ASEAN Chair Presides Over 25th ASEAN Plus Three Summit

PHNOM PENH: Prime Minister Hun Sen, the 2022 ASEAN Chair, presided over the 25th ASEAN Plus Three Summit held at the Sokha Hotel, Phnom Penh, on Saturday morning, 12 November 2022.

The ASEAN Plus Three (APT), comprising of the 10 ASEAN member states, the People’s Republic of China, Japan and the Republic of Korea, is essential for maintaining economic and political stability and promoting prosperity in the region.

During the summit, the ASEAN Plus Three leaders were determined to collaborate closely across all sectors to address both regional and global challenges.

Since its inception in December 1997, the APT Cooperation has worked to promote East Asian Cooperation towards the long-term goal of building an East Asian Community, with ASEAN as the driving force.

The APT has become one of the most comprehensive cooperation frameworks in the region. The APT cooperation continues to be broadened and deepened in a wide range of areas, including political-security, trade and investment, finance, energy, tourism, agriculture and forestry, environment, education, health, culture and the arts. The APT also supports the implementation of the ASEAN Community Vision 2025.
