At the ASEAN-UN Ministerial Meeting at the UN Headquarters in New York, both sides agreed to redouble efforts to enhance ASEAN-UN cooperation through a more coordinated approach, strategic and long-term planning, and stable funding sources. 

They agreed to strengthen concrete cooperation on each pillar of the ASEAN-UN Comprehensive Partnership. 

They also agreed to work on a five-year plan of action to implement the Joint Declaration in the post-2015 period, to be finalised in the first quarter of 2016. 
Participants exchanged views on peacekeeping and conflict prevention, combating international terrorism and preventing violent extremism, addressing transnational crime, the irregular movement of persons, disaster risk reduction, response and recovery, food and energy security, global health issues, and inclusive and sustainable development. 

They underscored the importance of peacefully settling disputes through dialogue and in conformity with international law.
