Secretary-General of ASEAN opens 2nd ASEAN Junior Fellowship Programme

The second ASEAN Junior Fellowship Programme (AJFP) with the ASEAN Secretariat was launched today. At the opening ceremony, Secretary-General of ASEAN Dr Kao Kim Hourn spoke highly of the youth's important role as building blocks for ASEAN's Community building endeavours.

The AJFP is an initiative that materialised from Brunei Darussalam's Chairmanship of ASEAN in 2021. AJFP celebrates the ASEAN youth by expanding regional cooperation through friendly engagement of junior officers of ASEAN Member States whilst increasing their knowledge and effectiveness of work within a multilateral setting like ASEAN.
