ASEAN Secretariat’s Director for Community Affairs Lee Yoong Yoong said that the forum is part of the Secretariat’s continuous effort to enhance partnership with the region’s media leaders.

The media plays a critical role in ASEAN’s regional integration process. We hope that through this ASEAN Media Forum, media leaders would be in a better position to convey the ASEAN story to the people-on-the-ground as we bring ASEAN closer to its citizens
