Pahang Offers Rich Cultural Experience To AIPA Delegation
GENERAL PEKAN, June 11 (Bernama) -- Pahang's unique culture, handicrafts and culinary offerings emerged as key highlights for the ASEAN Inter-Parliamentary Assembly (AIPA) delegation during their four-day visit here. Sharing her experience at the Tunku Azizah Royal Craft Village in Pulau Keladi, AIPA Secretary-General Siti Rozaimeriyanty Abdul Rahman said the intricate art of Tenun Pahang Diraja stood out for its uniqueness compared to weaving traditions in other countries in the region. 'We can see a variety of handicrafts here, and as for the weaving, I noticed distinct differences in the patterns compared to those in other ASEAN countries,' she told reporters here. The visit was organised by the Malaysian Parliament in collaboration with the Pahang government, in conjunction with the 8th Meeting of the AIPA Advisory Council on Dangerous Drugs (AIPACODD) 2025, held in Kuantan from June 9 to 12. Meanwhile, Siti Rozaimeriyanty also expressed her appreciation to the Malaysian Parliament and the Pahang government for holding the AIPACODD meeting outside the federal capital, which allowed delegates to gain exposure to the local culture. 'For many of us, this was our first time visiting areas outside of Kuala Lumpur, and for some, their first visit to Kuantan. ASEAN is about cultural understanding and exchange,' she said. Commenting on the AIPACODD meeting, Siti Rozaimeriyanty said it was successfully held and concluded with two draft consensus papers to be presented at the upcoming AIPA General Assembly scheduled for September. She said the meeting played a key role in supporting ASEAN's efforts to become a drug-free region and in achieving its aspiration of becoming the world's fourth-largest economy. --BERNAMA
