Mechanism
ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) shall be the goal of regional economic
integration by 2015.
AEC envisages the following key characteristics:
(a) a single market and production base,
(b) a highly competitive economic region,
(c) a region of equitable economic development, and
(d) a region fully integrated into the global economy.
The AEC areas of cooperation include human resources development and
capacity building; recognition of professional qualifications; closer consultation
on macroeconomic and financial policies; trade financing measures; enhanced
infrastructure and communications connectivity; development of electronic
transactions; integrating industries across the region to promote regional
sourcing; and enhancing private sector involvement for the building of the AEC.
In short, the AEC will transform ASEAN into a region with free movement of
goods, services, investment, skilled labour, and free flow of capital.
To build on what has been constructed over the years in the field of political and
security cooperation, the ASEAN Leaders have agreed to establish the ASEAN
Political-Security Community (APSC). The APSC shall aim to ensure that countries
in the region live at peace with one another and with the world in a just, democratic
and harmonious environment.
ASEAN defence ministers discuss and exchange views on current defence and
security issues and challenges faced. The ADMM also aims to promote mutual trust
and confidence through greater understanding of defence and security challenges as
well as enhancement of transparency and openness.
The ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community aims to contribute to realising an
ASEAN Community that is people-oriented and socially responsible with a
view to achieving enduring solidarity and unity among the peoples and
Member States of ASEAN. It seeks to forge a common identity and build a
caring and sharing society which is inclusive and where the well-being,
livelihood, and welfare of the peoples are enhanced.
ASEAN shall develop friendly relations and mutually beneficial dialogue,
cooperation and partnerships with countries and sub-regional, regional and
international organisations and institutions.
ASEAN-India dialogue relations have grown rapidly from a sectoral dialogue
partnership in 1992 to a full dialogue partnership in December 1995. The
relationship was further elevated with the convening of the ASEAN-India Summit in
2002 in Phnom Penh. All these took place in a decade, which clearly signifies the
importance of the dialogue partnership to ASEAN and India and the progress made
in the cooperation.
