The Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (the Centre) has once again been selected as the official venue for the 46th ASEAN Summit, taking place on 26-27 May 2025, bringing its two decades of expertise in high-level summit execution to the global stage. Situated at the heart of Malaysia’s capital and beneath the iconic Petronas Twin Towers, the Centre reaffirms its role as the country’s foremost destination for international diplomacy and regional cooperation.
The upcoming summit marks another milestone for the Centre, having already hosted major multilateral events such as the 12th ASEAN Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors’ Meeting (AFMGM), the KL Summit 2022, and the 9th United nations World Urban Forum in 2018. With zero security breaches to date, despite the involvement of heads of state, diplomats, and sensitive policy discussions, KLCC has proven to be more than a venue, it is a national asset that supports Malaysia’s global standing.
A Fully Integrated, Secure, and Future-Ready Convention Destination
What sets the Centre apart for events of this scale is not just its size but 34,000 sqm of purpose-built space but its deep integration with world-class infrastructure. Delegates enjoy seamless access to over 22,000 hotel rooms, including five hotels directly connected to the venue. The Kuala Lumpur City Centre Precinct provides over 350 F&B options, climate-controlled walkways to Suria KLCC, and direct connections to KLCC Park and public transit systems.
Security and efficiency are paramount. The Centre has long-standing operational protocols developed with local police, traffic control, and private security units, creating a seamless and safe environment. This operational excellence has made it the go-to venue for government-level events where timing, safety, and discretion are critical.
A Proven Track Record and Unique Capabilities Unmatched in the Region
As Malaysia’s only venue to have hosted multiple ASEAN Summits (2005, 2015, and now 2025), KLCC stands in a league of its own. With over 22,000 events hosted, 29 million visitors welcomed, and RM12.6 billion in economic impact generated since 2005, its legacy is clear: it doesn’t just host events, it creates national value and international visibility.
KLCC’s halal-certified in-house kitchens, the largest of their kind in Malaysia, offer culinary assurance for Muslim delegates, setting it apart from venues that rely entirely on third-party catering. Combined with state-of-the-art AV systems, AI-powered smart room controls, enterprise-level cybersecurity, and ISO-certified sustainable practices, the Centre is positioned to meet the demands of a future-facing world.
Whether hosting summits, exhibitions, or global conferences, KLCC delivers an integrated, secure, and cutting-edge experience, something international stakeholders are increasingly demanding in today’s volatile geopolitical and cyber landscape.
ASEAN’s Trusted Venue Continues to Shape Malaysia’s Global Footprint
As the 46th ASEAN Summit approaches, the Centre stands ready to support regional leaders and international delegates with a platform built on 20 years of operational mastery. Its continued success is a testament to its unmatched blend of strategic location, safety, service, and technology.
With KLCC playing a central role in Malaysia’s global engagement efforts, stakeholders, organizers, and international partners can look forward to an event experience that is secure, seamless, and impactful.
