A U.S.-ASEAN Center will be established in Washington, D.C. through a public-private partnership.
This was decided by the leaders of ASEAN and U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris at the 2023 U.S.-ASEAN Summit held in Jakarta, Indonesia.
The State Department said it has established a public-private partnership with Arizona State University (ASU) to launch the Center. The Center will further institutionalize and deepen the relationship between the United States and ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) while bolstering support for U.S. economic and cultural engagement with Southeast Asia.
