The ASEAN Foundation Model ASEAN Meeting (AFMAM) provides an avenue for tertiary students and faculty members from the region to sharpen their diplomatic skills by negotiating on ASEAN-related challenging topics while building cross-cultural friendships. Most importantly, AFMAM can create understanding among the participants about the issues that their neighbouring countries face to achieve Sustainable Development Goals targets.

The AFMAM initiative also supports the action lines under the ASEAN Community Vision 2025 under the ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community Blueprint to promote ASEAN awareness among the students and youths as part of building the ASEAN Identity.
