KUALA LUMPUR CONVENTION CENTRE
AND
LANGKAWI INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION CENTRE
1. INTRODUCTION
Malaysia assumed the annual rotating chairmanship of ASEAN beginning January 1, 2015
from Myanmar. Malaysia’s vision is the creation of a ‘People-Centred ASEAN’ involving all
sectors of society.
A significant milestone for ASEAN in 2015 is the realisation of the ASEAN Community as
outlined in the ‘Roadmap for an ASEAN Community 2009-2015’ where all 10 members aim
to achieve uniformity of rules and procedures and seamless physical, infrastructural and
people-to-people connectivity.
As Chairman, Malaysia’s key focus is to ensure that the priority measures and initiatives for
the ASEAN Community are in place and the integration process continues progressively
beyond 2015. Besides leading ASEAN to achieve these goals in 2015, Malaysia also sees, as
equally important, efforts to develop the ASEAN Community’s Post-2015 Vision as a guide
for the community to further prosper and grow.
Among the major meetings Malaysia will host during its chairmanship are the 26th ASEAN
Summit in April 2015 and the 27th ASEAN Summit in November 2015.
The opening ceremony of the two-day summit will be held at the Kuala Lumpur Convention
Centre on April 26 while the closing ceremony on April 27 is at the Langkawi International
Convention Centre, Langkawi Island, Kedah.
The ASEAN Senior Officials Meeting (SOM) on April 24 and other related meetings will
precede the Heads of State/Government Summit.
Malaysia, as Chairman of the Association this year, will work closely with other member
states to ensure that ASEAN delivers on key initiatives.
1
Among others, the 26th ASEAN Summit in April will see Malaysia recommending that an
enhanced ASEAN secretariat be deployed to ensure member states work together to craft
and implement its post-2015 agenda.
ASEAN is currently the seventh largest economy in the world with a combined Gross
Domestic Product (GDP) of US$2.5 trillion.
Formed on Aug 8, 1967 by Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore and Thailand, the
membership of ASEAN has expanded to include Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Laos,
Myanmar and Vietnam.
