 (AseanAll)  — Secretary-General of ASEAN, Dr. Kao Kim Hourn, on July 18, 2025 welcomed the Foreign Minister of Indonesia Sugiono during his first official visit to the ASEAN Headquarters/ASEAN Secretariat.

Sugiono toured the premises, which included the Heritage Building, and attended a meet-and-greet with the Permanent Representatives to ASEAN, the Ambassador of Timor-Leste to ASEAN, and dedicated Ambassadors to ASEAN. 

During the visit, Sugiono also held a meeting with Dr. Kao, where they discussed the follow-up to the 46th ASEAN Summit and the recently-concluded 58th ASEAN Foreign Ministers’ Meeting and related meetings, among others. 

As host country of the ASEAN Secretariat premises, Indonesia plays a central role in supporting ASEAN’s work, and this visit underscores Indonesia’s continued commitment to ASEAN and its institutional building, with a view to advancing regional integration and the goals of ASEAN 2045: Our Shared Future.
