europe and Malaysia stand at a strategic crossroads. With free trade talks set to resume, Europe and Malaysia are stepping up economic and strategic cooperation against a backdrop of global instability. As Malaysia leads ASEAN in 2025, its growing partnership with the EU is critical for advancing open trade, regional resilience, and sustainable growth.
