The Federation of ASEAN Economic Associations (FAEA) is pleased to announce its annual conference, focusing on the **sustainable transformation of ASEAN economies** amidst a rapidly evolving global landscape. ASEAN countries are facing an intricate array of challenges, including climate change, geopolitical conflicts, rapid advancements in digital technology, particularly Artificial Intelligence (AI), and demographic shifts such as aging populations. In addition, the concept of ** ASEAN Centrality**—the idea that ASEAN remains at the core of regional economic, political, and security architecture—is increasingly crucial in navigating these challenges and ensuring cohesive regional integration.
