00:00 And now we would like to invite His Excellency Mr. Chan to strike the gong three times as
00:07 a symbol of officiating the Ahmad 45 2023.
00:12 On the count of three.
00:15 One, two, three.
00:18 [Music]
00:32 Okay, so for the rice issue, it shouldn't be a big deal for today's program.
00:38 And today, my YB minister is at the Cabinet meeting.
00:43 So there is a discussion about the rice issue.
00:47 So if I want to comment here, I think it's premature.
00:51 So I think it's better to wait for YBM.
00:55 Is there any discussion about rice or security for ASEAN?
00:58 Maybe in the bilateral session, we will raise, for example,
01:04 we want to further expand the relationship between the two countries
01:08 so that it puts the priority for the rice export for the ASEAN member states.
01:16 But we will do it during the bilateral session.
01:20 It's not in general in ASEAN, because not all ASEAN countries have rice.
01:28 So I won't discuss with Singapore about rice.
01:31 So we don't have to do it on the ASEAN platform.
01:35 So we do it during the bilateral session, with Thailand, with Vietnam, etc.
01:41 So that's our way.
01:43 Will YB minister come?
01:44 YB minister will come, because he has to finish the Cabinet meeting first.
01:49 He will arrive here around 2pm.
01:56 That's about it.
01:58 Okay, that's all.
01:59 Thank you.
02:01 Thank you.
02:02 Thank you.
02:03 Thank you.
02:04 Thank you.
02:05 Thank you.
02:06 Thank you.
02:07 Thank you.
02:08 Thank you.
02:09 Thank you.
