Kuala Lumpur (IINA) – Indonesia confirmed its commitment to ensure Malaysia's success in leading the ASEAN regional group this year.

This commitment was expressed by Herman Prayitno, Indonesian Ambassador to Malaysia, who said that it included efforts to accelerating the integration of the ASEAN 10-member countries with nearly 625 million people.

“We will help to ensure Malaysia's success in leading ASEAN in 2015. We will participate actively and support the agenda drawn up by Malaysia,” Herman said in a special interview with BERNAMA at the Indonesian Embassy here recently.

He said for now, the connectivity aspect must be given more attention so that the desire to build an ASEAN Economic Community would materialize and benefit the people.

Malaysia took over from Myanmar as ASEAN Chairman at a crucial time when the establishment of the ASEAN Community is expected to become a reality by the end of 2015.
