Plan of Action to Implement the ASEAN-Canada Strategic Partnership (2026-2030)

This Plan of Action (POA) builds upon the significant achievements made in the relations between ASEAN and Canada and the successful implementation of the Plan of Action to Implement the Joint Declaration on ASEAN-Canada Enhanced Partnership (2021-2025), the establishment of Strategic Partnership in 2023 and the joint statements adopted by the Leaders of ASEAN and Canada during the past five years. It will serve as a guiding document to further strengthen ASEAN-Canada cooperation in areas of mutual interest, bringing tangible benefits to our peoples, as well as contributing to the promotion of peace, stability, prosperity and sustainability in the region. The POA will also contribute to the promotion of the ASEAN Community building and integration, including the implementation of the ASEAN Community Vision 2045: Resilient, Innovative, Dynamic and People-Centred ASEAN and its Strategic Plans, and the strengthening of the ASEAN-Canada Strategic Partnership and cooperation. This POA also affirms Canada's support for ASEAN Centrality in the evolving regional architecture and all ASEAN-led mechanisms and fora.

This POA calls for strengthening existing ASEAN-Canada cooperation through coordination, monitoring, and review processes, as appropriate, to continue to ensure the effective and timely implementation of its action lines.
