The entities associated with ASEAN are regional outfits committed to joining the efforts to support ASEAN’s objectives and purposes. To help these entities carry out ASEAN objectives in their respective fields, ASEAN gave its entities the privilege to use ASEAN’s name, emblem, and anthem. Annually, the ASEAN Centres and Entities Associated with ASEAN converge at the ASEAN Headquarters for a significant event, the Forum of Entities Associated with ASEAN. This platform serves as a nexus for connection, collaboration, and the sharing of insights into their work. This year, the Forum celebrated its 8th edition, marking another milestone in their collective efforts. #ASEANEntitiesForum
