Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Concept
ASEAN chairmanship rotates annually among its member states. The chair country convenes and presides over the principal ASEAN summits held during its chairmanship year.
Application
Indonesia held the ASEAN chairmanship in 2023. It hosted the 42nd ASEAN Summit in Labuan Bajo on 10–11 May and the 43rd ASEAN Summit in Jakarta on 5 September.
Contrast
Malaysia held the ASEAN chairmanship in 2025, not in 2023.
Thailand held the ASEAN chairmanship in 2019, not in 2023.
The 2023 summit cycle was convened under one national chairmanship, not by multiple listed host nations.
The 2023 chair country appears among the named country choices.
Cross-check
The official ASEAN chairmen’s statements identify Labuan Bajo and Jakarta, Indonesia, as the venues and the Republic of Indonesia as chair for the 42nd and 43rd summits.
Therefore, the host nation was Indonesia.
