At the meeting, ASEAN senior officials highly valued Vietnam’s initiative on orientations to develop ASEAN in the future. They also agreed on the importance of starting these development orientations and committed to working closely with Vietnam to outline the post-2025 ASEAN Community Vision.
They recommended that the post-2025 ASEAN Community Vision should be inclusive and have close links with cooperation contents in the three pillars of the ASEAN Community.
The Vietnamese senior official emphasized that the post-2025 ASEAN Community Vision should define the essence and nature of ASEAN. These are decisive factors that determine future ASEAN’s operation targets, principles, and protocols.
He added that with its development characteristics, ASEAN should pursue a progressive approach to promoting economic linkage as a foundation to determine the next linkage forms of the ASEAN Community.
