Answer:
On August 8, 1967, ASEAN—the Association of Southeast Asian Nations—came into being with the signing of a document in Bangkok. Initially consisting of Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand, ASEAN opened up to more countries over the years: Brunei, Laos, Myanmar, and Vietnam, with Cambodia bringing it up to ten in 1999. (East Timor formally applied for membership in 2011; its application is still pending.)
ASEAN’s motto is “One Vision, One Identity, One Community.” But what does that actually mean in this sprawling, diverse region? Is there a single identity that links communist Vietnam with tiny, technocratic Singapore or with Indonesia, the world’s largest Muslim nation that houses almost half the population of ASEAN?
The ASEAN anthem states the organization’s aims as: “For peace, our goal from the very start/ And prosperity to last.” And sure enough, perhaps inevitably, ASEAN’s goals and achievements have largely been economic and political. Which is not to be lightly dismissed—relative lack of conflict and a growing economy have benefited the region, even if the rewards have accrued to some countries more than others.
