ASEAN has cooperation and integration under the common house of ASEAN for the shared aspirations of peace, stability, cooperation and prosperity.
Today, ASEAN has asserted itself as an important socio-political entity not only in Southeast Asia but also in the Asia-Pacific region with its increasing role, reputation and influence at the global level.
The desire for peace and development has always been a compass for the operation of member countries in the Association. Solidarity, cooperation and development have always been the prevailing trend binding the Association's member countries.
Nowadays, ASEAN cooperation and integration have entered a new phase of development with meaningful moves towards the goals of becoming a Community of strongly bonded politics, economic strength and caring societies by 2015.
In that process, the people of ASEAN, the central objective of the ASEAN Community, will live in an environment of peace, stability and harmony; enjoy favorable conditions for sustainable and prosperous development in a highly competitive, open economic space; have access to comprehensive social services and welfare; their unique values and cultural identities are preserved and respected.
ASEAN has become the core factor which attracts the participation of and connects nearly 20 Partners, including major powers and big centers in the world in its dialogue and cooperation process, which ASEAN initiated and plays a central role in.
ASEAN has solicited substantial support and assistance of its Partners in the efforts to promote regional cooperation and integration as well as jointly settling common issues affecting the region.
In its relations with the external Partners, ASEAN has always projected itself as an entity with a common voice while leading and guiding discussions and cooperation priorities in those forums that it initiated as mentioned above.
The central role of ASEAN has always been respected and appreciated by its Partners, since ASEAN has been working well as "the honest broker" to harmonise, engage and balance the intertwining interests of various countries in the region.
45 years of close bonds and integration have brought about undeniable advantages and strength for ASEAN, creating firm premises for ASEAN to achieve greater advances to become an integrated and strong Community by 2015.
