President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. and his fellow leaders from the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and Dialogue Partners gather for the 17th East Asia Summit (EAS) in Phnom Penh, Cambodia on November 13, 2022.

The Chief Executive highlights the moral and legal responsibility to work towards finding resolutions rather than inciting conflicts as requisite for peaceful coexistence and friendly cooperation inscribed in the Treaty of Amity and Cooperation in Southeast Asia.

He reiterates the need for food self-sufficiency in the Region to increase resilience in the face of threats to the global supply chain, and calls on the EAS Partners to support the ASEAN Centre for Biodiversity geared towards climate action.

Areas of cooperation during the Summit include environment and energy, education, finance, global health issues and pandemic diseases, maritime, food security, economic cooperation and trade, national disaster management and connectivity within the ASEAN.

The East Asia Summit comprises 18 participating countries, namely the ASEAN Member States (Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Indonesia, Lao People’s Democratic Republic, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam), Australia, China, India, Japan, New Zealand, Republic of Korea, Russian Federation and United States of America.
