ASEAN strategic autonomy and 2045 vision

Overview

ASEAN leadership has emphasized a commitment to strategic autonomy and long-term community building. Secretary-General Kao Kim Hourn stated that the association intends to strengthen internal mechanisms to prevent outside power structures from defining the organization’s course, while maintaining active relations with regional and international partners.

This focus on autonomy is being integrated into the ASEAN Community Vision 2045 framework. During a seminar in Ho Chi Minh City, experts discussed transforming regional friendship into concrete cooperation, noting that the vision—slated for adoption in Kuala Lumpur in 2025—aims to create a resilient and people-centered community. Discussions highlighted that regional strength should be measured by trust and connection between citizens, utilizing culture and people-to-people diplomacy as strategic resources to build consensus.
