The 47th ASEAN Summit is scheduled to take place in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, from October 26 to 28, 2025. This annual meeting will gather heads of state and government leaders from all ASEAN member countries, including the newly inaugurated Prime Minister of Thailand.
The Director-General of ASEAN Cooperation at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Sidharto R. Suryodipuro, explained that the series of meetings leading up to the summit will begin on October 24, which is a ministerial-level meeting. "Firstly, on the evening of October 24, there will be an expanded informal consultation on the implementation of the five-point consensus," said Suryodipuro, during a press conference at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs office in Central Jakarta on Wednesday, October 22, 2025.
The consultation will address the implementation of the Five-Point Consensus (5PC) regarding the situation in Myanmar, which includes cessation of hostilities, provision of humanitarian assistance, appointment and visits of special envoys, and inclusive dialogue. "So, all of this is a path towards the restoration of stability in Myanmar. In the 5PC, there is no discussion of its alteration," he said.
