2025 ASEAN Summit
The ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) summit is scheduled to be held in Kuala Lumpur from October 26 to 28 this year. In recent years, the Prime Minister has led Indian delegations to both the ASEAN-India Summit and the East Asia Summit.
India’s dialogue relations with ASEAN began in 1992 with a sectoral partnership. It was upgraded to a full dialogue partnership in December 1995 and further upgraded to the top level in 2002. In 2012, it was transformed into a strategic partnership.
The ten member countries of ASEAN include Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Brunei, Vietnam, Laos, Myanmar and Cambodia.
Meanwhile, Malaysia has invited Donald Trump along with leaders from several ASEAN dialogue partner countries. Trump is expected to be in Kuala Lumpur on October 26 for a two-day visit.
