About ASEAN Youth Conferece 2025

Malaysia, 6-8 November 2025

The ASEAN Youth Conference (AYC) 2025, an upcoming on-site event in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, is poised to convene 200 youth leaders and change-makers from ASEAN member states and beyond. This significant conference is designed to facilitate substantive dialogue between these participants and high-level experts, entrepreneurs, and regional leaders. Through these engagements, the event aims to foster greater intercultural understanding and strengthen the role of youth in the development of a resilient and inclusive ASEAN Community, all under the central theme: “The Role of Youth in Building an Inclusive & Sustainable ASEAN Region,” which aligns with Malaysia’s ASEAN Chairmanship.

The conference presents a timely opportunity to explore precisely how young people can become instrumental in achieving a more inclusive and sustainable ASEAN. To effectively realize this potential, it is deemed essential to closely examine the existing ASEAN Youth Work Plan (2021-2025) and to consider the findings of the ASEAN Youth Development Index Report, which provides insights into the current state of youth development across the region. 

Topics

ASEAN Political-Security Community Pillar:

Building a Strong ASEAN Region through Enhanced Regional Cooperation Amidst Global Challenges.

ASEAN Economic Community Pillar:

Accelerating Digital Integration for Inclusive and Sustainable Economic Growth in ASEAN.

Safeguarding ASEAN’s Future Through Strengthening People and Sustaining Cultures.
