JAKARTA - Asean chair Indonesia will outline a vision statement for 2045 to strengthen the grouping’s ability to work together and bolster its international relevance at the Asean Summit next week.
Indonesian Foreign Affairs Ministry spokesman Teuku Faizasyah said Asean leaders are expected to adopt the vision that Indonesia will put forward at the 42nd Asean Summit. Indonesia also said human trafficking will be one of the main issues discussed at the meetings, amid growing concern in Asean countries due to the rising number of cases in the region.
The summit will be accompanied by fringe events known as “people’s festivals”, which will include street carnivals, culinary bazaars, fashion shows and cultural performances, in a bid to boost Flores’ visibility as a tourism destination.
