While stating that Malaysia remains politically stable, Johari stressed the need for greater engagement with the youth.
He said every year there will be 400,000 new voters and the younger generation is well-informed about what is happening in the world.
Johari also told the gathering about his engagements during the July 16-19 India visit.
Highlighting the potential to grow Malaysia-India economic relations, Johari said "after China, the next country Malaysia should look at is India."
