ASEAN must always be consistent in awareness and action, maintain a common voice, and promote the observance of law in the region, he said.

He called on ASEAN member states to improve the quality of the implementation of the ASEAN Political - Security Community Blueprint 2025 in order to make it contribute practically to regional peace and security and benefit the people.
At the event, the ministers agreed that cooperation among ASEAN nations have been accelerated in various areas, including defence, counter-terrorism and fighting transnational crime, border management, anti-drug trafficking, trust building and preventive diplomacy.

The ministers also held that the ASEAN is facing a range of complicated security challenges, including growing tensions in hotspots such as the East Sea (South China Sea), the Korean Peninsula and the Middle East, as well as emerging non-traditional security challenges such as health security, water security and cyber security.

They recognised the positive results the bloc has achieved in the fight against COVID-19 since the beginning of 2020 and reasserted their determination to maintain collaboration and endeavour to achieve set goals in a “Cohesive and Responsive” spirit.
Countries spoke highly of Việt Nam’s role as the ASEAN Chair 2020 and expressed their support for priorities and outcomes during the year.
Minh suggested member countries strengthen their cooperation to complete the mid-term review of the implementation of the ASEAN Community Vision 2025, the ASEAN Charter, and measures to promote the bloc’s image and identity, and to build a post-2025 ASEAN Community Vision.
