BACKGROUND

Initiated by the ASEAN Foundation, the 6^th ASEAN Foundation Model ASEAN Meeting (AFMAM) 2020 targets under-graduate students from universities across ASEAN to receive capacity development training and simulate how decision-makers of ASEAN address regional issues in a meeting. Students will be able to role-play senior officials, ministers, and leaders of ASEAN to learn about ASEAN’s mechanism in resolving and making decision upon certain regional challenges.
