President Joko Widodo (third right), accompanied by Foreign Affairs Minister Retno Marsudi (center), hands over a symbolic key to the ASEAN Secretariat Building to ASEAN Secretary-General Lim Jock Hoi in the Kebayoran Baru area of South Jakarta on Thursday (8/8/2019). The President said he hoped the new ASEAN Secretariat Building can support ASEAN\'s mission to push for regional peace, stability and prosperity.

JAKARTA, KOMPAS — Despite potentially being affected by the tug of war between major powers, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) must strive to forge its own path and provide room for its citizens to grow. During the ceremony to commemorate ASEAN’s 52nd anniversary and inaugurate its secretariat’s new building in Jakarta on Thursday (8/8/2019), President Joko Widodo was focused on these two issues.

“ASEAN must maintain its reputation. [It must remain] relevant for the development of the new world and for the fulfillment of ASEAN citizens’ interests. ASEAN must work faster to respond to global changes. ASEAN must work fast and solidly,” the President said.
