At the meeting, Australia and Timor Leste expressed support for ASEAN centrality and ASEAN efforts to help Myanmar through the five-point consensus.
Marsudi said that during its chairmanship of ASEAN in 2023, Indonesia wants the regional grouping to strengthen its centrality so that it will continue to be the driver of stability and welfare in the region.
In addition, Indonesia will hold the Indo-Pacific Infrastructure Forum, which is expected to encourage concrete cooperation among Indo-Pacific countries on the development of infrastructure.
The trilateral meeting is the third of its kind and was held on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly. The last such meeting was held virtually in 2020.
