The AIPF will focus on three issues of common interest, namely green infrastructure and resilient supply chains, digital transformation and creative economy, as well as sustainable and innovative financing.

The AIPF is held as an implementation of the ASEAN Outlook on the Indo-Pacific (AOIP), adopted in 2019 by ASEAN Member States. The Outlook is an initiative that seeks to reinforce an inclusive regional architecture. It is also intended to enhance collaboration instead of rivalry, promote win-win cooperation, and provide new opportunities offered in the Indo-Pacific region.
The AIPF is expected to bring the Indo-Pacific region to become a more integrated and interconnected region through inclusive collaboration. This in turn, would contribute to maintaining peace, security, stability and prosperity in the region.
