JAKARTA, 17 April 2026– The ASEAN Secretariat announces the release of The ASEAN Magazine, Issue No. 51–52, titled “A Decade of Progress: The Making of the ASEAN Community”.
This double edition marks the conclusion of the ASEAN Community Vision 2025 and reflects on a decade of collective efforts to build a region that is stable, prosperous, and genuinely centred on the well-being of its people. The issue opens with a message from Secretary-General of ASEAN Dr. Kao Kim Hourn, who shares his reflections on ten years of community-building across the political-security, economic, and socio-cultural pillars — as well as the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.
The issue features the end-term reviews of the Blueprint 2025 of ASEAN Political-Security Community, ASEAN Economic Community, ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community, and the Master Plan on ASEAN Connectivity 2025. It provides a comprehensive and candid assessment on what the past decade delivered, where gaps remain, and how lessons learned will shape ASEAN’s next phase of development under the ASEAN Community Vision 2045.
The edition also highlights the Philippines’ 2026 ASEAN Chairship priorities, as well as perspectives on advancing gender equality, progress on the Sustainable Development Goals, and stories from across the region that bring ASEAN’s community-building efforts into human focus.
