Description
ASEAN, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, boasts among its many laurels the restoration and consolidation of regional peace and friendship-a process which began in the late 1960s. More recently, in the 1970s, its successful Kampuchea campaign has been a rallying point for no small portion of the international community. On a lower profile, although of no less import to the region, is the progress Asean has made in economic co-operation.Substantive steps in Asean economic co-operation are of recent origin, begin- ning with the signing of the Declaration of the Asean Concord in 1976-at the First Asean Summit in Bali. It was at this meeting of the Heads of Government that the ground rules for Asean co-operation in trade and industry were set.Today, just over a decade after the historic event, the progress of Asean economic co-operation is still viewed in many quarters as unsatisfactorily slow. On the brighter side, however, there is a renewed interest in fostering economic ties, one that has been rekindled, in part, by the protracted global economic slowdown, the increasingly hostile international economic environment and the realisation that some of the answers can be found within the region. More important perhaps is the fact that the Third Asean Summit, scheduled for December 1987, opens up an important strategic opportunity for Asean to embark upon another phase of economic construction.
