00:07My dear colleagues, in 2017, as ASEAN Chair, the Philippines undertook to partner for change

00:14and to engage the world. Since then, ASEAN has welcomed one additional full dialogue partner,

00:22four sectoral dialogue partners, five developmental partners, and 20 countries

00:28which have acceded to the Treaty of Amity and Cooperation in Southeast Asia.

00:34This reflects ASEAN's growing voice, not only in our immediate region, but in the world.

00:41ASEAN has always been an outward-looking community, guided and anchored by a common set of values,

00:48our love for peace, and concern for the welfare of our peoples. Let me thus urge all Member States to

00:54remember that to meaningfully engage our partners, we must advance these values and interests,

01:01sensitive of course to our external partners' respective strengths and challenges. Let us

01:08therefore continue engaging our partners, not merely to expand networks, but to uphold and project the

01:15values that define ASEAN. Peace, inclusivity, and shared progress. As we support Malaysia's ASEAN

01:23Chairship in 2025, we stand ready to build on our shared achievements and sustain momentum until 2026.

01:33Thank you all.
