ASEAN Mayors Forum uniting commitment for better ASEAN Community.

NEXT July, City of Taguig will be under spotlight. The call to strengthen Southeast Asia community will resound louder; insist for more tangible actions applied. And in the 3rd ASEAN Mayors Forum, the move will get closer to the shared goal; invigorate local governments for the aspired borderless community.

This 3rd celebration of Southeast Asian Mayors will align with the 50th Anniversary of ASEAN. The alignment ensures the joint-effort conducted with a vengeance by distinguished actors to get valuable impacts. Aiming at the said shared goal, UCLG ASPAC has been designing the agenda to inspire and capacitate participating cities and local governments in various thematic areas, included are in-depth discussion on ASEAN connectivity as a blueprint for a stronger ASEAN and extending ASEAN’s vision with the global commitment.

Agenda of the discussion will highlight mobility among people. The discussion is built on the awareness that transportation, as one tool to connect people, should transform from traditional to sustainable one. Engagement to the ASEAN Economic Community and how it benefits the people within the region will be discussed as well. Also included is resiliency from climate change and socio-cultural changes. In addition, discussion on the thematic knowledge is also expected to raise debate on energy utilisation by cities, women empowerment, land management, and development of local economies.

ASEAN Mayors Forum is a strategic platform, not only to share knowledge but also to build cooperation among cities. With the rich and variety of issues raised up in the upcoming forum, local governments and distinguished representatives are provided with rooms and opportunities to expand their horizon, connect with other related stakeholders, form cooperation, and thus leverage development in their area.

UCLG ASPAC invites all leaders and representatives in Southeast Asia to take part and contribute to the strengthening of the community in the 3rd ASEAN Mayors Forum: “50 years of ASEAN: Cities and Local Governments Empowering Communities for a Stronger ASEAN,� to be held from 26-28 July 2017 at City of Taguig, Metro Manila, the Philippines.
