This New Asia must be a contributing Asia, a continent that contributes not only to its constituents' advancement but to advancement of mankind as a whole...In order for all these to happen, for Asia to be worthy and to have the capability, there has to be a conscious Asia Renaissance, a rebirth that will remark Asia and reshape the world.'
