JAKARTA, 11 August 2025 – The IAI Silver Showcase: Celebrating 25 Years of the Initiative for ASEAN Integration was held at the ASEAN Headquarters on 11 August 2025.

The event gathered representatives from the ASEAN Member States (AMS), Timor-Leste, ASEAN Partners, international and philanthropic organisations, as well as IAI National Coordinators and Focal Points to reflect on IAI’s achievements and discuss its future directions. The opening session featured remarks by Ambassador of Japan to ASEAN, KIYA Masahiko, who underscored the importance of promoting IAI support and differentiating it from ASEAN sectoral activities in project formulation and implementation.

A ribbon-cutting ceremony was also held to launch a curated photo exhibition showcasing the IAI’s milestones, success stories, and impact over the past 25 years. The Japan-ASEAN Integration Fund (JAIF) supported the event through the provision of meeting kits and promotional items.
