This Plan of Action guides implementation of the goals and objectives of the Joint Declaration on ASEAN-Canada Enhanced Partnership, adopted by the ASEAN Post Ministerial Conference (PMC+1) with Canada on 22 July 2009, with a focus on areas where ASEAN and Canada have expertise and mutual interests.
Â
Building on a longstanding dialogue partnership and to continue the progress made under the previous Plan of Action (2016-2020), ASEAN and Canada, through this Plan of Action, are committed to further deepen and continue close consultations on widening the scope of their relations through ASEAN-led mechanisms and 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, peoplecentred and rules-based ASEAN, including by narrowing the development gap and enhancing ASEAN Connectivity.
