The ASEAN Navy Chiefs’ Meeting (ANCM) serves as a crucial platform for naval chiefs from ASEAN member states to convene and discuss regional security, cooperation, and maritime challenges. Hosted annually by rotating ASEAN countries, the meeting emphasizes joint exercises, information sharing, disaster response, and piracy prevention. Through collaboration and dialogue, the ANCM aims to achieve the following objectives:

• Exchange Information
• Enhance Naval Cooperation on Maritime Issues
• Build Capacity and Confidence
• Conduct Joint Naval Training, Exercises, and Operations
