India and ASEAN countries have had relations since the 1990s. According to ASEAN, trade between India and the member countries hit USD $77 billion in 2019. 

India’s diaspora too, makes up a significant percentage of many Southeastern Asian countries’ populations, including Malaysia, and Singapore where they make up 8% and 7% of the population respectively. 

In September, Prime Minister Narendra Modi attended a trade summit with ASEAN countries where he announced a 12-point plan to strengthen economic relations between the nations. 

Objectives mentioned included promoting the use of digital tools for agriculture transformation, as well as financing climate friendly technologies, among others. 

The Horasis Asia Meeting is co-hosted by the Binh Duong Province and Becamex IDC, a Vietnamese investment and development corporation.

Plenary delegates will debate on a host of pressing issues, including revitalizing Asian economic growth, addressing the climate emergency as it relates to Asia, supporting Asian entrepreneurship, and how the region can be a driving force for global economic transformation, among many others.
