27TH ASEAN SUMMIT AND RELATED SUMMITS 2015: "VOICES OF ASEAN WOMEN: EXPLORING BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES FOR RURAL WOMEN"
Tuesday 17/11/2015
Malaysia assumed the annual chairmanship of ASEAN beginning January 1, 2015 from Myanmar. Malaysia's vision is the creation of a 'People-Centred ASEAN’ involving all sectors of society.
As Chairman, Malaysia’s key focus is to ensure that the priority measures and initiatives for the ASEAN Community are in place and the integration process continues progressively beyond 2015. Besides leading ASEAN to achieve these goals in 2015, Malaysia also sees, as equally important, efforts to develop the ASEAN Community’s Post-2015 Vision as a guide for the community to further prosper and grow.
The 26th ASEAN Summit which concluded on the April 27, 2015 in Langkawi adopted three documents, namely the Kuala Lumpur Declaration on People-Oriented, People-Centred ASEAN, Langkawi Declaration on the Global Movement of Moderates and the Declaration on Institutionalising the Resilience of ASEAN and its Communities and Peoples to Disasters and Climate Change.
