This Plan of Action (POA) guides implementation of the goals and objectives of the ASEAN-United States Strategic Partnership, taking into account the Joint Statement on the ASEAN-U.S. Strategic Partnership and the relevant Joint Statements of the ASEANU.S. Summits.
Building on a longstanding dialogue partnership since 1977 and to continue the achievements made under the previous Plan of Action (2016-2020), ASEAN and the United States, through this POA, are committed to further deepen relations in all pillars of cooperation. Both sides will also continue to support ASEAN integration as well as its efforts in realising the ASEAN 2025: Forging Ahead Together for a politically cohesive, economically integrated, socially responsible, and a truly people-oriented, people-centred and rules-based ASEAN, including by narrowing the development gap, enhancing ASEAN Connectivity and enhancing the United States’ engagement with ASEAN in various existing fora and mechanisms.
