We, the Foreign Ministers of the ASEAN Regional Forum (ARF) Participants, decided on the ARF Manila Plan of Action (MPOA) 2026-2036;

1. Recalling the ARF Vision Statement (2009), the Ha Noi Plan of Action to implement the ARF Vision Statement (2010), and the Ha Noi Plan of Action II (2020-2025), and noting their progress of implementation;
2. Reaffirming the ARF as a central pillar in the evolving regional security architecture. Also reaffirming the commitment of the ARF in fostering constructive dialogue and cooperation on political and security issues of common interest and concern, enhancing mutual understanding and transparency, reconciling differing views to reduce the risk to security, promoting the shaping and sharing of norms and respect for international law, including the United Nations (UN) Charter, as well as promoting confidence building and preventive diplomacy to maintain and promote peace, stability, and prosperity in the region;
