LABUAN BAJO - Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong will attend the 42nd Asean summit from Wednesday to Thursday.

PMO said Indonesia’s chairmanship theme “Asean Matters: Epicentrum of Growth” underlines a substantive and forward-looking agenda, especially in areas such as economic integration and community-building efforts to ensure Asean’s unity and growth. “The leaders will also discuss the geopolitical situation, with the view to maintain Asean’s central role in an open, inclusive and stable regional architecture,” said PMO.

In April 2021, Asean drew up a five-point consensus peace plan with Myanmar, but there has been little progress in restoring peace. Violence following the coup has killed thousands.
