In the bottom left corner is the logo of the 34th ASEAN Summit, which consists of the ASEAN logo, i.e. ten yellow stalks of paddy on a red circle (fig.), placed inside the center of a traditional Thai garland or puang malai, in the form of a wrist garland which is typically offered as a form of respect and to welcome guests. This type of garland is known in Thai as malai khlong meua (fig.) and demonstrates the hospitality of Thailand as the host nation of the 2019 Convention.
