2 Message from the Prime Minister Malaysia is pleased and honoured to chair ASEAN in the year the ASEAN Economic Community will be actualised. We are also delighted to welcome all delegates to the ASEAN and related Summits and associated events. As Chair of ASEAN, we hope to focus on People Centred ASEAN so that ASEAN becomes more relevant to the ordinary people of ASEAN and develop a sense of Aseaness. We welcome the annual initiative of the Asian Strategy & Leadership Institute (ASLI) to organise the ASEAN Leadership Forum (ALF) held alongside the April Summit of ASEAN. This year the ALF travels from Nay Pyi Taw, Phnom Penh, Jakarta and Bangkok to Kuala Lumpur and will be held alongside the ASEAN Summit on 26 th and 27 th April The ASEAN Leadership Forum has become institutionalised as a leading regional programme, bringing together Government, Business, Civil Society and Thought Leaders to deliberate on the future of ASEAN and to debate the issues and driving forces shaping the future of ASEAN. I believe this year s Forum will help define ideas for a post 2015 vision for ASEAN and that the deliberations at the ALF can be very useful inputs and feedback for the leaders. I am confident that the ASEAN Leadership Forum will continue to play a useful role in being a bridge between Government, Business and Civil Society. It will also enable the business community to be updated on new developments in ASEAN and the prospects ahead arising from the full implementation of the AEC. The engagement with the younger generation as future leaders is also timely and relevant. Once again I compliment ASLI as well as the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI) for organising this timely and apt Forum. I welcome all delegates to Kuala Lumpur and wish you a pleasant stay and successful deliberations. YAB Dato Sri Mohd Najib bin Tun Abdul Razak Prime Minister of Malaysia

The ALF has been widely recognised as a high-powered Forum providing timely platforms for a critical discussion of the strategic issues facing ASEAN and to share valuable knowledge and information on the future of ASEAN. ALF enables a senior executive interchange among key Government, Business, Civil Society and Thought Leaders to feel the pulse of ASEAN and the tempo of development in the region. This year the realisation of the AEC will make the Forum more interesting as participants debate the future of ASEAN competiveness, having moved from community to connectivity and centrality. The ALF will enable participants to be updated on the AEC and other key developments in the region such as the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (RCEP) as well as The Transpacific Partnership (TTP) Agreement and how these will benefit ASEAN businesses.
