Three milestones at the 46th ASEAN Summit and related conferences

The 46th ASEAN Summit and related conferences in Malaysia have just concluded with many memorable milestones.

The first milestone was the signing of the Kuala Lumpur Declaration on “ASEAN 2045: Our Common Future” by ASEAN leaders and the adoption of the ASEAN Community Vision 2045 and four strategies on politics -security, economics, culture-society and connectivity, demonstrating ASEAN’s proactive leading role in shaping the future of the region, arousing ASEAN’s aspirations for development and strong growth for peace, security, stability and common prosperity.

The second historic milestone is the ASEAN countries' agreement to admit Timor Leste as the 11th member of ASEAN next October.

The third highlight of these conferences is that ASEAN actively promotes connectivity beyond the region by organizing the ASEAN-Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Summit and the ASEAN-GCC-China Summit, opening up new opportunities for diversifying partners, markets and supply chains, creating momentum for stronger inter-regional cooperation in the future./.
