"We are going to face the next general election, when is it we do not know, but from what I have heard this party meeting (Umno general assembly) will certainly address important issues to ensure we (Barisan Nasional) will be in power," he said in his speech when hosting an International Forum on Creation of a Global Citizen dinner reception Monday night.
The two-day forum, officiated by Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin on Monday was attended by 63 representatives from 22 political parties from 22 countries, the Overseas Umno Club (KULN), foreign embassy delegations and political analysts.
The forum was held in conjunction with the 2010 Umno General Assembly which will begin Tuesday.
Abdullah in his speech also said that he believed that Umno leaders had the determination to make the changes despite all the difficulties and challenges.
"If we want to reform, the party too must reform, this is going to be difficult and challenging task for the leaders of the party but I believe that they have the determination to make the changes which are necessary.
"We are now facing the world which is a new reality, a world that is becoming smaller, the world that certainly full with problems and challenges, we know what is happening all over the world because the communication, internet...this is a new world," he said.
