ASEAN
Trading Blocs- ASEAN (The Association of South East Asian Nations)
ASEAN was established on 8 August 1967 in Bangkok by the five original member

on 23 July 1997, and Cambodia on 30 April 1999.
The ASEAN Declaration states that the aims and purposes of the Association are:
- to accelerate the economic growth, social progress and cultural
development in the region.
- to promote regional peace and stability.

simplifying trade, removing tariffs on goods and services to create free movement
across borders, and will also help in expanding investments. In practice, tariff barriers

AEC to the member nations will be the development and implementation of
infrastructure projects, especially in setting up energy pipelines and fibre-optics
across the region. By 2030, the Asean bloc may also well become the fourth-largest
economy in the world.
Collaboration on Security: As global terrorism has become a reality in the light of

plane, a collective response to security issues will help Asean nations thwart such
attacks in the region. The ASEAN nations have taken measures to address
