As such, bearing this year’s theme, ‘ASEAN Matters: Epicentrum of Growth,’ ASEAN Leaders will give focus on maintaining internal peace in Southeast Asia amid rising geopolitical tensions in the Indo-Pacific region while strengthening ASEAN to become a fast-growing, inclusive and sustainable economic region. On the sidelines of the 42nd ASEAN Summit, the President is set to participate in the 15th Brunei Darussalam-Indonesia-Malaysia-Philippines East ASEAN Growth Area (BIMP-EAGA) Summit with a goal of promoting economic development, strengthening connectivity and sustainably managing natural resources in the sub-region. President Marcos Jr. is also slated to hold bilateral meetings with Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, Prime Minister Sonexay Siphandone of the Lao People’s Democratic Republic and Prime Minister Taur Matan Ruak of Timor-Leste, who is joining the Summit as an observer for the first time.
