Indonesia opens the 43rd ASEAN Summit on Tuesday under the cover of some of the worst air pollution in the world, as Southeast Asian leaders and their external partners meet in Jakarta bearing some signs of progress but with little to assuage climate concerns.

As the 2023 ASEAN chair, President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo’s administration has been promoting long-term reforms to make the bloc more adaptable and to spur greater economic growth and integration – efforts summarized by this year’s official slogan, “ASEAN Matters: Epicentrum of Growth”.
