Thongloun Sisoulith was Chairperson of the summit. The theme of the summit was “Turning Vision into Reality for a Dynamic ASEAN Community”.

Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand, Singapore, Brunei Darussalam, Lao PDR (host), , Vietnam, Myanmar and Cambodia. India-ASEAN Prime Minister Narendra Modi had represented India at the ASEAN summit at the 14th ASEAN-India summit.

The document recognizes the vital importance of the planned review of the ASEAN-India Trade in Goods (AITIG) Agreement.

The document also emphasizes the importance of maintaining peace, security and stability, unimpeded commerce, freedom of navigation in and overflight above the South China Sea.
