The Future of Asia is an international gathering where political, economic and academic leaders from the Asia-Pacific region offer their opinions on regional issues and the role of Asia in the world.

The event, held annually since 1995, was cancelled last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It is considered one of the most important global conferences in Asia.

Deputy Prime Minister Pham Binh Minh attended and delivered a speech at the 2019 conference.
