Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim delivers his keynote address at the opening ceremony of the 58th ASEAN Foreign Ministers' Meeting (AMM) and related meetings at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre today. - Bernama KUALA LUMPUR: Asean foreign ministers and economic ministers must work closely together in facing new challenges brought about in a changing international geopolitical and economic landscape in the world, says Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. The Prime Minister said that Asean is now being confronted with a new reality, where trade barriers such as tariffs are used as an instrument for geopolitical rivalry. 'I, therefore, urge even closer alignment between Asean's foreign and economic policy tracks. 'Our foreign and economic ministers must move in concert in facing challenges,' said Anwar during his opening remarks around the 58th Asean Foreign Ministers (AMM) meeting here on Wednesday (July 9). Anwar also said trade barriers are now being used to pressure and isolate certain countries. 'Across the world, tools once used to generate growth are now wielded to pressure, isolate and contain. 'Tariffs, exports, restrictions and investment barriers have now become the sharpened instruments of geopolitical rivalry,' said Anwar. Anwar touched down in Kuala Lumpur at 3am today after returning from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil following a week-long tour that covered Italy and France. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio is scheduled to attend the AMM after arriving in KL on Thursday (July 10) morning.

HK's Henderson Land to raise US$1bil via bond issue
KUALA LUMPUR: Hong Kong-listed property developer Henderson Land Development said on Tuesday it intends to raise HK$8.00 billion (US$1.02 billion) via its issuance of guaranteed corporate bonds. The firm said it intends to use net proceeds of the raised amount for general corporate purposes and refinancing. The company added that the raising would "diversify the funding sources of the group" for its ongoing business development. Henderson Land had proposed the issuance of the bonds earlier in the day in a separate statement, but did not mention the amount to be raised at the time. The net proceeds from the issue of the bonds will be around HK$7.92 billion, the firm said. The property developer said an application for the bonds to be listed on the Vienna MTF operated by the Vienna Stock Exchange or other internationally recognised stock exchanges will be made by the firm, along with another application for a listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. The company was founded by Hong Kong property magnate Lee Shau Kee, , one of the city's richest men, who passed away in late March at the age of 97.
