Thailand will use this opportunity to highlight the post-COVID-19 recovery plan, concretise the COVID-19 ASEAN Response Fund, and emphasise the importance of multilateralism and regionalism in addressing common challenges, the Thai Foreign Ministry said in a release.

In engaging with external partners, ASEAN Foreign Ministers will reiterate the importance of ASEAN centrality in the regional architecture amidst the evolving regional security dynamics and challenges.
In addition, the ASEAN Foreign Ministers will make preparations for the upcoming 37th ASEAN Summit and Related Summits in November. They will also discuss and exchange views with external partners on the situation of the COVID-19 pandemic and other important regional and international issues.
The 53rd ASEAN Foreign Ministers’ Meeting is expected to adopt a Joint Communique, among other outcome documents./.
