He noted that President Prabowo will deliver remarks addressing pressing global and regional developments during the plenary session.
“This year’s summit will respond to the increasingly intense geopolitical rivalries, along with rising geo-economic competition in the region and beyond,” said Suryodipuro, commonly known as Arto.
In addition to geopolitical and economic issues, the ongoing humanitarian and political crisis in Myanmar will also be a key topic. President Prabowo is expected to highlight cross-border crimes such as drug trafficking, online fraud, illegal gambling, and human trafficking.

“One of the most urgent concerns is economic protectionism, particularly in the form of tariffs imposed by the United States,” Arto added.

With a forward-looking agenda, the 46th ASEAN Summit is set to be a critical moment for regional leaders, President Prabowo among them to chart a collective path in facing future global and regional challenges.[]
