PUTRAJAYA: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak will lead Malaysia's delegation to the 2nd Asia Cooperation Dialogue (ACD) Summit, which will be held in Bangkok, Thailand, from Oct 9 to 10. The leaders were also expected to adopt three outcome documents, namely, the ACD Vision for Asia Cooperation 2030, the Bangkok Declaration of the 2nd ACD Summit, and the ACD Statement on Reigniting Growth through Partnerships for Connectivity. As co-prime mover, Malaysia had established the Asia-e-University in Kuala Lumpur in 2007, which serves to facilitate regional cooperation among member states, especially in the realm of e-education. "The prime minister's participation at the summit reflected Malaysia's continued commitment to strengthen the ACD as an effective pan-Asian regional forum," it added. The ACD comprises 34 member states from all five sub-regions of Asia.
