ASEAN: A History
Have you ever heard of the word ASEAN before? Have you ever wondered why it was
established? It's time to study about ASEAN!
The five leaders of counties Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia and the Foreign Ministers of
Indonesia met in Bangkok, Thailand in August 8, 1967 and signed a document which gave way to
the establishment of the the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). The association aimed
cooperation in the economic, social, cultureal, technical, educational and other significant aspects,
and most significantly by encouraging regional peace and stability in the means of abiding respect,
justice and the adhenrence to United Nations Charter. Since the association is open to other counties
who are willing to abide in the aims of the cooperation, in 1984, Brunei Darussalam joined. In 1995,
Vietnam joined and two years after, Myanmar joined too. In 1999, the associated is finally composed
of ten countries as Cambodia decided to be part of ASEAN.
As set out in the ASEAN Declaration, the aims and purposes of ASEAN are:
To accelerate the economic growth, social progress and cultural development in the region
through joint endeavours in the spirit of equality and partnership in order to strengthen the
foundation for a prosperous and peaceful community of Southeast Asian Nations;
To promote regional peace and stability through abiding respect for justice and the rule of
law in the relationship among countries of the region and adherence to the principles of the
United Nations Charter;
To promote active collaboration and mutual assistance on matters of common interest in the
economic, social, cultural, technical, scientific and administrative fields;
To provide assistance to each other in the form of training and research facilities in the
educational, professional, technical and administrative spheres;
To collaborate more effectively for the greater utilisation of their agriculture and industries,
the expansion of their trade, including the study of the problems of international
commodity trade, the improvement of their transportation and communications facilities
and the raising of the living standards of their peoples;
To promote Southeast Asian studies; and
To maintain close and beneficial cooperation with existing international and regional
organisations with similar aims and purposes, and explore all avenues for even closer
cooperation among themselves.
In their relations with one another, the ASEAN Member States have adopted the following
fundamental principles, as contained in the Treaty of Amity and Cooperation in Southeast Asia
(TAC) of 1976:
Mutual respect for the independence, sovereignty, equality, territorial integrity, and
national identity of all nations;
The right of every State to lead its national existence free from external interference,
subversion or coercion;
Non-interference in the internal affairs of one another;
Settlement of differences or disputes by peaceful manner;
Renunciation of the threat or use of force; and
Effective cooperation among themselves.
