The agenda of inclusive and sustainable development provides a great opportunity to synergize the ASEAN’s economic, political-security, and socio-cultural agendas.

• Robust economic growth and competitiveness could be sustained if it is built upon equitable and inclusive development.
• Poverty alleviation as a key goal of macroeconomic and development agendas.
• Barriers to participate fully in the development, access opportunities, and enjoy prosperity should be removed.
• Quality, coverage, affordability, and sustainability of social protection schemes should be improved.
