AYO has been recognised and supported by the ASEAN Secretariat formally since 2018. Since then we have continued support from the ASEAN Secretariat in every project, programme and initiative also we received the approval to add the ASEAN logo and all ASEAN Member States flags to the AYO official logo. The recognition from the ASEAN Prize continued until this year when AYO received the prestigious ASEAN Prize 2024 and is expected to receive the ASEAN Prize 2024 during the ASEAN Meeting 2024 in Lao PDR in front of all the ASEAN Member States leaders. At the same time, AYO is also in the process of submitting a request to be one of the ASEAN entities.
