The meeting will also discuss the Concept Paper on Periodic Review of the ASEAN
Defence Ministers' Meeting-Plus (ADMM+) for convening ADMM+ every two years.
Additionally, the officials will debate defence-related issues, including
humanitarian assistance for disaster relief, peacekeeping activities, maritime
security, military medicine, and counter-terrorism.
Chenda said he hopes that besides fostering personal ties and friendship among
ASEAN defence officials, the meeting will provide fruitful results for existing
cooperation, to further strengthen peace, stability and development among
southeast Asian countries.
