Malaysia’s multicultural society has been a mainstay of its international identity, whose mix of distinct but intertwined cultures serve as the foundation for the values of moderation, peace and harmony.
The nation’s historical and cultural heritage, however, offer more avenues to showcase and communicate the values that inform Malaysia’s foreign policy decisions, from its historical significance as a trade route to the cultures that Malaysia shares with its regional neighbours.
Malaysia’s efforts towards interreligious dialogue and its social policies are also aspects that will be promoted to ensure the world sees the country’s values of diversity, tolerance and respect, while not forgetting its rich throve of arts and food.
