The ARF is an important platform for security dialogue in the Asia-Pacific region. With ASEAN in the central position, the ARF has become a key driving force in building trust among regional countries through diversified initiatives to promote trust and preventive diplomacy.
At the forum, foreign ministers will discuss several important documents such as adopting the 27th ARF Chair Statement, ARF statement on the prevention of infectious disease outbreaks, ARF statement on treatment for children who are employed or involved in terrorist and violent extremist groups, and ARF statement on IT security cooperation amid digital economic development, among others.

AMM 53 and related meetings are among the most important events during Vietnam’s Year of ASEAN Chairmanship in 2020. They take place amid fierce strategic competition between powerful countries, and heightened tension in several hot spots, as well as complicated developments of the coronavirus pandemic that clobbers every corner of the ASEAN member states’ socio-economy./.
