The National Resilience College proudly convened Panel Discussion Series 2 featuring Ambassador Zamshari Shaharan (Under-Secretary, Department of Communication & Public Diplomacy), Brigadier General Ts Haji Roslan Mat Saad (NRC Course Member) and Dato’ Agus Salim bin Yusof (Director, Institute of Diplomacy and Foreign Relations), moderated by Assoc. Prof. Dr Radziah Abdul Rahim, to unpack “Malaysia’s Middle Power Status: Assessing Malaysia’s Public Diplomacy in Achieving National Interest.” Their lively exchange underscored how deft public-diplomacy tools—strategic messaging, people-to-people outreach, and multilateral engagement—can amplify Malaysia’s voice on regional security, economic resilience and humanitarian leadership, ensuring that our middle-power ambitions translate into tangible gains for the nation and its ASEAN partners.
