What this bill would do

This bill, titled the "PARTNER with ASEAN Act of 2025," aims to change how the Association of Southeast Asian Nations is treated under U.S. law. It proposes amending the International Organizations Immunities Act. Specifically, it seeks to grant the Association of Southeast Asian Nations diplomatic privileges and immunities. The President would have the authority to extend these provisions under specific terms and conditions. This change would apply in a manner similar to public international organizations that the United States participates in through treaties or congressional authority.
