The US-ASEAN Futures Symposium is a consultation platform for youth from the United States and ASEAN Member States to engage in interdisciplinary dialogue. The Symposium, which took place in October 2023, supports the US-ASEAN Strategic Partnership by raising awareness of global issues and promoting the exchange of ideas among future leaders. Delegates collaborated to deliver actionable and achievable policy recommendations for the future of US-ASEAN relations.
Symposium participants developed actionable policy memoranda on five crucial areas of development and cooperation within the US-ASEAN Strategic Partnership.
