The ASEAN Secretary-General attended the "Malaysia Truly Asia: Malaysian Flavours" programme, held to celebrate culinary diplomacy. The programme highlighted the richness of Malaysia's traditional food as part of efforts to promote the country's culture and tourism.
During the programme, a variety of Malaysian dishes was served to guests, including representatives from ASEAN member states and other stakeholders. Food was seen as an effective way to strengthen ties between nations and communities, as each dish reflects Malaysia's history and ethnic diversity.
Culinary diplomacy is increasingly being given attention by many countries as a tool for introducing cultural identity to the world. Through food, participants can gain a deeper understanding of the values, traditions, and way of life of local communities.
Programmes like this are expected to further strengthen regional cooperation and help raise awareness of the cultural richness of ASEAN. They also provide an opportunity to promote Malaysia's food industry and tourism on the international stage.
