At the 2024 ASEAN-Australia Special Summit to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of ASEAN-Australia Dialogue Relations, the Prime Minister announced the establishment of the ASEAN-Australia Centre (AAC), planned for 1 July 2024. The AAC will strengthen business, education, cultural and community connections between Australia, ASEAN and, where appropriate, Timor-Leste. It will also support implementation of recommendations from Invested: Australia's Southeast Asia Economic Strategy to 2040. Establishing the AAC
will align us with key dialogue partners (Japan, ROK, China, Russia, US), which have ASEAN centres.
