As the 44th and 45th ASEAN Summits concluded in Vientiane, Laos, the mantle of ASEAN chairmanship was officially handed to Malaysia, which will lead the regional bloc in 2025. Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim announced Malaysia’s theme for its leadership term as "Inclusivity and Sustainability"—a reflection of the country's vision for shared, equitable development across Southeast Asia.
This theme underscores Malaysia's commitment to fostering regional progress that benefits all ASEAN members, ensuring that growth initiatives are sustainable and inclusive. It signifies an approach that prioritizes collaboration to bridge economic and social disparities, address environmental challenges, and build resilience within the region.
