The ASEAN Foundation inaugurated the ASEAN Foundation Model ASEAN Meeting (or AFMAM) in 2015, held in conjunction with the 27th ASEAN Summit in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Since then, the ASEAN Foundation has implemented the programme annually (2016-2019) in ASEAN Chair countries. However, due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, the 6th and 7th AFMAM were organised virtually.
In celebration of the momentous 50th Year of ASEAN-Japan Friendship and Cooperation, the ASEAN Foundation and ASEAN-Japan Center proudly present the highly anticipated ASEAN Foundation Model ASEAN Meeting Plus Japan 2023 (AFMAM Plus Japan 2023) in Jakarta, Indonesia. With aims of advancing the ASEAN Outlook on the Indo-Pacific and enhancing ASEAN diplomacy within the ASEAN and Japan, the programme will provide participants with an invaluable education experience with vast improvements in decision-making skills and knowledge on ASEAN and Japan affairs.
