ASEAN LEADERS STATEMENT ON JOINT RESPONSE TO CLIMATE CHANGE

VIETNAM 2010 WE the Heads of StateGovernment of Brunei Darussalam the Kingdom of Cambodia the Republic of Indonesia the Lao Peoples Democratic Republic Malaysia the Union c1f Myanmar the Republic of the Philippines the Republic of Singapore the Kingdom of Thailand and the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam Member States of ASEAN on the occasion of the 16th ASEAN Summit

RENEWING our commitments made in the ASEAN Joint Statement on Climate Change to the 15th session of the Conference of the Parties (COP) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the 5th session of the Conference Parties serving as the Meeting of Parties (CMP) to the Kyoto Protocol (2009) the ASEAN Declaration on the 13th session of COP to the UNFCCC and the 3rd session of the CMP to the Kyoto Protocol (2007) and the ASEAN Declaration on Environmental Sustainability (2007)

REAFFIRMING that the UNFCCC and its Kyoto Protocol constitute the current legal framework and legal instrument for the international community to combat global climate change and that comprehensive effective and binding outcomes of the Bali Roadmap are essential for furthering the implementation of the UNFCCC and the Kyoto Protocol and should be addressed by a consensusshybased and transparent manner

FURTHER REAFFIRMING the principle of equity and in accordance with their common but differentiated responsibilities and respective capabilities and national circumstances

UNDERSTANDING that while the Copenhagen Accord is not a legally binding instrument it provides elements that could be considered as inputs to the two-track process of the Ad-hoc Working Group on Long-term Cooperative Actions (AWG-LCA) and the Ad-hoc Working Group on Further Commitments for Annex I Parties under the Kyoto Protocol (AWG-KP) aimed at reaching at a fair equitable and legally binding agreement that ensures a successful COP 16CMP 6 in Mexico gt

NOTING the large number of countries associating themselves with the Copenhagen Accord

RECOGNIZING that the Southeast Asian region is also vulnerable to climate change which will seriously affect most of aspects of livelihood and limit our development options for the future including our efforts towards the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals

RECOGNIZING the importance of sustainable forest management in ASEAN which will contribute significantly to the international efforts to promote environmental sustainability and to mitigate the effects of climate change

SHARING a vision for an ASEAN Community resilient to climate change and supporting our national and global efforts to combat climate change consistent with our common but differentiated responsibilities and respective capabilities

DO HEREBY DECLARE TO

Towards a global solution to the challenge of climate change ateOP 161CMP 6 ----_bullbull ~-gt ~gt

1 Reaffirm our right to sustainable development and resolve to achieve the ultimate objective of the UNFCCC to stabilize atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations at a level that would prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system and within a time-frame sufficient to allow ecosystems to adapt naturally to climate change to ensure that food production is not threatened and to enable economic development to proceed in a sustainable manner

2 Urge all Parties of UNFCCC to work together to secure a legally binding agreement particularly to limit the increase in average global temperature to below 2 degrees Celsius above the pre-industrial level and encourage all Parties concerned to engage in further discussions to elaborate appropriate provisions which should be concluded at COP 16CMP 6 in December 2010

2

3 Urge developed countries to continue taking the lead by making more ambitious commitments and setting out specific and binding targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the mid-term and longshyterm

4 Call upon developed countries to support developing countries and take full account of the specific needs and special situations of the least developed countries and those most affected by climate change with adequate predictable and sustainable financial resources transfer of technology as well as capacity enhancement to enable adaptation efforts and nationally appropriate mitigation actions by developing countries through effective and new institutional arrangements

5 Urge all countries particularly developed countries to ensure that their existing and future unilateral policies and measures as well as market-based mechanisms in addressing climate change will not negatively affect international trade as well as the sustainable economic and social development of developing countries taking into full account the specific needs and special situations of the least developed countries

6 Urge developed countries to fulfill their obligations under the UNFCCC and to provide scaled-up new and additional adequate and predictable funding to the developing countries taking into full account the specific needs and special situations of the least developed countries and those most affected by climate change which shall be provided with incentives to continue to develop on a low emission pathway

7 Encourage all developing countries to make active contributions to the global efforts through the development and implementation of Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs) on a voluntary basis in accordance with their different national circumstances while welcoming adequate financial and technical support that is made available to them

8 Encourage South-South cooperation to support ASEAN Member States in addressing the impacts of climate change through technical cooperation and capacity building

9 Reaffirm that agreement on and effective implementation of Reduced Emission from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD)-plus mechanisms is critical for contributions by ASEAN Members States to mitigate emissions and offers major opportunities for enhancing biodiversity conservation and sustainable use of natural resources as well as supporting the livelihood of local communities in a sustainable manner

10 Work constructively together to ensure that the outcome of COP 16CMP 6 will incorporate longshyterm cooperative actions to address climate change in accordance with principles and provisions of the Convention and the Bali Action Plan in particular on mitigation adaptation finance technology transfer capacity building and taking into account the specific national circumstances of Parties and a future agreement of the Second Commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol

11 Commit to actively contribute towards a successful outcome of COP 16CMP 6

Towards an ASEAN Community resilient to climate change

12 Continue to exchange views among ASEAN Member States on international climate negotiations under the UNFCCC before and in Mexico (COP 16CMP 6) as well as other related international conferences In this regard the newly established ASEAN Working Group on Climate Change (AWGCC) should work extensively to develop a common understandingposition of ASEAN in the coming COP 16CMP 6 in 2010 in line with the Bali Roadmap

13 Urge the ASEAN Climate Change Initiative (ACCI) to actively provide a consultative platform to further strengthen regional coordination and cooperation addressing climate change

14 Enhance scientific collaboration including on the following areas

a Downscaling of climate change effects according to different greenhouse gas emissions scenarios for the Southeast Asian region and for local areas according to multiple models

3

b Detailed climate change impact assessment vulnerability assessment adaptation options and needs for the Southeast Asian region and sub-regions such as BIMP-EAGA and Greater Mekong Subshyregion

c Formulation of needs and opportunities for greenhouse gas errnssrons mitigation with both domestic and international support in for example water resources management and peat land management forestry agricultural industrial and domestic energy efficiency measures renewable energy generation and transportation

ASEAN LEADERS STATEMENT ON SUSTAINED RECOVERY AND DEVELOPMENT

We the Heads of StateGovernment of the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) met in Ha Noi

Viet Nam on 8-9 April 2010 for the 16th ASEAN Summit We discussed the situation of the global economy

and were pleased to note that it is showing signs of recovery from the global financial and economic crisis

although this recovery is expected to be slow Nonetheless we believe that ASEANs inherent dynamism

will help the region sustain its recovery and attain higher economic growth

We are detennined for ASEAN to sustain its recovery in the aftermath of the global financial crisis and economic

downturn We therefore re-affirm our commitment towards regional integration and building the ASEAN

Commupity and re-affirm our willingness and readiness to participate in coordinated efforts towards sustained

global economic recovery as follows

1 Ensuring Financial Stability in ASEAN and Sustained Recovery

We will cooperate in restoring the health of financial systems and maintaining supportive macroeconomic

policies We will strengthen regional surveillance and economic monitoring capacities for an early detection of

macro-financial risks and vulnerabilities

We affirm our determination to enhance regional financial stability through such regional initiatives as the Chiangshy

Mai Initiative Multilateralisation (CMIM) and the Asian Bond Markets Initiative (ABMI) the Credit Guarantee

Investment Facility (CGIF) and the ongoing enhancement of the ASEAN Surveillance Office We reiterate our

willingness to achieve a more balanced international financial architecture by participating in reforms of financial

regulations prudential frameworks and International Financial Institutions

We will maintain monetary and fiscal support while preparing for orderly unwinding of expansionary policies until

the recovery is on a finn footing We note that as market conditions and the economic outlook are improving we

need to reconsider the continued support of monetary and fiscal policies for sustained recovery and resumption of

private credit flows in our economies

We affirm the need to start working on mechanisms to reverse the fiscal and monetary stimulus and then phase out

these policy accommodations We are fully confident that at the appropriate time we will be able to do so

effectively to ensure sustained recovery and development We welcome the inaugural Informal East Asia Summit

(EAS) Finance Ministers Meeting in May 2010 in Tashkent Uzbekistan

2 Enhancing ASEAN Economic Integration

We re-affirm our resolve to realise the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) which will establish ASEAN as a

single market and production base by 2015 We task all the AEC Council Ministers and officials concerned to

ensure that the AEC Blueprint and the strategic schedules contained therein are implemented in a timely manner

We will enhance cooperation and dialogue with our Dialogue Partners especially in implementing fully the

agreements signed and addressing regional and global challenges

We will continue to reject protectionism re-affirm our commitment to refrain from raising new barriers to trade and

investment and keep our markets open We remain committed to the WTO Doha Development Agenda and look

forward to the early and successful conclusion of the Doha Round

We welcome the G-20 Leaders Statement made at the Pittsburgh Summit in September 2009 and the APEC

Leaders Declaration made in Singapore in November 2009 particularly on the importance of an ambitious and

2

balanced conclusion of the Doha Development Agenda the continued rejection of protectionism and delivering a

global stimulus package to sustain global economic recovery ASEAN strongly believes that it can contribute to the

deliberations of the G-20 through the continued participation of the ASEAN Chair and the ASEAN Se~retaryshy

General in future G-20 Summits

3 Fostering Infrastructure Development

We re-affirm the importance of regional infrastructure development and enhancing connectivity that will playa

crucial role in achieving sustainable global economic recovery through enhanced trade investment tourism and

development We announced the ASEAN Connectivity Initiative at our 15th ASEAN Summit in Thailand in October

2009 to focus our resources and efforts in deepening connectivity within ASEAN and its sub-regional groupings

and in the broader regional framework of East Asia In this regard we task the High Level Task Force on ASEAN

Connectivity to develop the Master Plan on ASEAN Connectivity with recommended measures targets and

tlrnelines-necessary to achieve ASEAN Connectivity for the consideration of the ASEAN Member States We take

note otseveral ASEAN Dialogue Partners interest in ASEAN Connectivity during the Post Ministerial Conferences

and Summits in 2009 and therefore encourage their support towards the full implementation of the Master Plan on

ASEAN Connectivity

We re-affirm the importance of mobilising the regions savings to finance the huge infrastructure needs in the

region In this regard weare encouraged by the progress made under the ASEAN Infrastructure Financing

Mechanism (AIFM) We urge Member States to continue to explore effective financing instruments and policies

including a possible ASEAN Infrastructure Fund for viable regional infrastructure investments

We agree to enhance efforts to pursue physical infrastructure development and the policy and institutional

development in transport ICT and energy sectors in facilitation of transport and logistics necessary to realise

effective connectivity which would reinforce ASEANs position as a hub of the East Asian regi6n for transport

information technology tourism energy and logistics We task the relevant Ministers particularly the ASEAN

Transport Ministers (ATM) the ASEAN Telecommunications and ICT Ministers (TELMIN) and the ASEAN Ministers

on Energy (AMEM) to expedite the completion of the vital physical road rail air inland waterways sea gas and

power linkages within ASEAN as well as the implementation of the multilateral agreements phasing in ASEAN

Open Skies and the ASEAN framework agreements on inter-state transport multimodal transport facilitation of

goods in transit regional gas pipeline connections and power grid We look forward to the completion and

adoption of the ASEAN Strategic Transport Plan (ASTP) 2011-2015 and the ASEAN ICT Master Plan 2011-2015

as well as the implementation of the ASEAN Plan of Action for Energy Cooperation (APAEC) 2010-2015 by the

relevant ASEAN Ministers in 2010 to further enhance coherence in the regional connectivity agenda and the priority

measures for intraregional transport energy and information and communication linkages

We recognise that sub-regional cooperation arrangements such as the Brunei-lndonesia-Malaysia-Philippines

East ASEAN Growth Area (BIMP-EAGA) Indonesia-Malaysia-Thailand Growth Triangle (IMT-GT) Greater Mekong

Sub-Region (GMS) Cambodia - Laos - Viet Nam (CLV) Development Triangle and Ayeyawady - Chao Phrayashy

Mekong Economic Cooperation Strategy (ACMECS) are effective mechanisms to accelerate the implementation of

the regional initiatives In this regard we welcome the work that has been done by these sub-regions and look

forward to consolidating and prioritising existing work plans on connectivity into the Master Plan taking into

account related existing sub-regional cooperation frameworks We also look forward to the implementation of more

projects in the sub-regions to contribute to the narrowing of the development divide and enabling the sub-regions to

link with the rest of ASEAN region and beyond

creativity innovation and protection of intellectual property rights We believe that the creative economy which

draws on ASEANs rich cultural heritage combined with creative inputs from people in ASEAN will add substantial

value to its goods and services and will help promote sustainable growth in the region

We affirm ASEANs commitment to fully address socio-economic disparities and poverty that persist across ASEAN

Member States by developing and implementing an ASEAN Roadmap towards realising the Millennium

Development Goals (MDG) To this end we renew our commitment in the Joint Declaration on the Attainment of

the Millennium Development Goals in ASEAN underscoring the importance of better coordination and participation

of all key stakeholders including public and private sector civil societies and UN specialised agencies in

implementing the MDGs We call upon ASEAN Member States to continue supporting the initiatives for poverty

reduction towards narrowing the development gap within ASEAN and promoting self-reliance of families living

under poverty

Greater Mekong Sub-region the Mekong River Commission and encourage the contribution of ASEANs partners

to such cooperation in order to promote sustainable development of each Member State and the region

Caring and Sharing Community and reiterate our conviction on the core role of education to sustainable

development and regional competitiveness We will allocate substantial amount of resources for the promotion and

enhancement of educational cooperation in the region Recognising that the countrys human resource is its best

asset we pledge to continuously support and carry out human resource development initiatives in accordance with

the requirements of our domestic and global labour market

7 Intensifying Dialogues with Private Sector

We believe that an effective public-private sector engagement would be mutually reinforcing Towards this end we

will foster a more active and efficient participation of the private sector in the realisation of ASEAN Community

especlally the ASEAN Economic Community in ensuring ASEAN sustained recovery

We renew our commitment to support and develop small and medium enterprises for them to gain better access to

regional and global markets and for them to also benefit from ASEAN integration in order to address the

development divide and accelerate the economic integration

narrowing of the development gap within ASEAN We call on relevant sectors to promote the ifnplementation of

this Initiative in particular the Second Work Plan of the IAI We acknowledge the contribution of the ASEAN-6 in

providing technical assistance and capacity-building measures to address the needs of the CLMV countries We

The ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community Council

2009-2010

Introduction

After the ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community (ASCC)

14th Blueprint was approved by the ASEAN Leaders at the ASEAN

Summit in Clia-am Hua Hin Thailand in March 2009 the Socio-Cultural

Community Council (ASCC Council) convened its first meeting on 24 )f

August 2009 and the second meeting on 22 October 2009 Both the

meetings were chaired by HE Mr Kasit Piromya Minister of Foreign

Affairs of Thailand in his capacity as the Chair of ASCC

The First and the Second ASCC Council Meetings have

identified some priorities under the ASCC Blueprint as followsshy

1 ASEAN Awareness and Community Building

With people at its heart and their participation as the basis of

creating a Community of and for the peoples the First ASCC Council

Meeting identified the need to cultivate better historical and cultural

understanding between the peoples especially at the grass roots level

This is key for ASEAN to move forward with a common vision and

aspiration while appreciating its political economic and socio-cultural

diversities Promoting ASEAN awareness through shared identity and

cultural heritage would be fundamentally important in building the

ASEAN Community

2 Education

At the First meeting of the ASCC Council in August 2009

the meeting highlighted the need to empower people through education

in order to successfully realize the ASEAN Community Education could

also support ASEAN Awareness and ASEAN Connectivity both in terms

of physical infrastructure as well as spiritual and cultural connectivity to

15th create the feeling of being an ASEAN citizen At the ASEAN

Summit in October 2009 ASEAN Leaders under the recommendation of

the ASCC Council endorsed the Cha-am Hua Hin Declaration on

Strengthening Cooperation on Education to Achieve an ASEAN Caring

and Sharing Community

ABEAN agreed to highlight and maximize the richness and

diversity of cultures through art heritage and cultural activities in the

region as well as through media cooperation and networking to promote

ASEAN awareness and identity In Thailand the ASEAN Association of

Thailand has been established to be the main vehicle to promote ASEAN

awareness the community building process as well as how ASEAN as an

organization could bring about greater benefit to the people in the region

In addition the ASEAN Education Ministers are in the

process of drawing up the ASEANs Five Year Work Plan on Education

which is aimed at enhancing education standards and promoting ASEAN

community

3 The Promotion and Protection of the Rights of Women and

Children

On the human rights front the ASCC Council in close

collaboration with the ASEAN Ministers Meeting on Social Welfare and

Development (AMMSWD) and the ASEAN Committee on Women

(ACW) successfully concluded the Term of Reference of the ASEAN

Commission on the Promotion and Protection of the Rights of Women

and Children (ACWC) which would be launched at the 16th ASEAN

Summit in Ha Noi Viet Nam The ASCC firmly believes that the ACWC

is an integral part that would complement the ASEAN Commission on

Human Rights (AICHR) on ensuring greater promotion and protection of

human rights in ASEAN

4 Other issues that affect livelihood and well-being of the people in

the region

The ASCC Council has also strived to move forward with

the issues that affect the livelihood and the well-being of the peoples in

the region through implementing the ASCC Blueprint which would serve

as the roadmap to realizing the people-centered ASEAN Community

They include joint responses and cooperation on natural disasters health

and infectious diseases environment the attainment of the Millennium

Development Goal (MDGs) poverty eradication and the social impact of

the global financial crisis as well as the ASEAN Connectivity These

have been reflected through various Leaders declarationsstatements at

the 14th and is ASEAN Summits

In addition there are plans to effectively address the

problems of poverty and health standards through the possible setting up

of funds or financing schemes to support livelihood and employment

projects

5 ASEAN Connectivity

As ASEAN Leaders have put ASEAN Connectivity at the

top of the agenda of ASEAN Community Building it is important not

only to enhance infrastructure linkages within the region but to put

human factor into the process of building an ASEAN Community Not

only would ASEAN Connectivity lead to enhanced infrastructure

networks but connectivity should incorporate better linkages and better

understanding across the whole spectrum of ASEAN peoples The first

High Level Task Force on ASEAN Connectivity was convened in March

2010 and agreed on the need to include promoting education and

ASEAN cultural understanding in the Master Plan for ASEAN

Connectivity The ASCC Council should forge ahead with the

community building process that would make ASEAN Community a

diverse and culturally rich people-centered and socially responsible

community while uplifting the well-being of the people in this region

We the Heads of StateGovernment of the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) met in Ha Noi

Viet Nam on 8-9 April 2010 for the 16th ASEAN Summit We discussed the situation of the global economy

and were pleased to note that it is showing signs of recovery from the global financial and economic crisis

although this recovery is expected to be slow Nonetheless we believe that ASEANs inherent dynamism

will help the region sustain its recovery and attain higher economic growth

We are detennined for ASEAN to sustain its recovery in the aftermath of the global financial crisis and economic

downturn We therefore re-affirm our commitment towards regional integration and building the ASEAN

Commupity and re-affirm our willingness and readiness to participate in coordinated efforts towards sustained

global economic recovery as follows

1 Ensuring Financial Stability in ASEAN and Sustained Recovery

We will cooperate in restoring the health of financial systems and maintaining supportive macroeconomic

policies We will strengthen regional surveillance and economic monitoring capacities for an early detection of

macro-financial risks and vulnerabilities

Investment Facility (CGIF) and the ongoing enhancement of the ASEAN Surveillance Office We reiterate our

willingness to achieve a more balanced international financial architecture by participating in reforms of financial

regulations prudential frameworks and International Financial Institutions

We will maintain monetary and fiscal support while preparing for orderly unwinding of expansionary policies until

the recovery is on a finn footing We note that as market conditions and the economic outlook are improving we

need to reconsider the continued support of monetary and fiscal policies for sustained recovery and resumption of

private credit flows in our economies

We affirm the need to start working on mechanisms to reverse the fiscal and monetary stimulus and then phase out

these policy accommodations We are fully confident that at the appropriate time we will be able to do so

effectively to ensure sustained recovery and development We welcome the inaugural Informal East Asia Summit

(EAS) Finance Ministers Meeting in May 2010 in Tashkent Uzbekistan

2 Enhancing ASEAN Economic Integration

We re-affirm our resolve to realise the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) which will establish ASEAN as a

single market and production base by 2015 We task all the AEC Council Ministers and officials concerned to

ensure that the AEC Blueprint and the strategic schedules contained therein are implemented in a timely manner

We will enhance cooperation and dialogue with our Dialogue Partners especially in implementing fully the

agreements signed and addressing regional and global challenges

We will continue to reject protectionism re-affirm our commitment to refrain from raising new barriers to trade and

investment and keep our markets open We remain committed to the WTO Doha Development Agenda and look

forward to the early and successful conclusion of the Doha Round

Leaders Declaration made in Singapore in November 2009 particularly on the importance of an ambitious and

2

balanced conclusion of the Doha Development Agenda the continued rejection of protectionism and delivering a

global stimulus package to sustain global economic recovery ASEAN strongly believes that it can contribute to the

deliberations of the G-20 through the continued participation of the ASEAN Chair and the ASEAN Se~retaryshy

General in future G-20 Summits

3 Fostering Infrastructure Development

We re-affirm the importance of regional infrastructure development and enhancing connectivity that will playa

crucial role in achieving sustainable global economic recovery through enhanced trade investment tourism and

development We announced the ASEAN Connectivity Initiative at our 15th ASEAN Summit in Thailand in October

2009 to focus our resources and efforts in deepening connectivity within ASEAN and its sub-regional groupings

and in the broader regional framework of East Asia In this regard we task the High Level Task Force on ASEAN

Connectivity to develop the Master Plan on ASEAN Connectivity with recommended measures targets and

tlrnelines-necessary to achieve ASEAN Connectivity for the consideration of the ASEAN Member States We take

note otseveral ASEAN Dialogue Partners interest in ASEAN Connectivity during the Post Ministerial Conferences

and Summits in 2009 and therefore encourage their support towards the full implementation of the Master Plan on

ASEAN Connectivity

We re-affirm the importance of mobilising the regions savings to finance the huge infrastructure needs in the

region In this regard weare encouraged by the progress made under the ASEAN Infrastructure Financing

Mechanism (AIFM) We urge Member States to continue to explore effective financing instruments and policies

including a possible ASEAN Infrastructure Fund for viable regional infrastructure investments

We agree to enhance efforts to pursue physical infrastructure development and the policy and institutional

development in transport ICT and energy sectors in facilitation of transport and logistics necessary to realise

effective connectivity which would reinforce ASEANs position as a hub of the East Asian regi6n for transport

as well as the implementation of the ASEAN Plan of Action for Energy Cooperation (APAEC) 2010-2015 by the

relevant ASEAN Ministers in 2010 to further enhance coherence in the regional connectivity agenda and the priority

measures for intraregional transport energy and information and communication linkages

We recognise that sub-regional cooperation arrangements such as the Brunei-lndonesia-Malaysia-Philippines

East ASEAN Growth Area (BIMP-EAGA) Indonesia-Malaysia-Thailand Growth Triangle (IMT-GT) Greater Mekong

Sub-Region (GMS) Cambodia - Laos - Viet Nam (CLV) Development Triangle and Ayeyawady - Chao Phrayashy

Mekong Economic Cooperation Strategy (ACMECS) are effective mechanisms to accelerate the implementation of

the regional initiatives In this regard we welcome the work that has been done by these sub-regions and look

forward to consolidating and prioritising existing work plans on connectivity into the Master Plan taking into

account related existing sub-regional cooperation frameworks We also look forward to the implementation of more

projects in the sub-regions to contribute to the narrowing of the development divide and enabling the sub-regions to

link with the rest of ASEAN region and beyond

sustainable use of natural resources in order to diversify and ensure resilience of our economy In this respect we

reiterate our commitment to ensure that economic development in our region is consistent with the long term

sustainability of our natural resources

We stress the importance of the promotion of creative economy in paving the way for future growth based on

creativity innovation and protection of intellectual property rights We believe that the creative economy which

draws on ASEANs rich cultural heritage combined with creative inputs from people in ASEAN will add substantial

value to its goods and services and will help promote sustainable growth in the region

We affirm ASEANs commitment to fully address socio-economic disparities and poverty that persist across ASEAN

Member States by developing and implementing an ASEAN Roadmap towards realising the Millennium

Development Goals (MDG) To this end we renew our commitment in the Joint Declaration on the Attainment of

the Millennium Development Goals in ASEAN underscoring the importance of better coordination and participation

of all key stakeholders including public and private sector civil societies and UN specialised agencies in

implementing the MDGs We call upon ASEAN Member States to continue supporting the initiatives for poverty

reduction towards narrowing the development gap within ASEAN and promoting self-reliance of families living

under poverty

The ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community Council

2009-2010

Introduction

After the ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community (ASCC)

14th Blueprint was approved by the ASEAN Leaders at the ASEAN

Summit in Clia-am Hua Hin Thailand in March 2009 the Socio-Cultural

Community Council (ASCC Council) convened its first meeting on 24 )f

August 2009 and the second meeting on 22 October 2009 Both the

meetings were chaired by HE Mr Kasit Piromya Minister of Foreign

Affairs of Thailand in his capacity as the Chair of ASCC

The First and the Second ASCC Council Meetings have

identified some priorities under the ASCC Blueprint as followsshy

1 ASEAN Awareness and Community Building

With people at its heart and their participation as the basis of

creating a Community of and for the peoples the First ASCC Council

Meeting identified the need to cultivate better historical and cultural

understanding between the peoples especially at the grass roots level

This is key for ASEAN to move forward with a common vision and

aspiration while appreciating its political economic and socio-cultural

diversities Promoting ASEAN awareness through shared identity and

cultural heritage would be fundamentally important in building the

ASEAN Community

2 Education

At the First meeting of the ASCC Council in August 2009

the meeting highlighted the need to empower people through education

in order to successfully realize the ASEAN Community Education could

also support ASEAN Awareness and ASEAN Connectivity both in terms

of physical infrastructure as well as spiritual and cultural connectivity to

15th create the feeling of being an ASEAN citizen At the ASEAN

Summit in October 2009 ASEAN Leaders under the recommendation of

the ASCC Council endorsed the Cha-am Hua Hin Declaration on

Strengthening Cooperation on Education to Achieve an ASEAN Caring

and Sharing Community

ABEAN agreed to highlight and maximize the richness and

diversity of cultures through art heritage and cultural activities in the

region as well as through media cooperation and networking to promote

ASEAN awareness and identity In Thailand the ASEAN Association of

Thailand has been established to be the main vehicle to promote ASEAN

awareness the community building process as well as how ASEAN as an

organization could bring about greater benefit to the people in the region

In addition the ASEAN Education Ministers are in the

process of drawing up the ASEANs Five Year Work Plan on Education

which is aimed at enhancing education standards and promoting ASEAN

community

3 The Promotion and Protection of the Rights of Women and

Children

On the human rights front the ASCC Council in close

collaboration with the ASEAN Ministers Meeting on Social Welfare and

Development (AMMSWD) and the ASEAN Committee on Women

(ACW) successfully concluded the Term of Reference of the ASEAN

Commission on the Promotion and Protection of the Rights of Women

and Children (ACWC) which would be launched at the 16th ASEAN

Summit in Ha Noi Viet Nam The ASCC firmly believes that the ACWC

is an integral part that would complement the ASEAN Commission on

Human Rights (AICHR) on ensuring greater promotion and protection of

human rights in ASEAN

4 Other issues that affect livelihood and well-being of the people in

the region

The ASCC Council has also strived to move forward with

the issues that affect the livelihood and the well-being of the peoples in

the region through implementing the ASCC Blueprint which would serve

as the roadmap to realizing the people-centered ASEAN Community

They include joint responses and cooperation on natural disasters health

and infectious diseases environment the attainment of the Millennium

Development Goal (MDGs) poverty eradication and the social impact of

the global financial crisis as well as the ASEAN Connectivity These

have been reflected through various Leaders declarationsstatements at

the 14th and is ASEAN Summits

In addition there are plans to effectively address the

problems of poverty and health standards through the possible setting up

of funds or financing schemes to support livelihood and employment

projects

5 ASEAN Connectivity

As ASEAN Leaders have put ASEAN Connectivity at the

top of the agenda of ASEAN Community Building it is important not

only to enhance infrastructure linkages within the region but to put

human factor into the process of building an ASEAN Community Not

only would ASEAN Connectivity lead to enhanced infrastructure

networks but connectivity should incorporate better linkages and better

understanding across the whole spectrum of ASEAN peoples The first

High Level Task Force on ASEAN Connectivity was convened in March

2010 and agreed on the need to include promoting education and

ASEAN cultural understanding in the Master Plan for ASEAN

Connectivity The ASCC Council should forge ahead with the

community building process that would make ASEAN Community a

diverse and culturally rich people-centered and socially responsible

community while uplifting the well-being of the people in this region

REAFFIRMING that the UNFCCC and its Kyoto Protocol constitute the current legal framework and legal instrument for the international community to combat global climate change and that comprehensive effective and binding outcomes of the Bali Roadmap are essential for furthering the implementation of the UNFCCC and the Kyoto Protocol and should be addressed by a consensusshybased and transparent manner

FURTHER REAFFIRMING the principle of equity and in accordance with their common but differentiated responsibilities and respective capabilities and national circumstances

UNDERSTANDING that while the Copenhagen Accord is not a legally binding instrument it provides elements that could be considered as inputs to the two-track process of the Ad-hoc Working Group on Long-term Cooperative Actions (AWG-LCA) and the Ad-hoc Working Group on Further Commitments for Annex I Parties under the Kyoto Protocol (AWG-KP) aimed at reaching at a fair equitable and legally binding agreement that ensures a successful COP 16CMP 6 in Mexico gt

NOTING the large number of countries associating themselves with the Copenhagen Accord

RECOGNIZING that the Southeast Asian region is also vulnerable to climate change which will seriously affect most of aspects of livelihood and limit our development options for the future including our efforts towards the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals

6 Urge developed countries to fulfill their obligations under the UNFCCC and to provide scaled-up new and additional adequate and predictable funding to the developing countries taking into full account the specific needs and special situations of the least developed countries and those most affected by climate change which shall be provided with incentives to continue to develop on a low emission pathway

7 Encourage all developing countries to make active contributions to the global efforts through the development and implementation of Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs) on a voluntary basis in accordance with their different national circumstances while welcoming adequate financial and technical support that is made available to them

8 Encourage South-South cooperation to support ASEAN Member States in addressing the impacts of climate change through technical cooperation and capacity building

9 Reaffirm that agreement on and effective implementation of Reduced Emission from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD)-plus mechanisms is critical for contributions by ASEAN Members States to mitigate emissions and offers major opportunities for enhancing biodiversity conservation and sustainable use of natural resources as well as supporting the livelihood of local communities in a sustainable manner

10 Work constructively together to ensure that the outcome of COP 16CMP 6 will incorporate longshyterm cooperative actions to address climate change in accordance with principles and provisions of the Convention and the Bali Action Plan in particular on mitigation adaptation finance technology transfer capacity building and taking into account the specific national circumstances of Parties and a future agreement of the Second Commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol

ASEAN LEADERS STATEMENT ON SUSTAINED RECOVERY AND DEVELOPMENT

We the Heads of StateGovernment of the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) met in Ha Noi

Viet Nam on 8-9 April 2010 for the 16th ASEAN Summit We discussed the situation of the global economy

and were pleased to note that it is showing signs of recovery from the global financial and economic crisis

although this recovery is expected to be slow Nonetheless we believe that ASEANs inherent dynamism

will help the region sustain its recovery and attain higher economic growth

We are detennined for ASEAN to sustain its recovery in the aftermath of the global financial crisis and economic

downturn We therefore re-affirm our commitment towards regional integration and building the ASEAN

Commupity and re-affirm our willingness and readiness to participate in coordinated efforts towards sustained

global economic recovery as follows

1 Ensuring Financial Stability in ASEAN and Sustained Recovery

We will cooperate in restoring the health of financial systems and maintaining supportive macroeconomic

policies We will strengthen regional surveillance and economic monitoring capacities for an early detection of

macro-financial risks and vulnerabilities

We affirm our determination to enhance regional financial stability through such regional initiatives as the Chiangshy

Mai Initiative Multilateralisation (CMIM) and the Asian Bond Markets Initiative (ABMI) the Credit Guarantee

Investment Facility (CGIF) and the ongoing enhancement of the ASEAN Surveillance Office We reiterate our

willingness to achieve a more balanced international financial architecture by participating in reforms of financial

regulations prudential frameworks and International Financial Institutions

We will maintain monetary and fiscal support while preparing for orderly unwinding of expansionary policies until

the recovery is on a finn footing We note that as market conditions and the economic outlook are improving we

need to reconsider the continued support of monetary and fiscal policies for sustained recovery and resumption of

private credit flows in our economies

We affirm the need to start working on mechanisms to reverse the fiscal and monetary stimulus and then phase out

these policy accommodations We are fully confident that at the appropriate time we will be able to do so

effectively to ensure sustained recovery and development We welcome the inaugural Informal East Asia Summit

(EAS) Finance Ministers Meeting in May 2010 in Tashkent Uzbekistan

2 Enhancing ASEAN Economic Integration

We re-affirm our resolve to realise the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) which will establish ASEAN as a

single market and production base by 2015 We task all the AEC Council Ministers and officials concerned to

ensure that the AEC Blueprint and the strategic schedules contained therein are implemented in a timely manner

We will enhance cooperation and dialogue with our Dialogue Partners especially in implementing fully the

agreements signed and addressing regional and global challenges

We will continue to reject protectionism re-affirm our commitment to refrain from raising new barriers to trade and

investment and keep our markets open We remain committed to the WTO Doha Development Agenda and look

forward to the early and successful conclusion of the Doha Round

We welcome the G-20 Leaders Statement made at the Pittsburgh Summit in September 2009 and the APEC

Leaders Declaration made in Singapore in November 2009 particularly on the importance of an ambitious and

2

balanced conclusion of the Doha Development Agenda the continued rejection of protectionism and delivering a

global stimulus package to sustain global economic recovery ASEAN strongly believes that it can contribute to the

deliberations of the G-20 through the continued participation of the ASEAN Chair and the ASEAN Se~retaryshy

General in future G-20 Summits

3 Fostering Infrastructure Development

We re-affirm the importance of regional infrastructure development and enhancing connectivity that will playa

crucial role in achieving sustainable global economic recovery through enhanced trade investment tourism and

development We announced the ASEAN Connectivity Initiative at our 15th ASEAN Summit in Thailand in October

2009 to focus our resources and efforts in deepening connectivity within ASEAN and its sub-regional groupings

and in the broader regional framework of East Asia In this regard we task the High Level Task Force on ASEAN

Connectivity to develop the Master Plan on ASEAN Connectivity with recommended measures targets and

tlrnelines-necessary to achieve ASEAN Connectivity for the consideration of the ASEAN Member States We take

note otseveral ASEAN Dialogue Partners interest in ASEAN Connectivity during the Post Ministerial Conferences

and Summits in 2009 and therefore encourage their support towards the full implementation of the Master Plan on

ASEAN Connectivity

We re-affirm the importance of mobilising the regions savings to finance the huge infrastructure needs in the

region In this regard weare encouraged by the progress made under the ASEAN Infrastructure Financing

Mechanism (AIFM) We urge Member States to continue to explore effective financing instruments and policies

including a possible ASEAN Infrastructure Fund for viable regional infrastructure investments

We agree to enhance efforts to pursue physical infrastructure development and the policy and institutional

development in transport ICT and energy sectors in facilitation of transport and logistics necessary to realise

effective connectivity which would reinforce ASEANs position as a hub of the East Asian regi6n for transport

information technology tourism energy and logistics We task the relevant Ministers particularly the ASEAN

Transport Ministers (ATM) the ASEAN Telecommunications and ICT Ministers (TELMIN) and the ASEAN Ministers

on Energy (AMEM) to expedite the completion of the vital physical road rail air inland waterways sea gas and

power linkages within ASEAN as well as the implementation of the multilateral agreements phasing in ASEAN

Open Skies and the ASEAN framework agreements on inter-state transport multimodal transport facilitation of

goods in transit regional gas pipeline connections and power grid We look forward to the completion and

adoption of the ASEAN Strategic Transport Plan (ASTP) 2011-2015 and the ASEAN ICT Master Plan 2011-2015

as well as the implementation of the ASEAN Plan of Action for Energy Cooperation (APAEC) 2010-2015 by the

relevant ASEAN Ministers in 2010 to further enhance coherence in the regional connectivity agenda and the priority

measures for intraregional transport energy and information and communication linkages

We recognise that sub-regional cooperation arrangements such as the Brunei-lndonesia-Malaysia-Philippines

East ASEAN Growth Area (BIMP-EAGA) Indonesia-Malaysia-Thailand Growth Triangle (IMT-GT) Greater Mekong

Sub-Region (GMS) Cambodia - Laos - Viet Nam (CLV) Development Triangle and Ayeyawady - Chao Phrayashy

Mekong Economic Cooperation Strategy (ACMECS) are effective mechanisms to accelerate the implementation of

the regional initiatives In this regard we welcome the work that has been done by these sub-regions and look

forward to consolidating and prioritising existing work plans on connectivity into the Master Plan taking into

account related existing sub-regional cooperation frameworks We also look forward to the implementation of more

projects in the sub-regions to contribute to the narrowing of the development divide and enabling the sub-regions to

link with the rest of ASEAN region and beyond

The ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community Council

2009-2010

Introduction

After the ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community (ASCC)

14th Blueprint was approved by the ASEAN Leaders at the ASEAN

Summit in Clia-am Hua Hin Thailand in March 2009 the Socio-Cultural

Community Council (ASCC Council) convened its first meeting on 24 )f

August 2009 and the second meeting on 22 October 2009 Both the

meetings were chaired by HE Mr Kasit Piromya Minister of Foreign

Affairs of Thailand in his capacity as the Chair of ASCC

The First and the Second ASCC Council Meetings have

identified some priorities under the ASCC Blueprint as followsshy

1 ASEAN Awareness and Community Building

With people at its heart and their participation as the basis of

creating a Community of and for the peoples the First ASCC Council

Meeting identified the need to cultivate better historical and cultural

understanding between the peoples especially at the grass roots level

This is key for ASEAN to move forward with a common vision and

aspiration while appreciating its political economic and socio-cultural

diversities Promoting ASEAN awareness through shared identity and

cultural heritage would be fundamentally important in building the

ASEAN Community

2 Education

At the First meeting of the ASCC Council in August 2009

the meeting highlighted the need to empower people through education

in order to successfully realize the ASEAN Community Education could

also support ASEAN Awareness and ASEAN Connectivity both in terms

of physical infrastructure as well as spiritual and cultural connectivity to

15th create the feeling of being an ASEAN citizen At the ASEAN

Summit in October 2009 ASEAN Leaders under the recommendation of

the ASCC Council endorsed the Cha-am Hua Hin Declaration on

Strengthening Cooperation on Education to Achieve an ASEAN Caring

and Sharing Community

ABEAN agreed to highlight and maximize the richness and

diversity of cultures through art heritage and cultural activities in the

region as well as through media cooperation and networking to promote

ASEAN awareness and identity In Thailand the ASEAN Association of

Thailand has been established to be the main vehicle to promote ASEAN

awareness the community building process as well as how ASEAN as an

organization could bring about greater benefit to the people in the region

In addition the ASEAN Education Ministers are in the

process of drawing up the ASEANs Five Year Work Plan on Education

which is aimed at enhancing education standards and promoting ASEAN

community

3 The Promotion and Protection of the Rights of Women and

Children

On the human rights front the ASCC Council in close

collaboration with the ASEAN Ministers Meeting on Social Welfare and

Development (AMMSWD) and the ASEAN Committee on Women

(ACW) successfully concluded the Term of Reference of the ASEAN

Commission on the Promotion and Protection of the Rights of Women

and Children (ACWC) which would be launched at the 16th ASEAN

Summit in Ha Noi Viet Nam The ASCC firmly believes that the ACWC

is an integral part that would complement the ASEAN Commission on

Human Rights (AICHR) on ensuring greater promotion and protection of

human rights in ASEAN

4 Other issues that affect livelihood and well-being of the people in

the region

The ASCC Council has also strived to move forward with

the issues that affect the livelihood and the well-being of the peoples in

the region through implementing the ASCC Blueprint which would serve

as the roadmap to realizing the people-centered ASEAN Community

They include joint responses and cooperation on natural disasters health

and infectious diseases environment the attainment of the Millennium

Development Goal (MDGs) poverty eradication and the social impact of

the global financial crisis as well as the ASEAN Connectivity These

have been reflected through various Leaders declarationsstatements at

the 14th and is ASEAN Summits

In addition there are plans to effectively address the

problems of poverty and health standards through the possible setting up

of funds or financing schemes to support livelihood and employment

projects

5 ASEAN Connectivity

As ASEAN Leaders have put ASEAN Connectivity at the

top of the agenda of ASEAN Community Building it is important not

only to enhance infrastructure linkages within the region but to put

human factor into the process of building an ASEAN Community Not

only would ASEAN Connectivity lead to enhanced infrastructure

networks but connectivity should incorporate better linkages and better

understanding across the whole spectrum of ASEAN peoples The first

High Level Task Force on ASEAN Connectivity was convened in March

2010 and agreed on the need to include promoting education and

ASEAN cultural understanding in the Master Plan for ASEAN

Connectivity The ASCC Council should forge ahead with the

community building process that would make ASEAN Community a

diverse and culturally rich people-centered and socially responsible

community while uplifting the well-being of the people in this region

ASEAN LEADERS STATEMENT ON JOINT RESPONSE TO CLIMATE CHANGE

VIETNAM 2010 WE the Heads of StateGovernment of Brunei Darussalam the Kingdom of Cambodia the Republic of Indonesia the Lao Peoples Democratic Republic Malaysia the Union c1f Myanmar the Republic of the Philippines the Republic of Singapore the Kingdom of Thailand and the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam Member States of ASEAN on the occasion of the 16th ASEAN Summit

RENEWING our commitments made in the ASEAN Joint Statement on Climate Change to the 15th session of the Conference of the Parties (COP) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the 5th session of the Conference Parties serving as the Meeting of Parties (CMP) to the Kyoto Protocol (2009) the ASEAN Declaration on the 13th session of COP to the UNFCCC and the 3rd session of the CMP to the Kyoto Protocol (2007) and the ASEAN Declaration on Environmental Sustainability (2007)

REAFFIRMING that the UNFCCC and its Kyoto Protocol constitute the current legal framework and legal instrument for the international community to combat global climate change and that comprehensive effective and binding outcomes of the Bali Roadmap are essential for furthering the implementation of the UNFCCC and the Kyoto Protocol and should be addressed by a consensusshybased and transparent manner

FURTHER REAFFIRMING the principle of equity and in accordance with their common but differentiated responsibilities and respective capabilities and national circumstances

UNDERSTANDING that while the Copenhagen Accord is not a legally binding instrument it provides elements that could be considered as inputs to the two-track process of the Ad-hoc Working Group on Long-term Cooperative Actions (AWG-LCA) and the Ad-hoc Working Group on Further Commitments for Annex I Parties under the Kyoto Protocol (AWG-KP) aimed at reaching at a fair equitable and legally binding agreement that ensures a successful COP 16CMP 6 in Mexico gt

NOTING the large number of countries associating themselves with the Copenhagen Accord

RECOGNIZING that the Southeast Asian region is also vulnerable to climate change which will seriously affect most of aspects of livelihood and limit our development options for the future including our efforts towards the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals

RECOGNIZING the importance of sustainable forest management in ASEAN which will contribute significantly to the international efforts to promote environmental sustainability and to mitigate the effects of climate change

SHARING a vision for an ASEAN Community resilient to climate change and supporting our national and global efforts to combat climate change consistent with our common but differentiated responsibilities and respective capabilities

DO HEREBY DECLARE TO

Towards a global solution to the challenge of climate change ateOP 161CMP 6 ----_bullbull ~-gt ~gt

1 Reaffirm our right to sustainable development and resolve to achieve the ultimate objective of the UNFCCC to stabilize atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations at a level that would prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system and within a time-frame sufficient to allow ecosystems to adapt naturally to climate change to ensure that food production is not threatened and to enable economic development to proceed in a sustainable manner

2 Urge all Parties of UNFCCC to work together to secure a legally binding agreement particularly to limit the increase in average global temperature to below 2 degrees Celsius above the pre-industrial level and encourage all Parties concerned to engage in further discussions to elaborate appropriate provisions which should be concluded at COP 16CMP 6 in December 2010

2

3 Urge developed countries to continue taking the lead by making more ambitious commitments and setting out specific and binding targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the mid-term and longshyterm

4 Call upon developed countries to support developing countries and take full account of the specific needs and special situations of the least developed countries and those most affected by climate change with adequate predictable and sustainable financial resources transfer of technology as well as capacity enhancement to enable adaptation efforts and nationally appropriate mitigation actions by developing countries through effective and new institutional arrangements

5 Urge all countries particularly developed countries to ensure that their existing and future unilateral policies and measures as well as market-based mechanisms in addressing climate change will not negatively affect international trade as well as the sustainable economic and social development of developing countries taking into full account the specific needs and special situations of the least developed countries

6 Urge developed countries to fulfill their obligations under the UNFCCC and to provide scaled-up new and additional adequate and predictable funding to the developing countries taking into full account the specific needs and special situations of the least developed countries and those most affected by climate change which shall be provided with incentives to continue to develop on a low emission pathway

7 Encourage all developing countries to make active contributions to the global efforts through the development and implementation of Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs) on a voluntary basis in accordance with their different national circumstances while welcoming adequate financial and technical support that is made available to them

8 Encourage South-South cooperation to support ASEAN Member States in addressing the impacts of climate change through technical cooperation and capacity building

9 Reaffirm that agreement on and effective implementation of Reduced Emission from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD)-plus mechanisms is critical for contributions by ASEAN Members States to mitigate emissions and offers major opportunities for enhancing biodiversity conservation and sustainable use of natural resources as well as supporting the livelihood of local communities in a sustainable manner

10 Work constructively together to ensure that the outcome of COP 16CMP 6 will incorporate longshyterm cooperative actions to address climate change in accordance with principles and provisions of the Convention and the Bali Action Plan in particular on mitigation adaptation finance technology transfer capacity building and taking into account the specific national circumstances of Parties and a future agreement of the Second Commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol

11 Commit to actively contribute towards a successful outcome of COP 16CMP 6

Towards an ASEAN Community resilient to climate change

12 Continue to exchange views among ASEAN Member States on international climate negotiations under the UNFCCC before and in Mexico (COP 16CMP 6) as well as other related international conferences In this regard the newly established ASEAN Working Group on Climate Change (AWGCC) should work extensively to develop a common understandingposition of ASEAN in the coming COP 16CMP 6 in 2010 in line with the Bali Roadmap

13 Urge the ASEAN Climate Change Initiative (ACCI) to actively provide a consultative platform to further strengthen regional coordination and cooperation addressing climate change

14 Enhance scientific collaboration including on the following areas

a Downscaling of climate change effects according to different greenhouse gas emissions scenarios for the Southeast Asian region and for local areas according to multiple models

b Detailed climate change impact assessment vulnerability assessment adaptation options and needs for the Southeast Asian region and sub-regions such as BIMP-EAGA and Greater Mekong Subshyregion

c Formulation of needs and opportunities for greenhouse gas errnssrons mitigation with both domestic and international support in for example water resources management and peat land management forestry agricultural industrial and domestic energy efficiency measures renewable energy generation and transportation

15 Engage in cooperation in research and development and knowledge sharing including on agricultural management and practices so as to enhance food production agricultural productivity and water resources sustainability while adapting to the adverse effects of climate change and mitigating greenhouse gas emissions from the sector thus ensuring food security in the ASEAN region

16 Commit ourselves to promoting programmes for raising domestic awareness on climate change and to iFlculcate habits towards a low emissions society including through enhancement of education on climate change

17 Incorporate mitigation and adaptation strategies into national development strategies and policies in line with sustainable development

18 Enhance ASEAN participation towards strengthening international cooperationefforts to address climate change and assess its impacts on socio-economic development health environment and water

resources including activities on building adaptive capacities and supporting mitigation and adaptation actions

ASEAN LEADERS STATEMENT ON SUSTAINED RECOVERY AND DEVELOPMENT

We the Heads of StateGovernment of the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) met in Ha Noi

Viet Nam on 8-9 April 2010 for the 16th ASEAN Summit We discussed the situation of the global economy

and were pleased to note that it is showing signs of recovery from the global financial and economic crisis

although this recovery is expected to be slow Nonetheless we believe that ASEANs inherent dynamism

will help the region sustain its recovery and attain higher economic growth

We are detennined for ASEAN to sustain its recovery in the aftermath of the global financial crisis and economic

downturn We therefore re-affirm our commitment towards regional integration and building the ASEAN

Commupity and re-affirm our willingness and readiness to participate in coordinated efforts towards sustained

global economic recovery as follows

1 Ensuring Financial Stability in ASEAN and Sustained Recovery

We will cooperate in restoring the health of financial systems and maintaining supportive macroeconomic

policies We will strengthen regional surveillance and economic monitoring capacities for an early detection of

macro-financial risks and vulnerabilities

We affirm our determination to enhance regional financial stability through such regional initiatives as the Chiangshy

Mai Initiative Multilateralisation (CMIM) and the Asian Bond Markets Initiative (ABMI) the Credit Guarantee

Investment Facility (CGIF) and the ongoing enhancement of the ASEAN Surveillance Office We reiterate our

willingness to achieve a more balanced international financial architecture by participating in reforms of financial

regulations prudential frameworks and International Financial Institutions

We will maintain monetary and fiscal support while preparing for orderly unwinding of expansionary policies until

the recovery is on a finn footing We note that as market conditions and the economic outlook are improving we

need to reconsider the continued support of monetary and fiscal policies for sustained recovery and resumption of

private credit flows in our economies

We affirm the need to start working on mechanisms to reverse the fiscal and monetary stimulus and then phase out

these policy accommodations We are fully confident that at the appropriate time we will be able to do so

effectively to ensure sustained recovery and development We welcome the inaugural Informal East Asia Summit

(EAS) Finance Ministers Meeting in May 2010 in Tashkent Uzbekistan

2 Enhancing ASEAN Economic Integration

We re-affirm our resolve to realise the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) which will establish ASEAN as a

single market and production base by 2015 We task all the AEC Council Ministers and officials concerned to

ensure that the AEC Blueprint and the strategic schedules contained therein are implemented in a timely manner

We will enhance cooperation and dialogue with our Dialogue Partners especially in implementing fully the

agreements signed and addressing regional and global challenges

We will continue to reject protectionism re-affirm our commitment to refrain from raising new barriers to trade and

investment and keep our markets open We remain committed to the WTO Doha Development Agenda and look

forward to the early and successful conclusion of the Doha Round

We welcome the G-20 Leaders Statement made at the Pittsburgh Summit in September 2009 and the APEC

Leaders Declaration made in Singapore in November 2009 particularly on the importance of an ambitious and

2

balanced conclusion of the Doha Development Agenda the continued rejection of protectionism and delivering a

global stimulus package to sustain global economic recovery ASEAN strongly believes that it can contribute to the

deliberations of the G-20 through the continued participation of the ASEAN Chair and the ASEAN Se~retaryshy

General in future G-20 Summits

3 Fostering Infrastructure Development

We re-affirm the importance of regional infrastructure development and enhancing connectivity that will playa

crucial role in achieving sustainable global economic recovery through enhanced trade investment tourism and

development We announced the ASEAN Connectivity Initiative at our 15th ASEAN Summit in Thailand in October

2009 to focus our resources and efforts in deepening connectivity within ASEAN and its sub-regional groupings

and in the broader regional framework of East Asia In this regard we task the High Level Task Force on ASEAN

Connectivity to develop the Master Plan on ASEAN Connectivity with recommended measures targets and

tlrnelines-necessary to achieve ASEAN Connectivity for the consideration of the ASEAN Member States We take

note otseveral ASEAN Dialogue Partners interest in ASEAN Connectivity during the Post Ministerial Conferences

and Summits in 2009 and therefore encourage their support towards the full implementation of the Master Plan on

ASEAN Connectivity

We re-affirm the importance of mobilising the regions savings to finance the huge infrastructure needs in the

region In this regard weare encouraged by the progress made under the ASEAN Infrastructure Financing

Mechanism (AIFM) We urge Member States to continue to explore effective financing instruments and policies

including a possible ASEAN Infrastructure Fund for viable regional infrastructure investments

We agree to enhance efforts to pursue physical infrastructure development and the policy and institutional

development in transport ICT and energy sectors in facilitation of transport and logistics necessary to realise

effective connectivity which would reinforce ASEANs position as a hub of the East Asian regi6n for transport

information technology tourism energy and logistics We task the relevant Ministers particularly the ASEAN

Transport Ministers (ATM) the ASEAN Telecommunications and ICT Ministers (TELMIN) and the ASEAN Ministers

on Energy (AMEM) to expedite the completion of the vital physical road rail air inland waterways sea gas and

power linkages within ASEAN as well as the implementation of the multilateral agreements phasing in ASEAN

Open Skies and the ASEAN framework agreements on inter-state transport multimodal transport facilitation of

goods in transit regional gas pipeline connections and power grid We look forward to the completion and

adoption of the ASEAN Strategic Transport Plan (ASTP) 2011-2015 and the ASEAN ICT Master Plan 2011-2015

as well as the implementation of the ASEAN Plan of Action for Energy Cooperation (APAEC) 2010-2015 by the

relevant ASEAN Ministers in 2010 to further enhance coherence in the regional connectivity agenda and the priority

measures for intraregional transport energy and information and communication linkages

We recognise that sub-regional cooperation arrangements such as the Brunei-lndonesia-Malaysia-Philippines

East ASEAN Growth Area (BIMP-EAGA) Indonesia-Malaysia-Thailand Growth Triangle (IMT-GT) Greater Mekong

Sub-Region (GMS) Cambodia - Laos - Viet Nam (CLV) Development Triangle and Ayeyawady - Chao Phrayashy

Mekong Economic Cooperation Strategy (ACMECS) are effective mechanisms to accelerate the implementation of

the regional initiatives In this regard we welcome the work that has been done by these sub-regions and look

forward to consolidating and prioritising existing work plans on connectivity into the Master Plan taking into

account related existing sub-regional cooperation frameworks We also look forward to the implementation of more

projects in the sub-regions to contribute to the narrowing of the development divide and enabling the sub-regions to

link with the rest of ASEAN region and beyond

creativity innovation and protection of intellectual property rights We believe that the creative economy which

draws on ASEANs rich cultural heritage combined with creative inputs from people in ASEAN will add substantial

value to its goods and services and will help promote sustainable growth in the region

We affirm ASEANs commitment to fully address socio-economic disparities and poverty that persist across ASEAN

Member States by developing and implementing an ASEAN Roadmap towards realising the Millennium

Development Goals (MDG) To this end we renew our commitment in the Joint Declaration on the Attainment of

the Millennium Development Goals in ASEAN underscoring the importance of better coordination and participation

of all key stakeholders including public and private sector civil societies and UN specialised agencies in

implementing the MDGs We call upon ASEAN Member States to continue supporting the initiatives for poverty

Greater Mekong Sub-region the Mekong River Commission and encourage the contribution of ASEANs partners

to such cooperation in order to promote sustainable development of each Member State and the region

Caring and Sharing Community and reiterate our conviction on the core role of education to sustainable

development and regional competitiveness We will allocate substantial amount of resources for the promotion and

enhancement of educational cooperation in the region Recognising that the countrys human resource is its best

asset we pledge to continuously support and carry out human resource development initiatives in accordance with

the requirements of our domestic and global labour market

7 Intensifying Dialogues with Private Sector

We believe that an effective public-private sector engagement would be mutually reinforcing Towards this end we

will foster a more active and efficient participation of the private sector in the realisation of ASEAN Community

especlally the ASEAN Economic Community in ensuring ASEAN sustained recovery

We renew our commitment to support and develop small and medium enterprises for them to gain better access to

regional and global markets and for them to also benefit from ASEAN integration in order to address the

development divide and accelerate the economic integration

narrowing of the development gap within ASEAN We call on relevant sectors to promote the ifnplementation of

this Initiative in particular the Second Work Plan of the IAI We acknowledge the contribution of the ASEAN-6 in

providing technical assistance and capacity-building measures to address the needs of the CLMV countries We

encourage the continued contribution of our dialogue and development partners to the IAI in the implementation of

the Second IAI Work Plan

The ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community Council

2009-2010

Introduction

After the ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community (ASCC)

14th Blueprint was approved by the ASEAN Leaders at the ASEAN

Summit in Clia-am Hua Hin Thailand in March 2009 the Socio-Cultural

Community Council (ASCC Council) convened its first meeting on 24 )f

August 2009 and the second meeting on 22 October 2009 Both the

meetings were chaired by HE Mr Kasit Piromya Minister of Foreign

Affairs of Thailand in his capacity as the Chair of ASCC

The First and the Second ASCC Council Meetings have

identified some priorities under the ASCC Blueprint as followsshy

1 ASEAN Awareness and Community Building

With people at its heart and their participation as the basis of

creating a Community of and for the peoples the First ASCC Council

Meeting identified the need to cultivate better historical and cultural

understanding between the peoples especially at the grass roots level

This is key for ASEAN to move forward with a common vision and

aspiration while appreciating its political economic and socio-cultural

diversities Promoting ASEAN awareness through shared identity and

cultural heritage would be fundamentally important in building the

ASEAN Community

2 Education

At the First meeting of the ASCC Council in August 2009

the meeting highlighted the need to empower people through education

in order to successfully realize the ASEAN Community Education could

also support ASEAN Awareness and ASEAN Connectivity both in terms

of physical infrastructure as well as spiritual and cultural connectivity to

15th create the feeling of being an ASEAN citizen At the ASEAN

Summit in October 2009 ASEAN Leaders under the recommendation of

the ASCC Council endorsed the Cha-am Hua Hin Declaration on

Strengthening Cooperation on Education to Achieve an ASEAN Caring

and Sharing Community

ABEAN agreed to highlight and maximize the richness and

diversity of cultures through art heritage and cultural activities in the

region as well as through media cooperation and networking to promote

ASEAN awareness and identity In Thailand the ASEAN Association of

Thailand has been established to be the main vehicle to promote ASEAN

awareness the community building process as well as how ASEAN as an

organization could bring about greater benefit to the people in the region

In addition the ASEAN Education Ministers are in the

process of drawing up the ASEANs Five Year Work Plan on Education

which is aimed at enhancing education standards and promoting ASEAN

community

3 The Promotion and Protection of the Rights of Women and

Children

On the human rights front the ASCC Council in close

collaboration with the ASEAN Ministers Meeting on Social Welfare and

Development (AMMSWD) and the ASEAN Committee on Women

(ACW) successfully concluded the Term of Reference of the ASEAN

Commission on the Promotion and Protection of the Rights of Women

and Children (ACWC) which would be launched at the 16th ASEAN

Summit in Ha Noi Viet Nam The ASCC firmly believes that the ACWC

is an integral part that would complement the ASEAN Commission on

Human Rights (AICHR) on ensuring greater promotion and protection of

human rights in ASEAN

4 Other issues that affect livelihood and well-being of the people in

the region

The ASCC Council has also strived to move forward with

the issues that affect the livelihood and the well-being of the peoples in

the region through implementing the ASCC Blueprint which would serve

as the roadmap to realizing the people-centered ASEAN Community

They include joint responses and cooperation on natural disasters health

and infectious diseases environment the attainment of the Millennium

Development Goal (MDGs) poverty eradication and the social impact of

the global financial crisis as well as the ASEAN Connectivity These

have been reflected through various Leaders declarationsstatements at

the 14th and is ASEAN Summits

In addition there are plans to effectively address the

problems of poverty and health standards through the possible setting up

of funds or financing schemes to support livelihood and employment

projects

5 ASEAN Connectivity

As ASEAN Leaders have put ASEAN Connectivity at the

top of the agenda of ASEAN Community Building it is important not

only to enhance infrastructure linkages within the region but to put

human factor into the process of building an ASEAN Community Not

only would ASEAN Connectivity lead to enhanced infrastructure

networks but connectivity should incorporate better linkages and better

understanding across the whole spectrum of ASEAN peoples The first

High Level Task Force on ASEAN Connectivity was convened in March

2010 and agreed on the need to include promoting education and

ASEAN cultural understanding in the Master Plan for ASEAN

Connectivity The ASCC Council should forge ahead with the

community building process that would make ASEAN Community a

diverse and culturally rich people-centered and socially responsible

community while uplifting the well-being of the people in this region

REAFFIRMING that the UNFCCC and its Kyoto Protocol constitute the current legal framework and legal instrument for the international community to combat global climate change and that comprehensive effective and binding outcomes of the Bali Roadmap are essential for furthering the implementation of the UNFCCC and the Kyoto Protocol and should be addressed by a consensusshybased and transparent manner

FURTHER REAFFIRMING the principle of equity and in accordance with their common but differentiated responsibilities and respective capabilities and national circumstances

UNDERSTANDING that while the Copenhagen Accord is not a legally binding instrument it provides elements that could be considered as inputs to the two-track process of the Ad-hoc Working Group on Long-term Cooperative Actions (AWG-LCA) and the Ad-hoc Working Group on Further Commitments for Annex I Parties under the Kyoto Protocol (AWG-KP) aimed at reaching at a fair equitable and legally binding agreement that ensures a successful COP 16CMP 6 in Mexico gt

NOTING the large number of countries associating themselves with the Copenhagen Accord

RECOGNIZING that the Southeast Asian region is also vulnerable to climate change which will seriously affect most of aspects of livelihood and limit our development options for the future including our efforts towards the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals

ASEAN LEADERS STATEMENT ON SUSTAINED RECOVERY AND DEVELOPMENT

We the Heads of StateGovernment of the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) met in Ha Noi

Viet Nam on 8-9 April 2010 for the 16th ASEAN Summit We discussed the situation of the global economy

and were pleased to note that it is showing signs of recovery from the global financial and economic crisis

although this recovery is expected to be slow Nonetheless we believe that ASEANs inherent dynamism

will help the region sustain its recovery and attain higher economic growth

We are detennined for ASEAN to sustain its recovery in the aftermath of the global financial crisis and economic

downturn We therefore re-affirm our commitment towards regional integration and building the ASEAN

Commupity and re-affirm our willingness and readiness to participate in coordinated efforts towards sustained

global economic recovery as follows

1 Ensuring Financial Stability in ASEAN and Sustained Recovery

We will cooperate in restoring the health of financial systems and maintaining supportive macroeconomic

policies We will strengthen regional surveillance and economic monitoring capacities for an early detection of

macro-financial risks and vulnerabilities

We affirm our determination to enhance regional financial stability through such regional initiatives as the Chiangshy

Mai Initiative Multilateralisation (CMIM) and the Asian Bond Markets Initiative (ABMI) the Credit Guarantee

Investment Facility (CGIF) and the ongoing enhancement of the ASEAN Surveillance Office We reiterate our

willingness to achieve a more balanced international financial architecture by participating in reforms of financial

regulations prudential frameworks and International Financial Institutions

We will maintain monetary and fiscal support while preparing for orderly unwinding of expansionary policies until

the recovery is on a finn footing We note that as market conditions and the economic outlook are improving we

need to reconsider the continued support of monetary and fiscal policies for sustained recovery and resumption of

private credit flows in our economies

We affirm the need to start working on mechanisms to reverse the fiscal and monetary stimulus and then phase out

these policy accommodations We are fully confident that at the appropriate time we will be able to do so

effectively to ensure sustained recovery and development We welcome the inaugural Informal East Asia Summit

(EAS) Finance Ministers Meeting in May 2010 in Tashkent Uzbekistan

2 Enhancing ASEAN Economic Integration

We re-affirm our resolve to realise the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) which will establish ASEAN as a

single market and production base by 2015 We task all the AEC Council Ministers and officials concerned to

ensure that the AEC Blueprint and the strategic schedules contained therein are implemented in a timely manner

We will enhance cooperation and dialogue with our Dialogue Partners especially in implementing fully the

The ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community Council

2009-2010

Introduction

After the ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community (ASCC)

14th Blueprint was approved by the ASEAN Leaders at the ASEAN

Summit in Clia-am Hua Hin Thailand in March 2009 the Socio-Cultural

Community Council (ASCC Council) convened its first meeting on 24 )f

August 2009 and the second meeting on 22 October 2009 Both the

meetings were chaired by HE Mr Kasit Piromya Minister of Foreign

Affairs of Thailand in his capacity as the Chair of ASCC

The First and the Second ASCC Council Meetings have

identified some priorities under the ASCC Blueprint as followsshy

1 ASEAN Awareness and Community Building

With people at its heart and their participation as the basis of

creating a Community of and for the peoples the First ASCC Council

Meeting identified the need to cultivate better historical and cultural

understanding between the peoples especially at the grass roots level

This is key for ASEAN to move forward with a common vision and

aspiration while appreciating its political economic and socio-cultural

diversities Promoting ASEAN awareness through shared identity and

cultural heritage would be fundamentally important in building the

ASEAN Community

2 Education

At the First meeting of the ASCC Council in August 2009

the meeting highlighted the need to empower people through education

in order to successfully realize the ASEAN Community Education could

also support ASEAN Awareness and ASEAN Connectivity both in terms

of physical infrastructure as well as spiritual and cultural connectivity to

15th create the feeling of being an ASEAN citizen At the ASEAN

Summit in October 2009 ASEAN Leaders under the recommendation of

the ASCC Council endorsed the Cha-am Hua Hin Declaration on

Strengthening Cooperation on Education to Achieve an ASEAN Caring

and Sharing Community

ABEAN agreed to highlight and maximize the richness and

diversity of cultures through art heritage and cultural activities in the

region as well as through media cooperation and networking to promote

ASEAN awareness and identity In Thailand the ASEAN Association of

Thailand has been established to be the main vehicle to promote ASEAN

awareness the community building process as well as how ASEAN as an

organization could bring about greater benefit to the people in the region

In addition the ASEAN Education Ministers are in the

process of drawing up the ASEANs Five Year Work Plan on Education

which is aimed at enhancing education standards and promoting ASEAN

community

3 The Promotion and Protection of the Rights of Women and

Children

On the human rights front the ASCC Council in close

collaboration with the ASEAN Ministers Meeting on Social Welfare and

Development (AMMSWD) and the ASEAN Committee on Women

(ACW) successfully concluded the Term of Reference of the ASEAN

Commission on the Promotion and Protection of the Rights of Women

and Children (ACWC) which would be launched at the 16th ASEAN

Summit in Ha Noi Viet Nam The ASCC firmly believes that the ACWC

is an integral part that would complement the ASEAN Commission on

Human Rights (AICHR) on ensuring greater promotion and protection of

human rights in ASEAN

4 Other issues that affect livelihood and well-being of the people in

the region

The ASCC Council has also strived to move forward with

the issues that affect the livelihood and the well-being of the peoples in

the region through implementing the ASCC Blueprint which would serve

as the roadmap to realizing the people-centered ASEAN Community

They include joint responses and cooperation on natural disasters health

and infectious diseases environment the attainment of the Millennium

Development Goal (MDGs) poverty eradication and the social impact of

the global financial crisis as well as the ASEAN Connectivity These

have been reflected through various Leaders declarationsstatements at

the 14th and is ASEAN Summits

In addition there are plans to effectively address the

problems of poverty and health standards through the possible setting up

of funds or financing schemes to support livelihood and employment

projects

5 ASEAN Connectivity

As ASEAN Leaders have put ASEAN Connectivity at the

top of the agenda of ASEAN Community Building it is important not

only to enhance infrastructure linkages within the region but to put

human factor into the process of building an ASEAN Community Not

only would ASEAN Connectivity lead to enhanced infrastructure

networks but connectivity should incorporate better linkages and better

understanding across the whole spectrum of ASEAN peoples The first

High Level Task Force on ASEAN Connectivity was convened in March

2010 and agreed on the need to include promoting education and

ASEAN cultural understanding in the Master Plan for ASEAN

Connectivity The ASCC Council should forge ahead with the

community building process that would make ASEAN Community a

diverse and culturally rich people-centered and socially responsible

community while uplifting the well-being of the people in this region

We the Heads of StateGovernment of the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) met in Ha Noi

Viet Nam on 8-9 April 2010 for the 16th ASEAN Summit We discussed the situation of the global economy

and were pleased to note that it is showing signs of recovery from the global financial and economic crisis

although this recovery is expected to be slow Nonetheless we believe that ASEANs inherent dynamism

will help the region sustain its recovery and attain higher economic growth

We are detennined for ASEAN to sustain its recovery in the aftermath of the global financial crisis and economic

downturn We therefore re-affirm our commitment towards regional integration and building the ASEAN

Commupity and re-affirm our willingness and readiness to participate in coordinated efforts towards sustained

global economic recovery as follows

1 Ensuring Financial Stability in ASEAN and Sustained Recovery

We will cooperate in restoring the health of financial systems and maintaining supportive macroeconomic

policies We will strengthen regional surveillance and economic monitoring capacities for an early detection of

macro-financial risks and vulnerabilities

Investment Facility (CGIF) and the ongoing enhancement of the ASEAN Surveillance Office We reiterate our

willingness to achieve a more balanced international financial architecture by participating in reforms of financial

regulations prudential frameworks and International Financial Institutions

We will maintain monetary and fiscal support while preparing for orderly unwinding of expansionary policies until

the recovery is on a finn footing We note that as market conditions and the economic outlook are improving we

need to reconsider the continued support of monetary and fiscal policies for sustained recovery and resumption of

private credit flows in our economies

We affirm the need to start working on mechanisms to reverse the fiscal and monetary stimulus and then phase out

these policy accommodations We are fully confident that at the appropriate time we will be able to do so

effectively to ensure sustained recovery and development We welcome the inaugural Informal East Asia Summit

(EAS) Finance Ministers Meeting in May 2010 in Tashkent Uzbekistan

2 Enhancing ASEAN Economic Integration

We re-affirm our resolve to realise the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) which will establish ASEAN as a

single market and production base by 2015 We task all the AEC Council Ministers and officials concerned to

ensure that the AEC Blueprint and the strategic schedules contained therein are implemented in a timely manner

We will enhance cooperation and dialogue with our Dialogue Partners especially in implementing fully the

agreements signed and addressing regional and global challenges

We will continue to reject protectionism re-affirm our commitment to refrain from raising new barriers to trade and

investment and keep our markets open We remain committed to the WTO Doha Development Agenda and look

forward to the early and successful conclusion of the Doha Round

Leaders Declaration made in Singapore in November 2009 particularly on the importance of an ambitious and

2

balanced conclusion of the Doha Development Agenda the continued rejection of protectionism and delivering a

global stimulus package to sustain global economic recovery ASEAN strongly believes that it can contribute to the

deliberations of the G-20 through the continued participation of the ASEAN Chair and the ASEAN Se~retaryshy

General in future G-20 Summits

3 Fostering Infrastructure Development

We re-affirm the importance of regional infrastructure development and enhancing connectivity that will playa

crucial role in achieving sustainable global economic recovery through enhanced trade investment tourism and

development We announced the ASEAN Connectivity Initiative at our 15th ASEAN Summit in Thailand in October

2009 to focus our resources and efforts in deepening connectivity within ASEAN and its sub-regional groupings

and in the broader regional framework of East Asia In this regard we task the High Level Task Force on ASEAN

Connectivity to develop the Master Plan on ASEAN Connectivity with recommended measures targets and

tlrnelines-necessary to achieve ASEAN Connectivity for the consideration of the ASEAN Member States We take

note otseveral ASEAN Dialogue Partners interest in ASEAN Connectivity during the Post Ministerial Conferences

and Summits in 2009 and therefore encourage their support towards the full implementation of the Master Plan on

ASEAN Connectivity

We re-affirm the importance of mobilising the regions savings to finance the huge infrastructure needs in the

region In this regard weare encouraged by the progress made under the ASEAN Infrastructure Financing

Mechanism (AIFM) We urge Member States to continue to explore effective financing instruments and policies

including a possible ASEAN Infrastructure Fund for viable regional infrastructure investments

We agree to enhance efforts to pursue physical infrastructure development and the policy and institutional

development in transport ICT and energy sectors in facilitation of transport and logistics necessary to realise

effective connectivity which would reinforce ASEANs position as a hub of the East Asian regi6n for transport

as well as the implementation of the ASEAN Plan of Action for Energy Cooperation (APAEC) 2010-2015 by the

relevant ASEAN Ministers in 2010 to further enhance coherence in the regional connectivity agenda and the priority

measures for intraregional transport energy and information and communication linkages

We recognise that sub-regional cooperation arrangements such as the Brunei-lndonesia-Malaysia-Philippines

East ASEAN Growth Area (BIMP-EAGA) Indonesia-Malaysia-Thailand Growth Triangle (IMT-GT) Greater Mekong

Sub-Region (GMS) Cambodia - Laos - Viet Nam (CLV) Development Triangle and Ayeyawady - Chao Phrayashy

Mekong Economic Cooperation Strategy (ACMECS) are effective mechanisms to accelerate the implementation of

the regional initiatives In this regard we welcome the work that has been done by these sub-regions and look

forward to consolidating and prioritising existing work plans on connectivity into the Master Plan taking into

account related existing sub-regional cooperation frameworks We also look forward to the implementation of more

projects in the sub-regions to contribute to the narrowing of the development divide and enabling the sub-regions to

link with the rest of ASEAN region and beyond

reiterate our commitment to ensure that economic development in our region is consistent with the long term

sustainability of our natural resources

We stress the importance of the promotion of creative economy in paving the way for future growth based on

creativity innovation and protection of intellectual property rights We believe that the creative economy which

draws on ASEANs rich cultural heritage combined with creative inputs from people in ASEAN will add substantial

value to its goods and services and will help promote sustainable growth in the region

We affirm ASEANs commitment to fully address socio-economic disparities and poverty that persist across ASEAN

Member States by developing and implementing an ASEAN Roadmap towards realising the Millennium

Development Goals (MDG) To this end we renew our commitment in the Joint Declaration on the Attainment of

the Millennium Development Goals in ASEAN underscoring the importance of better coordination and participation

of all key stakeholders including public and private sector civil societies and UN specialised agencies in

implementing the MDGs We call upon ASEAN Member States to continue supporting the initiatives for poverty

reduction towards narrowing the development gap within ASEAN and promoting self-reliance of families living

under poverty

The ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community Council

2009-2010

Introduction

After the ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community (ASCC)

14th Blueprint was approved by the ASEAN Leaders at the ASEAN

Summit in Clia-am Hua Hin Thailand in March 2009 the Socio-Cultural

Community Council (ASCC Council) convened its first meeting on 24 )f

August 2009 and the second meeting on 22 October 2009 Both the

meetings were chaired by HE Mr Kasit Piromya Minister of Foreign

Affairs of Thailand in his capacity as the Chair of ASCC

The First and the Second ASCC Council Meetings have

identified some priorities under the ASCC Blueprint as followsshy

1 ASEAN Awareness and Community Building

With people at its heart and their participation as the basis of

creating a Community of and for the peoples the First ASCC Council

Meeting identified the need to cultivate better historical and cultural

understanding between the peoples especially at the grass roots level

This is key for ASEAN to move forward with a common vision and

aspiration while appreciating its political economic and socio-cultural

diversities Promoting ASEAN awareness through shared identity and

cultural heritage would be fundamentally important in building the

ASEAN Community

2 Education

At the First meeting of the ASCC Council in August 2009

the meeting highlighted the need to empower people through education

in order to successfully realize the ASEAN Community Education could

also support ASEAN Awareness and ASEAN Connectivity both in terms

of physical infrastructure as well as spiritual and cultural connectivity to

15th create the feeling of being an ASEAN citizen At the ASEAN

Summit in October 2009 ASEAN Leaders under the recommendation of

the ASCC Council endorsed the Cha-am Hua Hin Declaration on

Strengthening Cooperation on Education to Achieve an ASEAN Caring

and Sharing Community

ABEAN agreed to highlight and maximize the richness and

diversity of cultures through art heritage and cultural activities in the

region as well as through media cooperation and networking to promote

ASEAN awareness and identity In Thailand the ASEAN Association of

Thailand has been established to be the main vehicle to promote ASEAN

awareness the community building process as well as how ASEAN as an

organization could bring about greater benefit to the people in the region

In addition the ASEAN Education Ministers are in the

process of drawing up the ASEANs Five Year Work Plan on Education

which is aimed at enhancing education standards and promoting ASEAN

community

3 The Promotion and Protection of the Rights of Women and

Children

On the human rights front the ASCC Council in close

collaboration with the ASEAN Ministers Meeting on Social Welfare and

Development (AMMSWD) and the ASEAN Committee on Women

(ACW) successfully concluded the Term of Reference of the ASEAN

Commission on the Promotion and Protection of the Rights of Women

and Children (ACWC) which would be launched at the 16th ASEAN

Summit in Ha Noi Viet Nam The ASCC firmly believes that the ACWC

is an integral part that would complement the ASEAN Commission on

Human Rights (AICHR) on ensuring greater promotion and protection of

human rights in ASEAN

4 Other issues that affect livelihood and well-being of the people in

the region

The ASCC Council has also strived to move forward with

the issues that affect the livelihood and the well-being of the peoples in

the region through implementing the ASCC Blueprint which would serve

as the roadmap to realizing the people-centered ASEAN Community

They include joint responses and cooperation on natural disasters health

and infectious diseases environment the attainment of the Millennium

Development Goal (MDGs) poverty eradication and the social impact of

the global financial crisis as well as the ASEAN Connectivity These

have been reflected through various Leaders declarationsstatements at

the 14th and is ASEAN Summits

In addition there are plans to effectively address the

problems of poverty and health standards through the possible setting up

of funds or financing schemes to support livelihood and employment

projects

5 ASEAN Connectivity

As ASEAN Leaders have put ASEAN Connectivity at the

top of the agenda of ASEAN Community Building it is important not

only to enhance infrastructure linkages within the region but to put

human factor into the process of building an ASEAN Community Not

only would ASEAN Connectivity lead to enhanced infrastructure

networks but connectivity should incorporate better linkages and better

understanding across the whole spectrum of ASEAN peoples The first

High Level Task Force on ASEAN Connectivity was convened in March

2010 and agreed on the need to include promoting education and

ASEAN cultural understanding in the Master Plan for ASEAN

Connectivity The ASCC Council should forge ahead with the

community building process that would make ASEAN Community a

diverse and culturally rich people-centered and socially responsible

community while uplifting the well-being of the people in this region

ASEAN LEADERS STATEMENT ON SUSTAINED RECOVERY AND DEVELOPMENT

We the Heads of StateGovernment of the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) met in Ha Noi

Viet Nam on 8-9 April 2010 for the 16th ASEAN Summit We discussed the situation of the global economy

and were pleased to note that it is showing signs of recovery from the global financial and economic crisis

although this recovery is expected to be slow Nonetheless we believe that ASEANs inherent dynamism

will help the region sustain its recovery and attain higher economic growth

We are detennined for ASEAN to sustain its recovery in the aftermath of the global financial crisis and economic

downturn We therefore re-affirm our commitment towards regional integration and building the ASEAN

Commupity and re-affirm our willingness and readiness to participate in coordinated efforts towards sustained

global economic recovery as follows

1 Ensuring Financial Stability in ASEAN and Sustained Recovery

We will cooperate in restoring the health of financial systems and maintaining supportive macroeconomic

policies We will strengthen regional surveillance and economic monitoring capacities for an early detection of

macro-financial risks and vulnerabilities

We affirm our determination to enhance regional financial stability through such regional initiatives as the Chiangshy

Mai Initiative Multilateralisation (CMIM) and the Asian Bond Markets Initiative (ABMI) the Credit Guarantee

Investment Facility (CGIF) and the ongoing enhancement of the ASEAN Surveillance Office We reiterate our

willingness to achieve a more balanced international financial architecture by participating in reforms of financial

regulations prudential frameworks and International Financial Institutions

We will maintain monetary and fiscal support while preparing for orderly unwinding of expansionary policies until

the recovery is on a finn footing We note that as market conditions and the economic outlook are improving we

need to reconsider the continued support of monetary and fiscal policies for sustained recovery and resumption of

private credit flows in our economies

We affirm the need to start working on mechanisms to reverse the fiscal and monetary stimulus and then phase out

these policy accommodations We are fully confident that at the appropriate time we will be able to do so

effectively to ensure sustained recovery and development We welcome the inaugural Informal East Asia Summit

(EAS) Finance Ministers Meeting in May 2010 in Tashkent Uzbekistan

2 Enhancing ASEAN Economic Integration

We re-affirm our resolve to realise the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) which will establish ASEAN as a

single market and production base by 2015 We task all the AEC Council Ministers and officials concerned to

ensure that the AEC Blueprint and the strategic schedules contained therein are implemented in a timely manner

We will enhance cooperation and dialogue with our Dialogue Partners especially in implementing fully the

agreements signed and addressing regional and global challenges

We will continue to reject protectionism re-affirm our commitment to refrain from raising new barriers to trade and

investment and keep our markets open We remain committed to the WTO Doha Development Agenda and look

forward to the early and successful conclusion of the Doha Round

We welcome the G-20 Leaders Statement made at the Pittsburgh Summit in September 2009 and the APEC

Leaders Declaration made in Singapore in November 2009 particularly on the importance of an ambitious and

2

balanced conclusion of the Doha Development Agenda the continued rejection of protectionism and delivering a

global stimulus package to sustain global economic recovery ASEAN strongly believes that it can contribute to the

deliberations of the G-20 through the continued participation of the ASEAN Chair and the ASEAN Se~retaryshy

General in future G-20 Summits

3 Fostering Infrastructure Development

We re-affirm the importance of regional infrastructure development and enhancing connectivity that will playa

crucial role in achieving sustainable global economic recovery through enhanced trade investment tourism and

development We announced the ASEAN Connectivity Initiative at our 15th ASEAN Summit in Thailand in October

2009 to focus our resources and efforts in deepening connectivity within ASEAN and its sub-regional groupings

and in the broader regional framework of East Asia In this regard we task the High Level Task Force on ASEAN

Connectivity to develop the Master Plan on ASEAN Connectivity with recommended measures targets and

tlrnelines-necessary to achieve ASEAN Connectivity for the consideration of the ASEAN Member States We take

note otseveral ASEAN Dialogue Partners interest in ASEAN Connectivity during the Post Ministerial Conferences

and Summits in 2009 and therefore encourage their support towards the full implementation of the Master Plan on

ASEAN Connectivity

We re-affirm the importance of mobilising the regions savings to finance the huge infrastructure needs in the

region In this regard weare encouraged by the progress made under the ASEAN Infrastructure Financing

Mechanism (AIFM) We urge Member States to continue to explore effective financing instruments and policies

including a possible ASEAN Infrastructure Fund for viable regional infrastructure investments

We agree to enhance efforts to pursue physical infrastructure development and the policy and institutional

development in transport ICT and energy sectors in facilitation of transport and logistics necessary to realise

effective connectivity which would reinforce ASEANs position as a hub of the East Asian regi6n for transport

information technology tourism energy and logistics We task the relevant Ministers particularly the ASEAN

on Energy (AMEM) to expedite the completion of the vital physical road rail air inland waterways sea gas and

power linkages within ASEAN as well as the implementation of the multilateral agreements phasing in ASEAN

Open Skies and the ASEAN framework agreements on inter-state transport multimodal transport facilitation of

goods in transit regional gas pipeline connections and power grid We look forward to the completion and

adoption of the ASEAN Strategic Transport Plan (ASTP) 2011-2015 and the ASEAN ICT Master Plan 2011-2015

as well as the implementation of the ASEAN Plan of Action for Energy Cooperation (APAEC) 2010-2015 by the

relevant ASEAN Ministers in 2010 to further enhance coherence in the regional connectivity agenda and the priority

measures for intraregional transport energy and information and communication linkages

We recognise that sub-regional cooperation arrangements such as the Brunei-lndonesia-Malaysia-Philippines

East ASEAN Growth Area (BIMP-EAGA) Indonesia-Malaysia-Thailand Growth Triangle (IMT-GT) Greater Mekong

Sub-Region (GMS) Cambodia - Laos - Viet Nam (CLV) Development Triangle and Ayeyawady - Chao Phrayashy

Mekong Economic Cooperation Strategy (ACMECS) are effective mechanisms to accelerate the implementation of

the regional initiatives In this regard we welcome the work that has been done by these sub-regions and look

forward to consolidating and prioritising existing work plans on connectivity into the Master Plan taking into

account related existing sub-regional cooperation frameworks We also look forward to the implementation of more

projects in the sub-regions to contribute to the narrowing of the development divide and enabling the sub-regions to

link with the rest of ASEAN region and beyond

sustainable use of natural resources in order to diversify and ensure resilience of our economy In this respect we

reiterate our commitment to ensure that economic development in our region is consistent with the long term

sustainability of our natural resources

We stress the importance of the promotion of creative economy in paving the way for future growth based on

creativity innovation and protection of intellectual property rights We believe that the creative economy which

draws on ASEANs rich cultural heritage combined with creative inputs from people in ASEAN will add substantial

value to its goods and services and will help promote sustainable growth in the region

We affirm ASEANs commitment to fully address socio-economic disparities and poverty that persist across ASEAN

Member States by developing and implementing an ASEAN Roadmap towards realising the Millennium

Development Goals (MDG) To this end we renew our commitment in the Joint Declaration on the Attainment of

the Millennium Development Goals in ASEAN underscoring the importance of better coordination and participation

of all key stakeholders including public and private sector civil societies and UN specialised agencies in

implementing the MDGs We call upon ASEAN Member States to continue supporting the initiatives for poverty

The ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community Council

2009-2010

Introduction

After the ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community (ASCC)

14th Blueprint was approved by the ASEAN Leaders at the ASEAN

Summit in Clia-am Hua Hin Thailand in March 2009 the Socio-Cultural

Community Council (ASCC Council) convened its first meeting on 24 )f

August 2009 and the second meeting on 22 October 2009 Both the

meetings were chaired by HE Mr Kasit Piromya Minister of Foreign

Affairs of Thailand in his capacity as the Chair of ASCC

The First and the Second ASCC Council Meetings have

identified some priorities under the ASCC Blueprint as followsshy

1 ASEAN Awareness and Community Building

With people at its heart and their participation as the basis of

creating a Community of and for the peoples the First ASCC Council

Meeting identified the need to cultivate better historical and cultural

understanding between the peoples especially at the grass roots level

This is key for ASEAN to move forward with a common vision and

aspiration while appreciating its political economic and socio-cultural

diversities Promoting ASEAN awareness through shared identity and

cultural heritage would be fundamentally important in building the

ASEAN Community

2 Education

At the First meeting of the ASCC Council in August 2009

the meeting highlighted the need to empower people through education

in order to successfully realize the ASEAN Community Education could

also support ASEAN Awareness and ASEAN Connectivity both in terms

of physical infrastructure as well as spiritual and cultural connectivity to

15th create the feeling of being an ASEAN citizen At the ASEAN

Summit in October 2009 ASEAN Leaders under the recommendation of

the ASCC Council endorsed the Cha-am Hua Hin Declaration on

Strengthening Cooperation on Education to Achieve an ASEAN Caring

and Sharing Community

ABEAN agreed to highlight and maximize the richness and

diversity of cultures through art heritage and cultural activities in the

region as well as through media cooperation and networking to promote

ASEAN awareness and identity In Thailand the ASEAN Association of

Thailand has been established to be the main vehicle to promote ASEAN

awareness the community building process as well as how ASEAN as an

organization could bring about greater benefit to the people in the region

In addition the ASEAN Education Ministers are in the

process of drawing up the ASEANs Five Year Work Plan on Education

which is aimed at enhancing education standards and promoting ASEAN

community

3 The Promotion and Protection of the Rights of Women and

Children

On the human rights front the ASCC Council in close

collaboration with the ASEAN Ministers Meeting on Social Welfare and

Development (AMMSWD) and the ASEAN Committee on Women

(ACW) successfully concluded the Term of Reference of the ASEAN

Commission on the Promotion and Protection of the Rights of Women

and Children (ACWC) which would be launched at the 16th ASEAN

Summit in Ha Noi Viet Nam The ASCC firmly believes that the ACWC

is an integral part that would complement the ASEAN Commission on

Human Rights (AICHR) on ensuring greater promotion and protection of

human rights in ASEAN

4 Other issues that affect livelihood and well-being of the people in

the region

The ASCC Council has also strived to move forward with

the issues that affect the livelihood and the well-being of the peoples in

the region through implementing the ASCC Blueprint which would serve

as the roadmap to realizing the people-centered ASEAN Community

They include joint responses and cooperation on natural disasters health

and infectious diseases environment the attainment of the Millennium

Development Goal (MDGs) poverty eradication and the social impact of

the global financial crisis as well as the ASEAN Connectivity These

have been reflected through various Leaders declarationsstatements at

the 14th and is ASEAN Summits

In addition there are plans to effectively address the

problems of poverty and health standards through the possible setting up

of funds or financing schemes to support livelihood and employment

projects

5 ASEAN Connectivity

As ASEAN Leaders have put ASEAN Connectivity at the

top of the agenda of ASEAN Community Building it is important not

only to enhance infrastructure linkages within the region but to put

human factor into the process of building an ASEAN Community Not

networks but connectivity should incorporate better linkages and better

understanding across the whole spectrum of ASEAN peoples The first

High Level Task Force on ASEAN Connectivity was convened in March

2010 and agreed on the need to include promoting education and

ASEAN cultural understanding in the Master Plan for ASEAN

community building process that would make ASEAN Community a

REAFFIRMING that the UNFCCC and its Kyoto Protocol constitute the current legal framework and legal instrument for the international community to combat global climate change and that comprehensive effective and binding outcomes of the Bali Roadmap are essential for furthering the implementation of the UNFCCC and the Kyoto Protocol and should be addressed by a consensusshybased and transparent manner

FURTHER REAFFIRMING the principle of equity and in accordance with their common but differentiated responsibilities and respective capabilities and national circumstances

UNDERSTANDING that while the Copenhagen Accord is not a legally binding instrument it provides elements that could be considered as inputs to the two-track process of the Ad-hoc Working Group on Long-term Cooperative Actions (AWG-LCA) and the Ad-hoc Working Group on Further Commitments for Annex I Parties under the Kyoto Protocol (AWG-KP) aimed at reaching at a fair equitable and legally binding agreement that ensures a successful COP 16CMP 6 in Mexico gt

NOTING the large number of countries associating themselves with the Copenhagen Accord

RECOGNIZING that the Southeast Asian region is also vulnerable to climate change which will seriously affect most of aspects of livelihood and limit our development options for the future including our efforts towards the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals

ASEAN LEADERS STATEMENT ON SUSTAINED RECOVERY AND DEVELOPMENT

We the Heads of StateGovernment of the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) met in Ha Noi

Viet Nam on 8-9 April 2010 for the 16th ASEAN Summit We discussed the situation of the global economy

and were pleased to note that it is showing signs of recovery from the global financial and economic crisis

although this recovery is expected to be slow Nonetheless we believe that ASEANs inherent dynamism

will help the region sustain its recovery and attain higher economic growth

We are detennined for ASEAN to sustain its recovery in the aftermath of the global financial crisis and economic

downturn We therefore re-affirm our commitment towards regional integration and building the ASEAN

Commupity and re-affirm our willingness and readiness to participate in coordinated efforts towards sustained

global economic recovery as follows

1 Ensuring Financial Stability in ASEAN and Sustained Recovery

We will cooperate in restoring the health of financial systems and maintaining supportive macroeconomic

policies We will strengthen regional surveillance and economic monitoring capacities for an early detection of

macro-financial risks and vulnerabilities

We affirm our determination to enhance regional financial stability through such regional initiatives as the Chiangshy

Mai Initiative Multilateralisation (CMIM) and the Asian Bond Markets Initiative (ABMI) the Credit Guarantee

Investment Facility (CGIF) and the ongoing enhancement of the ASEAN Surveillance Office We reiterate our

willingness to achieve a more balanced international financial architecture by participating in reforms of financial

regulations prudential frameworks and International Financial Institutions

We will maintain monetary and fiscal support while preparing for orderly unwinding of expansionary policies until

the recovery is on a finn footing We note that as market conditions and the economic outlook are improving we

need to reconsider the continued support of monetary and fiscal policies for sustained recovery and resumption of

private credit flows in our economies

We affirm the need to start working on mechanisms to reverse the fiscal and monetary stimulus and then phase out

these policy accommodations We are fully confident that at the appropriate time we will be able to do so

effectively to ensure sustained recovery and development We welcome the inaugural Informal East Asia Summit

(EAS) Finance Ministers Meeting in May 2010 in Tashkent Uzbekistan

2 Enhancing ASEAN Economic Integration

We re-affirm our resolve to realise the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) which will establish ASEAN as a

single market and production base by 2015 We task all the AEC Council Ministers and officials concerned to

ensure that the AEC Blueprint and the strategic schedules contained therein are implemented in a timely manner

We will enhance cooperation and dialogue with our Dialogue Partners especially in implementing fully the

agreements signed and addressing regional and global challenges

We will continue to reject protectionism re-affirm our commitment to refrain from raising new barriers to trade and

investment and keep our markets open We remain committed to the WTO Doha Development Agenda and look

forward to the early and successful conclusion of the Doha Round

We welcome the G-20 Leaders Statement made at the Pittsburgh Summit in September 2009 and the APEC

Leaders Declaration made in Singapore in November 2009 particularly on the importance of an ambitious and

2

balanced conclusion of the Doha Development Agenda the continued rejection of protectionism and delivering a

global stimulus package to sustain global economic recovery ASEAN strongly believes that it can contribute to the

development We announced the ASEAN Connectivity Initiative at our 15th ASEAN Summit in Thailand in October

2009 to focus our resources and efforts in deepening connectivity within ASEAN and its sub-regional groupings

and in the broader regional framework of East Asia In this regard we task the High Level Task Force on ASEAN

Connectivity to develop the Master Plan on ASEAN Connectivity with recommended measures targets and

tlrnelines-necessary to achieve ASEAN Connectivity for the consideration of the ASEAN Member States We take

region In this regard weare encouraged by the progress made under the ASEAN Infrastructure Financing

Mechanism (AIFM) We urge Member States to continue to explore effective financing instruments and policies

including a possible ASEAN Infrastructure Fund for viable regional infrastructure investments

We agree to enhance efforts to pursue physical infrastructure development and the policy and institutional

development in transport ICT and energy sectors in facilitation of transport and logistics necessary to realise

effective connectivity which would reinforce ASEANs position as a hub of the East Asian regi6n for transport

the regional initiatives In this regard we welcome the work that has been done by these sub-regions and look

forward to consolidating and prioritising existing work plans on connectivity into the Master Plan taking into

account related existing sub-regional cooperation frameworks We also look forward to the implementation of more

projects in the sub-regions to contribute to the narrowing of the development divide and enabling the sub-regions to

link with the rest of ASEAN region and beyond

The ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community Council

2009-2010

Introduction

After the ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community (ASCC)

14th Blueprint was approved by the ASEAN Leaders at the ASEAN

Summit in Clia-am Hua Hin Thailand in March 2009 the Socio-Cultural

Community Council (ASCC Council) convened its first meeting on 24 )f

August 2009 and the second meeting on 22 October 2009 Both the

meetings were chaired by HE Mr Kasit Piromya Minister of Foreign

Affairs of Thailand in his capacity as the Chair of ASCC

The First and the Second ASCC Council Meetings have

identified some priorities under the ASCC Blueprint as followsshy

1 ASEAN Awareness and Community Building

With people at its heart and their participation as the basis of

creating a Community of and for the peoples the First ASCC Council

Meeting identified the need to cultivate better historical and cultural

understanding between the peoples especially at the grass roots level

This is key for ASEAN to move forward with a common vision and

aspiration while appreciating its political economic and socio-cultural

diversities Promoting ASEAN awareness through shared identity and

cultural heritage would be fundamentally important in building the

ASEAN Community

2 Education

At the First meeting of the ASCC Council in August 2009

the meeting highlighted the need to empower people through education

in order to successfully realize the ASEAN Community Education could

also support ASEAN Awareness and ASEAN Connectivity both in terms

of physical infrastructure as well as spiritual and cultural connectivity to

15th create the feeling of being an ASEAN citizen At the ASEAN

Summit in October 2009 ASEAN Leaders under the recommendation of

the ASCC Council endorsed the Cha-am Hua Hin Declaration on

Strengthening Cooperation on Education to Achieve an ASEAN Caring

and Sharing Community

ABEAN agreed to highlight and maximize the richness and

diversity of cultures through art heritage and cultural activities in the

region as well as through media cooperation and networking to promote

ASEAN awareness and identity In Thailand the ASEAN Association of

Thailand has been established to be the main vehicle to promote ASEAN

awareness the community building process as well as how ASEAN as an

organization could bring about greater benefit to the people in the region

In addition the ASEAN Education Ministers are in the

process of drawing up the ASEANs Five Year Work Plan on Education

which is aimed at enhancing education standards and promoting ASEAN

community

3 The Promotion and Protection of the Rights of Women and

Children

On the human rights front the ASCC Council in close

collaboration with the ASEAN Ministers Meeting on Social Welfare and

Development (AMMSWD) and the ASEAN Committee on Women

(ACW) successfully concluded the Term of Reference of the ASEAN

Commission on the Promotion and Protection of the Rights of Women

and Children (ACWC) which would be launched at the 16th ASEAN

Summit in Ha Noi Viet Nam The ASCC firmly believes that the ACWC

is an integral part that would complement the ASEAN Commission on

Human Rights (AICHR) on ensuring greater promotion and protection of

human rights in ASEAN

4 Other issues that affect livelihood and well-being of the people in

the region

The ASCC Council has also strived to move forward with

the issues that affect the livelihood and the well-being of the peoples in

the region through implementing the ASCC Blueprint which would serve

as the roadmap to realizing the people-centered ASEAN Community

They include joint responses and cooperation on natural disasters health

and infectious diseases environment the attainment of the Millennium

Development Goal (MDGs) poverty eradication and the social impact of

the global financial crisis as well as the ASEAN Connectivity These

have been reflected through various Leaders declarationsstatements at

the 14th and is ASEAN Summits

In addition there are plans to effectively address the

problems of poverty and health standards through the possible setting up

of funds or financing schemes to support livelihood and employment

projects

5 ASEAN Connectivity

As ASEAN Leaders have put ASEAN Connectivity at the

top of the agenda of ASEAN Community Building it is important not

only to enhance infrastructure linkages within the region but to put

human factor into the process of building an ASEAN Community Not

only would ASEAN Connectivity lead to enhanced infrastructure

networks but connectivity should incorporate better linkages and better

understanding across the whole spectrum of ASEAN peoples The first

High Level Task Force on ASEAN Connectivity was convened in March

2010 and agreed on the need to include promoting education and

ASEAN cultural understanding in the Master Plan for ASEAN

Connectivity The ASCC Council should forge ahead with the

community building process that would make ASEAN Community a

diverse and culturally rich people-centered and socially responsible

community while uplifting the well-being of the people in this region

climate change as guided by Bali Roadmap that ensures the successful outcome of the 16th Session of the Conference of the Parties (COP 16) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and the 6th Session of the Conference Parties serving as the Meeting of Parties to the Kyoto Protocol (CMP 6)

7 We also agreed to further strengthen ASEAN cooperation to effectively respond to climate change especially on mitigation adaptation and capacity building in areas of mutual interests such as sustainable development environmental protection and water resource management We were convinced that the ASEAN Climate Change Initiative (ACCI) that was established to provide a consultative platform will serve as an initiative that contributes significantly to these endeavours

8 Ie therefore adopted the ASEAN Leaders Statement on Joint _ Response to Climate Change as a concrete manifestation of our collective commitment to address climate change We tasked relevant Ministers and senior officials to implement this Statement and other related agreements including the possibility of developing an ASEAN Action Plan on Climate Change

ASEANs Education and Human Resources Development

9 We agreed that education and human resources development should be given a priority in the process of community building given their crucial role in achieving a resilient dynamic and sustained ASEAN Community and a people-oriented ASEAN Community We were committed to strengthening cooperation on education technical and vocational training and lifelong learning and others We stressed the importance of medium- and long- term measures to upgrade the quality of the workforce and developing a workforce responsive to the job market

10 We tasked our Ministers and senior officials to sustain concrete measures and activities to implement the Cha-am Hua Hin Declaration on Strengthening Cooperation on Education to achieve an ASEAN Caring and Sharing Community

ASEAN Charter

12 We noted with satisfaction important progress in the implementation of the ASEAN Charter which would provide a legal and institutional framework for the ASEAN Community and beyond We were pleased to see that ASEANs new organizational structure has been put in place with the establishment of new bodies namely the ASEAN Coordinating Council (ACC) the Community Councils the Committee of Permanent Representatives to ASEAN (CPR) and the ASEAN Intergovernmental Commission on Human Rights (AICHR) We appreciated the significant progress in developing legal documents necessary for the implementation of the Charter notably the signing of Protocol to the ASEAN Charter on Dispute Settlement Mechariisrns and the Agreement on the Privileges and Immunities of ASEAN among others We resolved to finalise the remaining pending legal documents as soon as possible

13 We stressed the importance of bringing the Charter into life in all aspects at the earliest We therefore instructed our Ministers and senior officials to ensure the close coordination among key bodies improve the working methods and complete a full legal framework for the Charter

ASEAN Community Building

14 We were satisfied with the progress in implementing the Roadmap for an ASEAN Community by 2015 comprising the Blueprints for the ASEAN Political-Security Community (APSC) the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) and the ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community (ASCC) and the 2nd Initiative for ASEAN Integration (IAI) Work Plan (2009-2015) We tasked relevant Ministers and senior officials to speed up the implementation of those agreements through timely ratification of agreements and protocols as well as concrete actions We stressed the need to set up a monitoring mechanism to ensure the effective implementation to clearly identify priorities for each period and

4

implementing bodies and to improve coordination among the pillars and resource mobilization

15 With full commitment to a people-oriented ASEAN we encouraged all sectors of the society to participate actively in the community buildinq process We emphasized the need to enhance the sense of community among ASEAN peoples and to promote the awareness of ASEAN in our partners and the world at large In this connection we commended the adoption of Communication Plans for the three Community Pillars

16 We pledged to do our best to further promote and protect the rights of our people In this regard we were pleased with the operationalisation of AICHR as an overarching institution for regional cooperation on human rights We tasked relevant Ministers to give necessary guidance so that AICHR could finalize its 5 year Work Plan as required by its TOR as early as possible We noted the kind offer of the Philippines to locate the AICHR Headquarters in Manila and requested the Foreign Ministers to consider this issue at a later stage

ASEAN Political-Security Community (APSe)

17 We noted with satisfaction the significant progress achieved in the implementation of the APSC Blueprint and tasked relevant Ministers and senior officials to enhance the utilization of ASEANs existing tools and mechanisms such as the Treaty of Amity and Cooperation in Southeast Asia (TAC) the Southeast Asia Nuclear Weapon-Free Zone Treaty (SEANWFZ) the Declaration of Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea (DOC) the ASEAN Regional Forum (ARF) the ASEAN Defence Ministers Meeting (ADMM) ASEAN Ministerial Meeting on Transnational Crime (AMMTC) and the ASEAN Convention on Counter-Terrorism to ensure regional peace and security We stressed the importance of effective coordination and collaboration among various sectoral bodies under the purview of the APSC and the need for a strategic and holistic approach in the implementation of the APSC Blueprint We commended the APSC Council for adoption of the APSC Communication Plan in January 2010

18 We were encouraged to note that the important role of the TAC as the key code of conduct governing inter-state relations in the region continues to be strengthened with the increasing number of the High Contracting Parties and applicant countries In this regard we welcomed the desire of the EUEC Canada and Turkey to accede to the TAC

19 We reiterated our commitment to implementing the SEANWFZ

5

Treaty and its Plan of Action and urged Nuclear Weapon States to consider their early signing of the SEANWFZ Protocol to further promote Southeast Asia as a Nuclear Weapon-Free Zone

20 We noted that ASEAN has submited the Memorandum on Activities Related to the SEANWFZ Treaty to the 2010 Review Conference of the Parties to the Treaty on Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) which would help highlight the significance of SEANWFZ

21 We noted the progress made in drafting the Ha Noi Plan of Action to Implement the ARF Vision Statement which would further contribute to confidence building peace and stability in the region

22 We welcomed the progress made in defence dialogue and cooperation under the ADMM framework We viewed that an ADMM Plus could help strengthen the existing cooperation on regional defence and security between ASEAN and its Dialogue Partners in accordance with the ADMMs open flexible and outward-looking nature In this connection we agreed on the convening of the ADMM+8 on a regular basis and tasked our Defence Ministers to ensure its early implementation

23 Noting with satisfaction ASEANs ongoing cooperation in nonshytraditional security issues we emphasized the need to fully implement the ASEAN Convention on Counter-Terrorism and its Comprehensive Plan of Action We agreed on the need to further strengthen cooperation and coordination among domestic security agencies of ASEAN Member States

ASEAN Economic Community (AEC)

3rd 24 We welcomed the outcome of the AEC Council Meeting particularly on the progress made in the implementation of the AEC Blueprint We agreed to intensify efforts in intra-ASEAN economic integration stressed the need to finalise all remaining measures and urged for prompt implementation of all our economic integration commitments by all Member States

25 We took note that since the adoption of the AEC Blueprint in November 2007 significant progress has been made towards achieving the AEC Beginning 1 January 2010 995 tariff lines in the ASEANs inclusion lists under the Common Effective Preferential Tariffs for ASEAN Free Trade Area (CEPT-AFTA) stood at 0 to 5 making this the

We the Heads of StateGovernment of the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) met in Ha Noi

Viet Nam on 8-9 April 2010 for the 16th ASEAN Summit We discussed the situation of the global economy

and were pleased to note that it is showing signs of recovery from the global financial and economic crisis

although this recovery is expected to be slow Nonetheless we believe that ASEANs inherent dynamism

will help the region sustain its recovery and attain higher economic growth

We are detennined for ASEAN to sustain its recovery in the aftermath of the global financial crisis and economic

downturn We therefore re-affirm our commitment towards regional integration and building the ASEAN

Commupity and re-affirm our willingness and readiness to participate in coordinated efforts towards sustained

global economic recovery as follows

1 Ensuring Financial Stability in ASEAN and Sustained Recovery

We will cooperate in restoring the health of financial systems and maintaining supportive macroeconomic

policies We will strengthen regional surveillance and economic monitoring capacities for an early detection of

macro-financial risks and vulnerabilities

Investment Facility (CGIF) and the ongoing enhancement of the ASEAN Surveillance Office We reiterate our

willingness to achieve a more balanced international financial architecture by participating in reforms of financial

regulations prudential frameworks and International Financial Institutions

We will maintain monetary and fiscal support while preparing for orderly unwinding of expansionary policies until

the recovery is on a finn footing We note that as market conditions and the economic outlook are improving we

need to reconsider the continued support of monetary and fiscal policies for sustained recovery and resumption of

private credit flows in our economies

We affirm the need to start working on mechanisms to reverse the fiscal and monetary stimulus and then phase out

these policy accommodations We are fully confident that at the appropriate time we will be able to do so

effectively to ensure sustained recovery and development We welcome the inaugural Informal East Asia Summit

(EAS) Finance Ministers Meeting in May 2010 in Tashkent Uzbekistan

2 Enhancing ASEAN Economic Integration

We re-affirm our resolve to realise the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) which will establish ASEAN as a

single market and production base by 2015 We task all the AEC Council Ministers and officials concerned to

ensure that the AEC Blueprint and the strategic schedules contained therein are implemented in a timely manner

We will enhance cooperation and dialogue with our Dialogue Partners especially in implementing fully the

agreements signed and addressing regional and global challenges

We will continue to reject protectionism re-affirm our commitment to refrain from raising new barriers to trade and

investment and keep our markets open We remain committed to the WTO Doha Development Agenda and look

forward to the early and successful conclusion of the Doha Round

Leaders Declaration made in Singapore in November 2009 particularly on the importance of an ambitious and

2

balanced conclusion of the Doha Development Agenda the continued rejection of protectionism and delivering a

global stimulus package to sustain global economic recovery ASEAN strongly believes that it can contribute to the

deliberations of the G-20 through the continued participation of the ASEAN Chair and the ASEAN Se~retaryshy

General in future G-20 Summits

3 Fostering Infrastructure Development

We re-affirm the importance of regional infrastructure development and enhancing connectivity that will playa

crucial role in achieving sustainable global economic recovery through enhanced trade investment tourism and

development We announced the ASEAN Connectivity Initiative at our 15th ASEAN Summit in Thailand in October

2009 to focus our resources and efforts in deepening connectivity within ASEAN and its sub-regional groupings

and in the broader regional framework of East Asia In this regard we task the High Level Task Force on ASEAN

Connectivity to develop the Master Plan on ASEAN Connectivity with recommended measures targets and

tlrnelines-necessary to achieve ASEAN Connectivity for the consideration of the ASEAN Member States We take

note otseveral ASEAN Dialogue Partners interest in ASEAN Connectivity during the Post Ministerial Conferences

and Summits in 2009 and therefore encourage their support towards the full implementation of the Master Plan on

ASEAN Connectivity

We re-affirm the importance of mobilising the regions savings to finance the huge infrastructure needs in the

region In this regard weare encouraged by the progress made under the ASEAN Infrastructure Financing

Mechanism (AIFM) We urge Member States to continue to explore effective financing instruments and policies

including a possible ASEAN Infrastructure Fund for viable regional infrastructure investments

We agree to enhance efforts to pursue physical infrastructure development and the policy and institutional

development in transport ICT and energy sectors in facilitation of transport and logistics necessary to realise

as well as the implementation of the ASEAN Plan of Action for Energy Cooperation (APAEC) 2010-2015 by the

relevant ASEAN Ministers in 2010 to further enhance coherence in the regional connectivity agenda and the priority

measures for intraregional transport energy and information and communication linkages

We recognise that sub-regional cooperation arrangements such as the Brunei-lndonesia-Malaysia-Philippines

East ASEAN Growth Area (BIMP-EAGA) Indonesia-Malaysia-Thailand Growth Triangle (IMT-GT) Greater Mekong

Sub-Region (GMS) Cambodia - Laos - Viet Nam (CLV) Development Triangle and Ayeyawady - Chao Phrayashy

Mekong Economic Cooperation Strategy (ACMECS) are effective mechanisms to accelerate the implementation of

the regional initiatives In this regard we welcome the work that has been done by these sub-regions and look

forward to consolidating and prioritising existing work plans on connectivity into the Master Plan taking into

account related existing sub-regional cooperation frameworks We also look forward to the implementation of more

projects in the sub-regions to contribute to the narrowing of the development divide and enabling the sub-regions to

link with the rest of ASEAN region and beyond

sustainable use of natural resources in order to diversify and ensure resilience of our economy In this respect we

reiterate our commitment to ensure that economic development in our region is consistent with the long term

sustainability of our natural resources

We stress the importance of the promotion of creative economy in paving the way for future growth based on

creativity innovation and protection of intellectual property rights We believe that the creative economy which

draws on ASEANs rich cultural heritage combined with creative inputs from people in ASEAN will add substantial

value to its goods and services and will help promote sustainable growth in the region

We affirm ASEANs commitment to fully address socio-economic disparities and poverty that persist across ASEAN

Member States by developing and implementing an ASEAN Roadmap towards realising the Millennium

Development Goals (MDG) To this end we renew our commitment in the Joint Declaration on the Attainment of

the Millennium Development Goals in ASEAN underscoring the importance of better coordination and participation

of all key stakeholders including public and private sector civil societies and UN specialised agencies in

implementing the MDGs We call upon ASEAN Member States to continue supporting the initiatives for poverty

reduction towards narrowing the development gap within ASEAN and promoting self-reliance of families living

under poverty

The ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community Council

2009-2010

Introduction

After the ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community (ASCC)

14th Blueprint was approved by the ASEAN Leaders at the ASEAN

Summit in Clia-am Hua Hin Thailand in March 2009 the Socio-Cultural

Community Council (ASCC Council) convened its first meeting on 24 )f

August 2009 and the second meeting on 22 October 2009 Both the

meetings were chaired by HE Mr Kasit Piromya Minister of Foreign

Affairs of Thailand in his capacity as the Chair of ASCC

The First and the Second ASCC Council Meetings have

identified some priorities under the ASCC Blueprint as followsshy

1 ASEAN Awareness and Community Building

With people at its heart and their participation as the basis of

creating a Community of and for the peoples the First ASCC Council

Meeting identified the need to cultivate better historical and cultural

understanding between the peoples especially at the grass roots level

This is key for ASEAN to move forward with a common vision and

aspiration while appreciating its political economic and socio-cultural

diversities Promoting ASEAN awareness through shared identity and

cultural heritage would be fundamentally important in building the

ASEAN Community

2 Education

At the First meeting of the ASCC Council in August 2009

the meeting highlighted the need to empower people through education

in order to successfully realize the ASEAN Community Education could

also support ASEAN Awareness and ASEAN Connectivity both in terms

of physical infrastructure as well as spiritual and cultural connectivity to

15th create the feeling of being an ASEAN citizen At the ASEAN

Summit in October 2009 ASEAN Leaders under the recommendation of

the ASCC Council endorsed the Cha-am Hua Hin Declaration on

Strengthening Cooperation on Education to Achieve an ASEAN Caring

and Sharing Community

ABEAN agreed to highlight and maximize the richness and

diversity of cultures through art heritage and cultural activities in the

region as well as through media cooperation and networking to promote

ASEAN awareness and identity In Thailand the ASEAN Association of

Thailand has been established to be the main vehicle to promote ASEAN

awareness the community building process as well as how ASEAN as an

organization could bring about greater benefit to the people in the region

In addition the ASEAN Education Ministers are in the

process of drawing up the ASEANs Five Year Work Plan on Education

which is aimed at enhancing education standards and promoting ASEAN

community

3 The Promotion and Protection of the Rights of Women and

Children

On the human rights front the ASCC Council in close

collaboration with the ASEAN Ministers Meeting on Social Welfare and

Development (AMMSWD) and the ASEAN Committee on Women

(ACW) successfully concluded the Term of Reference of the ASEAN

Commission on the Promotion and Protection of the Rights of Women

and Children (ACWC) which would be launched at the 16th ASEAN

Summit in Ha Noi Viet Nam The ASCC firmly believes that the ACWC

is an integral part that would complement the ASEAN Commission on

Human Rights (AICHR) on ensuring greater promotion and protection of

human rights in ASEAN

4 Other issues that affect livelihood and well-being of the people in

the region

The ASCC Council has also strived to move forward with

the issues that affect the livelihood and the well-being of the peoples in

the region through implementing the ASCC Blueprint which would serve

as the roadmap to realizing the people-centered ASEAN Community

They include joint responses and cooperation on natural disasters health

and infectious diseases environment the attainment of the Millennium

Development Goal (MDGs) poverty eradication and the social impact of

the global financial crisis as well as the ASEAN Connectivity These

have been reflected through various Leaders declarationsstatements at

the 14th and is ASEAN Summits

In addition there are plans to effectively address the

problems of poverty and health standards through the possible setting up

of funds or financing schemes to support livelihood and employment

projects

5 ASEAN Connectivity

As ASEAN Leaders have put ASEAN Connectivity at the

top of the agenda of ASEAN Community Building it is important not

only to enhance infrastructure linkages within the region but to put

human factor into the process of building an ASEAN Community Not

only would ASEAN Connectivity lead to enhanced infrastructure

networks but connectivity should incorporate better linkages and better

understanding across the whole spectrum of ASEAN peoples The first

High Level Task Force on ASEAN Connectivity was convened in March

2010 and agreed on the need to include promoting education and

ASEAN cultural understanding in the Master Plan for ASEAN

Connectivity The ASCC Council should forge ahead with the

community building process that would make ASEAN Community a

diverse and culturally rich people-centered and socially responsible

community while uplifting the well-being of the people in this region

ASEAN LEADERS STATEMENT ON JOINT RESPONSE TO CLIMATE CHANGE

VIETNAM 2010 WE the Heads of StateGovernment of Brunei Darussalam the Kingdom of Cambodia the Republic of Indonesia the Lao Peoples Democratic Republic Malaysia the Union c1f Myanmar the Republic of the Philippines the Republic of Singapore the Kingdom of Thailand and the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam Member States of ASEAN on the occasion of the 16th ASEAN Summit

RENEWING our commitments made in the ASEAN Joint Statement on Climate Change to the 15th session of the Conference of the Parties (COP) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the 5th session of the Conference Parties serving as the Meeting of Parties (CMP) to the Kyoto Protocol (2009) the ASEAN Declaration on the 13th session of COP to the UNFCCC and the 3rd session of the CMP to the Kyoto Protocol (2007) and the ASEAN Declaration on Environmental Sustainability (2007)

REAFFIRMING that the UNFCCC and its Kyoto Protocol constitute the current legal framework and legal instrument for the international community to combat global climate change and that comprehensive effective and binding outcomes of the Bali Roadmap are essential for furthering the implementation of the UNFCCC and the Kyoto Protocol and should be addressed by a consensusshybased and transparent manner

FURTHER REAFFIRMING the principle of equity and in accordance with their common but differentiated responsibilities and respective capabilities and national circumstances

UNDERSTANDING that while the Copenhagen Accord is not a legally binding instrument it provides elements that could be considered as inputs to the two-track process of the Ad-hoc Working Group on Long-term Cooperative Actions (AWG-LCA) and the Ad-hoc Working Group on Further Commitments for Annex I Parties under the Kyoto Protocol (AWG-KP) aimed at reaching at a fair equitable and legally binding agreement that ensures a successful COP 16CMP 6 in Mexico gt

NOTING the large number of countries associating themselves with the Copenhagen Accord

RECOGNIZING that the Southeast Asian region is also vulnerable to climate change which will seriously affect most of aspects of livelihood and limit our development options for the future including our efforts towards the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals

RECOGNIZING the importance of sustainable forest management in ASEAN which will contribute significantly to the international efforts to promote environmental sustainability and to mitigate the effects of climate change

SHARING a vision for an ASEAN Community resilient to climate change and supporting our national and global efforts to combat climate change consistent with our common but differentiated responsibilities and respective capabilities

DO HEREBY DECLARE TO

Towards a global solution to the challenge of climate change ateOP 161CMP 6 ----_bullbull ~-gt ~gt

1 Reaffirm our right to sustainable development and resolve to achieve the ultimate objective of the UNFCCC to stabilize atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations at a level that would prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system and within a time-frame sufficient to allow ecosystems to adapt naturally to climate change to ensure that food production is not threatened and to enable economic development to proceed in a sustainable manner

2 Urge all Parties of UNFCCC to work together to secure a legally binding agreement particularly to limit the increase in average global temperature to below 2 degrees Celsius above the pre-industrial level and encourage all Parties concerned to engage in further discussions to elaborate appropriate provisions which should be concluded at COP 16CMP 6 in December 2010

2

3 Urge developed countries to continue taking the lead by making more ambitious commitments and setting out specific and binding targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the mid-term and longshyterm

4 Call upon developed countries to support developing countries and take full account of the specific needs and special situations of the least developed countries and those most affected by climate change with adequate predictable and sustainable financial resources transfer of technology as well as capacity enhancement to enable adaptation efforts and nationally appropriate mitigation actions by developing countries through effective and new institutional arrangements

5 Urge all countries particularly developed countries to ensure that their existing and future unilateral policies and measures as well as market-based mechanisms in addressing climate change will not negatively affect international trade as well as the sustainable economic and social development of developing countries taking into full account the specific needs and special situations of the least developed countries

6 Urge developed countries to fulfill their obligations under the UNFCCC and to provide scaled-up new and additional adequate and predictable funding to the developing countries taking into full account the specific needs and special situations of the least developed countries and those most affected by climate change which shall be provided with incentives to continue to develop on a low emission pathway

7 Encourage all developing countries to make active contributions to the global efforts through the development and implementation of Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs) on a voluntary basis in accordance with their different national circumstances while welcoming adequate financial and technical support that is made available to them

8 Encourage South-South cooperation to support ASEAN Member States in addressing the impacts of climate change through technical cooperation and capacity building

9 Reaffirm that agreement on and effective implementation of Reduced Emission from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD)-plus mechanisms is critical for contributions by ASEAN Members States to mitigate emissions and offers major opportunities for enhancing biodiversity conservation and sustainable use of natural resources as well as supporting the livelihood of local communities in a sustainable manner

10 Work constructively together to ensure that the outcome of COP 16CMP 6 will incorporate longshyterm cooperative actions to address climate change in accordance with principles and provisions of the Convention and the Bali Action Plan in particular on mitigation adaptation finance technology transfer capacity building and taking into account the specific national circumstances of Parties and a future agreement of the Second Commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol

11 Commit to actively contribute towards a successful outcome of COP 16CMP 6

Towards an ASEAN Community resilient to climate change

12 Continue to exchange views among ASEAN Member States on international climate negotiations under the UNFCCC before and in Mexico (COP 16CMP 6) as well as other related international conferences In this regard the newly established ASEAN Working Group on Climate Change (AWGCC) should work extensively to develop a common understandingposition of ASEAN in the coming COP 16CMP 6 in 2010 in line with the Bali Roadmap

13 Urge the ASEAN Climate Change Initiative (ACCI) to actively provide a consultative platform to further strengthen regional coordination and cooperation addressing climate change

14 Enhance scientific collaboration including on the following areas

a Downscaling of climate change effects according to different greenhouse gas emissions scenarios for the Southeast Asian region and for local areas according to multiple models

b Detailed climate change impact assessment vulnerability assessment adaptation options and needs for the Southeast Asian region and sub-regions such as BIMP-EAGA and Greater Mekong Subshyregion

c Formulation of needs and opportunities for greenhouse gas errnssrons mitigation with both domestic and international support in for example water resources management and peat land management forestry agricultural industrial and domestic energy efficiency measures renewable energy generation and transportation

15 Engage in cooperation in research and development and knowledge sharing including on agricultural management and practices so as to enhance food production agricultural productivity and water resources sustainability while adapting to the adverse effects of climate change and mitigating greenhouse gas emissions from the sector thus ensuring food security in the ASEAN region

16 Commit ourselves to promoting programmes for raising domestic awareness on climate change and to iFlculcate habits towards a low emissions society including through enhancement of education on climate change

17 Incorporate mitigation and adaptation strategies into national development strategies and policies in line with sustainable development

18 Enhance ASEAN participation towards strengthening international cooperationefforts to address climate change and assess its impacts on socio-economic development health environment and water

resources including activities on building adaptive capacities and supporting mitigation and adaptation actions

19 Encourage cooperation with other regional and sub-regional institutions such as inter-alia the Greater Mekong Sub-region and the Mekong River Commission (MRC) while welcoming the outcomes of the First Summit of the MRC in Thailand on 4-5 April 2010 which were reflected in the Declaration on Meeting the Needs Striking the Balance Towards the Sustainable Development of the Mekong River Basin highlighting the sustainable use management and development of water and related resources

ASEAN LEADERS STATEMENT ON SUSTAINED RECOVERY AND DEVELOPMENT

We the Heads of StateGovernment of the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) met in Ha Noi

Viet Nam on 8-9 April 2010 for the 16th ASEAN Summit We discussed the situation of the global economy

and were pleased to note that it is showing signs of recovery from the global financial and economic crisis

although this recovery is expected to be slow Nonetheless we believe that ASEANs inherent dynamism

will help the region sustain its recovery and attain higher economic growth

We are detennined for ASEAN to sustain its recovery in the aftermath of the global financial crisis and economic

downturn We therefore re-affirm our commitment towards regional integration and building the ASEAN

Commupity and re-affirm our willingness and readiness to participate in coordinated efforts towards sustained

global economic recovery as follows

1 Ensuring Financial Stability in ASEAN and Sustained Recovery

We will cooperate in restoring the health of financial systems and maintaining supportive macroeconomic

policies We will strengthen regional surveillance and economic monitoring capacities for an early detection of

macro-financial risks and vulnerabilities

We affirm our determination to enhance regional financial stability through such regional initiatives as the Chiangshy

Mai Initiative Multilateralisation (CMIM) and the Asian Bond Markets Initiative (ABMI) the Credit Guarantee

Investment Facility (CGIF) and the ongoing enhancement of the ASEAN Surveillance Office We reiterate our

willingness to achieve a more balanced international financial architecture by participating in reforms of financial

regulations prudential frameworks and International Financial Institutions

We will maintain monetary and fiscal support while preparing for orderly unwinding of expansionary policies until

the recovery is on a finn footing We note that as market conditions and the economic outlook are improving we

need to reconsider the continued support of monetary and fiscal policies for sustained recovery and resumption of

private credit flows in our economies

We affirm the need to start working on mechanisms to reverse the fiscal and monetary stimulus and then phase out

these policy accommodations We are fully confident that at the appropriate time we will be able to do so

effectively to ensure sustained recovery and development We welcome the inaugural Informal East Asia Summit

(EAS) Finance Ministers Meeting in May 2010 in Tashkent Uzbekistan

2 Enhancing ASEAN Economic Integration

We re-affirm our resolve to realise the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) which will establish ASEAN as a

single market and production base by 2015 We task all the AEC Council Ministers and officials concerned to

ensure that the AEC Blueprint and the strategic schedules contained therein are implemented in a timely manner

We will enhance cooperation and dialogue with our Dialogue Partners especially in implementing fully the

agreements signed and addressing regional and global challenges

We will continue to reject protectionism re-affirm our commitment to refrain from raising new barriers to trade and

investment and keep our markets open We remain committed to the WTO Doha Development Agenda and look

forward to the early and successful conclusion of the Doha Round

We welcome the G-20 Leaders Statement made at the Pittsburgh Summit in September 2009 and the APEC

Leaders Declaration made in Singapore in November 2009 particularly on the importance of an ambitious and

2

balanced conclusion of the Doha Development Agenda the continued rejection of protectionism and delivering a

global stimulus package to sustain global economic recovery ASEAN strongly believes that it can contribute to the

deliberations of the G-20 through the continued participation of the ASEAN Chair and the ASEAN Se~retaryshy

General in future G-20 Summits

3 Fostering Infrastructure Development

We re-affirm the importance of regional infrastructure development and enhancing connectivity that will playa

crucial role in achieving sustainable global economic recovery through enhanced trade investment tourism and

development We announced the ASEAN Connectivity Initiative at our 15th ASEAN Summit in Thailand in October

2009 to focus our resources and efforts in deepening connectivity within ASEAN and its sub-regional groupings

and in the broader regional framework of East Asia In this regard we task the High Level Task Force on ASEAN

Connectivity to develop the Master Plan on ASEAN Connectivity with recommended measures targets and

tlrnelines-necessary to achieve ASEAN Connectivity for the consideration of the ASEAN Member States We take

note otseveral ASEAN Dialogue Partners interest in ASEAN Connectivity during the Post Ministerial Conferences

and Summits in 2009 and therefore encourage their support towards the full implementation of the Master Plan on

ASEAN Connectivity

We re-affirm the importance of mobilising the regions savings to finance the huge infrastructure needs in the

region In this regard weare encouraged by the progress made under the ASEAN Infrastructure Financing

Mechanism (AIFM) We urge Member States to continue to explore effective financing instruments and policies

including a possible ASEAN Infrastructure Fund for viable regional infrastructure investments

We agree to enhance efforts to pursue physical infrastructure development and the policy and institutional

development in transport ICT and energy sectors in facilitation of transport and logistics necessary to realise

effective connectivity which would reinforce ASEANs position as a hub of the East Asian regi6n for transport

information technology tourism energy and logistics We task the relevant Ministers particularly the ASEAN

Transport Ministers (ATM) the ASEAN Telecommunications and ICT Ministers (TELMIN) and the ASEAN Ministers

on Energy (AMEM) to expedite the completion of the vital physical road rail air inland waterways sea gas and

power linkages within ASEAN as well as the implementation of the multilateral agreements phasing in ASEAN

Open Skies and the ASEAN framework agreements on inter-state transport multimodal transport facilitation of

goods in transit regional gas pipeline connections and power grid We look forward to the completion and

adoption of the ASEAN Strategic Transport Plan (ASTP) 2011-2015 and the ASEAN ICT Master Plan 2011-2015

as well as the implementation of the ASEAN Plan of Action for Energy Cooperation (APAEC) 2010-2015 by the

relevant ASEAN Ministers in 2010 to further enhance coherence in the regional connectivity agenda and the priority

measures for intraregional transport energy and information and communication linkages

We recognise that sub-regional cooperation arrangements such as the Brunei-lndonesia-Malaysia-Philippines

East ASEAN Growth Area (BIMP-EAGA) Indonesia-Malaysia-Thailand Growth Triangle (IMT-GT) Greater Mekong

Sub-Region (GMS) Cambodia - Laos - Viet Nam (CLV) Development Triangle and Ayeyawady - Chao Phrayashy

Mekong Economic Cooperation Strategy (ACMECS) are effective mechanisms to accelerate the implementation of

the regional initiatives In this regard we welcome the work that has been done by these sub-regions and look

forward to consolidating and prioritising existing work plans on connectivity into the Master Plan taking into

account related existing sub-regional cooperation frameworks We also look forward to the implementation of more

projects in the sub-regions to contribute to the narrowing of the development divide and enabling the sub-regions to

link with the rest of ASEAN region and beyond

creativity innovation and protection of intellectual property rights We believe that the creative economy which

draws on ASEANs rich cultural heritage combined with creative inputs from people in ASEAN will add substantial

value to its goods and services and will help promote sustainable growth in the region

Member States by developing and implementing an ASEAN Roadmap towards realising the Millennium

Development Goals (MDG) To this end we renew our commitment in the Joint Declaration on the Attainment of

the Millennium Development Goals in ASEAN underscoring the importance of better coordination and participation

enhancement of educational cooperation in the region Recognising that the countrys human resource is its best

asset we pledge to continuously support and carry out human resource development initiatives in accordance with

the requirements of our domestic and global labour market

will foster a more active and efficient participation of the private sector in the realisation of ASEAN Community

especlally the ASEAN Economic Community in ensuring ASEAN sustained recovery

The ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community Council

2009-2010

Introduction

After the ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community (ASCC)

14th Blueprint was approved by the ASEAN Leaders at the ASEAN

Summit in Clia-am Hua Hin Thailand in March 2009 the Socio-Cultural

Community Council (ASCC Council) convened its first meeting on 24 )f

August 2009 and the second meeting on 22 October 2009 Both the

meetings were chaired by HE Mr Kasit Piromya Minister of Foreign

Affairs of Thailand in his capacity as the Chair of ASCC

The First and the Second ASCC Council Meetings have

identified some priorities under the ASCC Blueprint as followsshy

1 ASEAN Awareness and Community Building

With people at its heart and their participation as the basis of

creating a Community of and for the peoples the First ASCC Council

Meeting identified the need to cultivate better historical and cultural

understanding between the peoples especially at the grass roots level

This is key for ASEAN to move forward with a common vision and

aspiration while appreciating its political economic and socio-cultural

diversities Promoting ASEAN awareness through shared identity and

cultural heritage would be fundamentally important in building the

ASEAN Community

2 Education

At the First meeting of the ASCC Council in August 2009

the meeting highlighted the need to empower people through education

in order to successfully realize the ASEAN Community Education could

also support ASEAN Awareness and ASEAN Connectivity both in terms

of physical infrastructure as well as spiritual and cultural connectivity to

15th create the feeling of being an ASEAN citizen At the ASEAN

Summit in October 2009 ASEAN Leaders under the recommendation of

the ASCC Council endorsed the Cha-am Hua Hin Declaration on

Strengthening Cooperation on Education to Achieve an ASEAN Caring

and Sharing Community

ABEAN agreed to highlight and maximize the richness and

diversity of cultures through art heritage and cultural activities in the

region as well as through media cooperation and networking to promote

ASEAN awareness and identity In Thailand the ASEAN Association of

Thailand has been established to be the main vehicle to promote ASEAN

awareness the community building process as well as how ASEAN as an

organization could bring about greater benefit to the people in the region

In addition the ASEAN Education Ministers are in the

process of drawing up the ASEANs Five Year Work Plan on Education

which is aimed at enhancing education standards and promoting ASEAN

community

3 The Promotion and Protection of the Rights of Women and

Children

On the human rights front the ASCC Council in close

collaboration with the ASEAN Ministers Meeting on Social Welfare and

Development (AMMSWD) and the ASEAN Committee on Women

(ACW) successfully concluded the Term of Reference of the ASEAN

Commission on the Promotion and Protection of the Rights of Women

and Children (ACWC) which would be launched at the 16th ASEAN

Summit in Ha Noi Viet Nam The ASCC firmly believes that the ACWC

is an integral part that would complement the ASEAN Commission on

Human Rights (AICHR) on ensuring greater promotion and protection of

human rights in ASEAN

4 Other issues that affect livelihood and well-being of the people in

the region

The ASCC Council has also strived to move forward with

the issues that affect the livelihood and the well-being of the peoples in

the region through implementing the ASCC Blueprint which would serve

as the roadmap to realizing the people-centered ASEAN Community

They include joint responses and cooperation on natural disasters health

and infectious diseases environment the attainment of the Millennium

Development Goal (MDGs) poverty eradication and the social impact of

the global financial crisis as well as the ASEAN Connectivity These

have been reflected through various Leaders declarationsstatements at

the 14th and is ASEAN Summits

In addition there are plans to effectively address the

problems of poverty and health standards through the possible setting up

of funds or financing schemes to support livelihood and employment

projects

5 ASEAN Connectivity

As ASEAN Leaders have put ASEAN Connectivity at the

top of the agenda of ASEAN Community Building it is important not

only to enhance infrastructure linkages within the region but to put

human factor into the process of building an ASEAN Community Not

only would ASEAN Connectivity lead to enhanced infrastructure

networks but connectivity should incorporate better linkages and better

understanding across the whole spectrum of ASEAN peoples The first

High Level Task Force on ASEAN Connectivity was convened in March

2010 and agreed on the need to include promoting education and

ASEAN cultural understanding in the Master Plan for ASEAN

Connectivity The ASCC Council should forge ahead with the

community building process that would make ASEAN Community a

diverse and culturally rich people-centered and socially responsible

community while uplifting the well-being of the people in this region

implementing bodies and to improve coordination among the pillars and resource mobilization

15 With full commitment to a people-oriented ASEAN we encouraged all sectors of the society to participate actively in the community buildinq process We emphasized the need to enhance the sense of community among ASEAN peoples and to promote the awareness of ASEAN in our partners and the world at large In this connection we commended the adoption of Communication Plans for the three Community Pillars

16 We pledged to do our best to further promote and protect the rights of our people In this regard we were pleased with the operationalisation of AICHR as an overarching institution for regional cooperation on human rights We tasked relevant Ministers to give necessary guidance so that AICHR could finalize its 5 year Work Plan as required by its TOR as early as possible We noted the kind offer of the Philippines to locate the AICHR Headquarters in Manila and requested the Foreign Ministers to consider this issue at a later stage

ASEAN Political-Security Community (APSe)

17 We noted with satisfaction the significant progress achieved in the implementation of the APSC Blueprint and tasked relevant Ministers and senior officials to enhance the utilization of ASEANs existing tools and mechanisms such as the Treaty of Amity and Cooperation in Southeast Asia (TAC) the Southeast Asia Nuclear Weapon-Free Zone Treaty (SEANWFZ) the Declaration of Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea (DOC) the ASEAN Regional Forum (ARF) the ASEAN Defence Ministers Meeting (ADMM) ASEAN Ministerial Meeting on Transnational Crime (AMMTC) and the ASEAN Convention on Counter-Terrorism to ensure regional peace and security We stressed the importance of effective coordination and collaboration among various sectoral bodies under the purview of the APSC and the need for a strategic and holistic approach in the implementation of the APSC Blueprint We commended the APSC Council for adoption of the APSC Communication Plan in January 2010

18 We were encouraged to note that the important role of the TAC as the key code of conduct governing inter-state relations in the region continues to be strengthened with the increasing number of the High Contracting Parties and applicant countries In this regard we welcomed the desire of the EUEC Canada and Turkey to accede to the TAC

19 We reiterated our commitment to implementing the SEANWFZ

5

Treaty and its Plan of Action and urged Nuclear Weapon States to consider their early signing of the SEANWFZ Protocol to further promote Southeast Asia as a Nuclear Weapon-Free Zone

20 We noted that ASEAN has submited the Memorandum on Activities Related to the SEANWFZ Treaty to the 2010 Review Conference of the Parties to the Treaty on Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) which would help highlight the significance of SEANWFZ

21 We noted the progress made in drafting the Ha Noi Plan of Action to Implement the ARF Vision Statement which would further contribute to confidence building peace and stability in the region

22 We welcomed the progress made in defence dialogue and cooperation under the ADMM framework We viewed that an ADMM Plus could help strengthen the existing cooperation on regional defence and security between ASEAN and its Dialogue Partners in accordance with the ADMMs open flexible and outward-looking nature In this connection we agreed on the convening of the ADMM+8 on a regular basis and tasked our Defence Ministers to ensure its early implementation

23 Noting with satisfaction ASEANs ongoing cooperation in nonshytraditional security issues we emphasized the need to fully implement the ASEAN Convention on Counter-Terrorism and its Comprehensive Plan of Action We agreed on the need to further strengthen cooperation and coordination among domestic security agencies of ASEAN Member States

ASEAN Economic Community (AEC)

3rd 24 We welcomed the outcome of the AEC Council Meeting particularly on the progress made in the implementation of the AEC Blueprint We agreed to intensify efforts in intra-ASEAN economic integration stressed the need to finalise all remaining measures and urged for prompt implementation of all our economic integration commitments by all Member States

25 We took note that since the adoption of the AEC Blueprint in November 2007 significant progress has been made towards achieving the AEC Beginning 1 January 2010 995 tariff lines in the ASEANs inclusion lists under the Common Effective Preferential Tariffs for ASEAN Free Trade Area (CEPT-AFTA) stood at 0 to 5 making this the

We the Heads of StateGovernment of the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) met in Ha Noi

Viet Nam on 8-9 April 2010 for the 16th ASEAN Summit We discussed the situation of the global economy

and were pleased to note that it is showing signs of recovery from the global financial and economic crisis

although this recovery is expected to be slow Nonetheless we believe that ASEANs inherent dynamism

will help the region sustain its recovery and attain higher economic growth

We are detennined for ASEAN to sustain its recovery in the aftermath of the global financial crisis and economic

downturn We therefore re-affirm our commitment towards regional integration and building the ASEAN

Commupity and re-affirm our willingness and readiness to participate in coordinated efforts towards sustained

global economic recovery as follows

1 Ensuring Financial Stability in ASEAN and Sustained Recovery

We will cooperate in restoring the health of financial systems and maintaining supportive macroeconomic

policies We will strengthen regional surveillance and economic monitoring capacities for an early detection of

macro-financial risks and vulnerabilities

Investment Facility (CGIF) and the ongoing enhancement of the ASEAN Surveillance Office We reiterate our

willingness to achieve a more balanced international financial architecture by participating in reforms of financial

regulations prudential frameworks and International Financial Institutions

We will maintain monetary and fiscal support while preparing for orderly unwinding of expansionary policies until

the recovery is on a finn footing We note that as market conditions and the economic outlook are improving we

need to reconsider the continued support of monetary and fiscal policies for sustained recovery and resumption of

private credit flows in our economies

We affirm the need to start working on mechanisms to reverse the fiscal and monetary stimulus and then phase out

these policy accommodations We are fully confident that at the appropriate time we will be able to do so

effectively to ensure sustained recovery and development We welcome the inaugural Informal East Asia Summit

(EAS) Finance Ministers Meeting in May 2010 in Tashkent Uzbekistan

2 Enhancing ASEAN Economic Integration

We re-affirm our resolve to realise the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) which will establish ASEAN as a

single market and production base by 2015 We task all the AEC Council Ministers and officials concerned to

ensure that the AEC Blueprint and the strategic schedules contained therein are implemented in a timely manner

We will enhance cooperation and dialogue with our Dialogue Partners especially in implementing fully the

agreements signed and addressing regional and global challenges

We will continue to reject protectionism re-affirm our commitment to refrain from raising new barriers to trade and

investment and keep our markets open We remain committed to the WTO Doha Development Agenda and look

forward to the early and successful conclusion of the Doha Round

Leaders Declaration made in Singapore in November 2009 particularly on the importance of an ambitious and

2

balanced conclusion of the Doha Development Agenda the continued rejection of protectionism and delivering a

global stimulus package to sustain global economic recovery ASEAN strongly believes that it can contribute to the

deliberations of the G-20 through the continued participation of the ASEAN Chair and the ASEAN Se~retaryshy

General in future G-20 Summits

3 Fostering Infrastructure Development

We re-affirm the importance of regional infrastructure development and enhancing connectivity that will playa

crucial role in achieving sustainable global economic recovery through enhanced trade investment tourism and

development We announced the ASEAN Connectivity Initiative at our 15th ASEAN Summit in Thailand in October

2009 to focus our resources and efforts in deepening connectivity within ASEAN and its sub-regional groupings

and in the broader regional framework of East Asia In this regard we task the High Level Task Force on ASEAN

Connectivity to develop the Master Plan on ASEAN Connectivity with recommended measures targets and

tlrnelines-necessary to achieve ASEAN Connectivity for the consideration of the ASEAN Member States We take

note otseveral ASEAN Dialogue Partners interest in ASEAN Connectivity during the Post Ministerial Conferences

and Summits in 2009 and therefore encourage their support towards the full implementation of the Master Plan on

ASEAN Connectivity

We re-affirm the importance of mobilising the regions savings to finance the huge infrastructure needs in the

region In this regard weare encouraged by the progress made under the ASEAN Infrastructure Financing

Mechanism (AIFM) We urge Member States to continue to explore effective financing instruments and policies

including a possible ASEAN Infrastructure Fund for viable regional infrastructure investments

We agree to enhance efforts to pursue physical infrastructure development and the policy and institutional

development in transport ICT and energy sectors in facilitation of transport and logistics necessary to realise

as well as the implementation of the ASEAN Plan of Action for Energy Cooperation (APAEC) 2010-2015 by the

relevant ASEAN Ministers in 2010 to further enhance coherence in the regional connectivity agenda and the priority

measures for intraregional transport energy and information and communication linkages

We recognise that sub-regional cooperation arrangements such as the Brunei-lndonesia-Malaysia-Philippines

East ASEAN Growth Area (BIMP-EAGA) Indonesia-Malaysia-Thailand Growth Triangle (IMT-GT) Greater Mekong

Sub-Region (GMS) Cambodia - Laos - Viet Nam (CLV) Development Triangle and Ayeyawady - Chao Phrayashy

Mekong Economic Cooperation Strategy (ACMECS) are effective mechanisms to accelerate the implementation of

the regional initiatives In this regard we welcome the work that has been done by these sub-regions and look

forward to consolidating and prioritising existing work plans on connectivity into the Master Plan taking into

account related existing sub-regional cooperation frameworks We also look forward to the implementation of more

projects in the sub-regions to contribute to the narrowing of the development divide and enabling the sub-regions to

link with the rest of ASEAN region and beyond

sustainable use of natural resources in order to diversify and ensure resilience of our economy In this respect we

reiterate our commitment to ensure that economic development in our region is consistent with the long term

sustainability of our natural resources

We stress the importance of the promotion of creative economy in paving the way for future growth based on

creativity innovation and protection of intellectual property rights We believe that the creative economy which

draws on ASEANs rich cultural heritage combined with creative inputs from people in ASEAN will add substantial

value to its goods and services and will help promote sustainable growth in the region

We affirm ASEANs commitment to fully address socio-economic disparities and poverty that persist across ASEAN

Member States by developing and implementing an ASEAN Roadmap towards realising the Millennium

Development Goals (MDG) To this end we renew our commitment in the Joint Declaration on the Attainment of

the Millennium Development Goals in ASEAN underscoring the importance of better coordination and participation

of all key stakeholders including public and private sector civil societies and UN specialised agencies in

implementing the MDGs We call upon ASEAN Member States to continue supporting the initiatives for poverty

reduction towards narrowing the development gap within ASEAN and promoting self-reliance of families living

under poverty

The ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community Council

2009-2010

Introduction

After the ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community (ASCC)

14th Blueprint was approved by the ASEAN Leaders at the ASEAN

Summit in Clia-am Hua Hin Thailand in March 2009 the Socio-Cultural

Community Council (ASCC Council) convened its first meeting on 24 )f

August 2009 and the second meeting on 22 October 2009 Both the

meetings were chaired by HE Mr Kasit Piromya Minister of Foreign

Affairs of Thailand in his capacity as the Chair of ASCC

The First and the Second ASCC Council Meetings have

identified some priorities under the ASCC Blueprint as followsshy

1 ASEAN Awareness and Community Building

With people at its heart and their participation as the basis of

creating a Community of and for the peoples the First ASCC Council

Meeting identified the need to cultivate better historical and cultural

understanding between the peoples especially at the grass roots level

This is key for ASEAN to move forward with a common vision and

aspiration while appreciating its political economic and socio-cultural

diversities Promoting ASEAN awareness through shared identity and

cultural heritage would be fundamentally important in building the

ASEAN Community

2 Education

At the First meeting of the ASCC Council in August 2009

the meeting highlighted the need to empower people through education

in order to successfully realize the ASEAN Community Education could

also support ASEAN Awareness and ASEAN Connectivity both in terms

of physical infrastructure as well as spiritual and cultural connectivity to

15th create the feeling of being an ASEAN citizen At the ASEAN

Summit in October 2009 ASEAN Leaders under the recommendation of

the ASCC Council endorsed the Cha-am Hua Hin Declaration on

Strengthening Cooperation on Education to Achieve an ASEAN Caring

and Sharing Community

ABEAN agreed to highlight and maximize the richness and

diversity of cultures through art heritage and cultural activities in the

region as well as through media cooperation and networking to promote

ASEAN awareness and identity In Thailand the ASEAN Association of

Thailand has been established to be the main vehicle to promote ASEAN

awareness the community building process as well as how ASEAN as an

organization could bring about greater benefit to the people in the region

In addition the ASEAN Education Ministers are in the

process of drawing up the ASEANs Five Year Work Plan on Education

which is aimed at enhancing education standards and promoting ASEAN

community

3 The Promotion and Protection of the Rights of Women and

Children

On the human rights front the ASCC Council in close

collaboration with the ASEAN Ministers Meeting on Social Welfare and

Development (AMMSWD) and the ASEAN Committee on Women

(ACW) successfully concluded the Term of Reference of the ASEAN

Commission on the Promotion and Protection of the Rights of Women

and Children (ACWC) which would be launched at the 16th ASEAN

Summit in Ha Noi Viet Nam The ASCC firmly believes that the ACWC

is an integral part that would complement the ASEAN Commission on

Human Rights (AICHR) on ensuring greater promotion and protection of

human rights in ASEAN

4 Other issues that affect livelihood and well-being of the people in

the region

The ASCC Council has also strived to move forward with

the issues that affect the livelihood and the well-being of the peoples in

the region through implementing the ASCC Blueprint which would serve

as the roadmap to realizing the people-centered ASEAN Community

They include joint responses and cooperation on natural disasters health

and infectious diseases environment the attainment of the Millennium

Development Goal (MDGs) poverty eradication and the social impact of

the global financial crisis as well as the ASEAN Connectivity These

have been reflected through various Leaders declarationsstatements at

the 14th and is ASEAN Summits

In addition there are plans to effectively address the

problems of poverty and health standards through the possible setting up

of funds or financing schemes to support livelihood and employment

projects

5 ASEAN Connectivity

As ASEAN Leaders have put ASEAN Connectivity at the

top of the agenda of ASEAN Community Building it is important not

only to enhance infrastructure linkages within the region but to put

human factor into the process of building an ASEAN Community Not

only would ASEAN Connectivity lead to enhanced infrastructure

networks but connectivity should incorporate better linkages and better

understanding across the whole spectrum of ASEAN peoples The first

High Level Task Force on ASEAN Connectivity was convened in March

2010 and agreed on the need to include promoting education and

ASEAN cultural understanding in the Master Plan for ASEAN

Connectivity The ASCC Council should forge ahead with the

community building process that would make ASEAN Community a

diverse and culturally rich people-centered and socially responsible

community while uplifting the well-being of the people in this region

ASEAN LEADERS STATEMENT ON SUSTAINED RECOVERY AND DEVELOPMENT

We the Heads of StateGovernment of the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) met in Ha Noi

Viet Nam on 8-9 April 2010 for the 16th ASEAN Summit We discussed the situation of the global economy

and were pleased to note that it is showing signs of recovery from the global financial and economic crisis

although this recovery is expected to be slow Nonetheless we believe that ASEANs inherent dynamism

will help the region sustain its recovery and attain higher economic growth

We are detennined for ASEAN to sustain its recovery in the aftermath of the global financial crisis and economic

downturn We therefore re-affirm our commitment towards regional integration and building the ASEAN

Commupity and re-affirm our willingness and readiness to participate in coordinated efforts towards sustained

global economic recovery as follows

1 Ensuring Financial Stability in ASEAN and Sustained Recovery

We will cooperate in restoring the health of financial systems and maintaining supportive macroeconomic

policies We will strengthen regional surveillance and economic monitoring capacities for an early detection of

macro-financial risks and vulnerabilities

We affirm our determination to enhance regional financial stability through such regional initiatives as the Chiangshy

Mai Initiative Multilateralisation (CMIM) and the Asian Bond Markets Initiative (ABMI) the Credit Guarantee

Investment Facility (CGIF) and the ongoing enhancement of the ASEAN Surveillance Office We reiterate our

willingness to achieve a more balanced international financial architecture by participating in reforms of financial

regulations prudential frameworks and International Financial Institutions

We will maintain monetary and fiscal support while preparing for orderly unwinding of expansionary policies until

the recovery is on a finn footing We note that as market conditions and the economic outlook are improving we

need to reconsider the continued support of monetary and fiscal policies for sustained recovery and resumption of

private credit flows in our economies

We affirm the need to start working on mechanisms to reverse the fiscal and monetary stimulus and then phase out

these policy accommodations We are fully confident that at the appropriate time we will be able to do so

effectively to ensure sustained recovery and development We welcome the inaugural Informal East Asia Summit

(EAS) Finance Ministers Meeting in May 2010 in Tashkent Uzbekistan

2 Enhancing ASEAN Economic Integration

We re-affirm our resolve to realise the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) which will establish ASEAN as a

single market and production base by 2015 We task all the AEC Council Ministers and officials concerned to

ensure that the AEC Blueprint and the strategic schedules contained therein are implemented in a timely manner

We will enhance cooperation and dialogue with our Dialogue Partners especially in implementing fully the

agreements signed and addressing regional and global challenges

We will continue to reject protectionism re-affirm our commitment to refrain from raising new barriers to trade and

investment and keep our markets open We remain committed to the WTO Doha Development Agenda and look

forward to the early and successful conclusion of the Doha Round

We welcome the G-20 Leaders Statement made at the Pittsburgh Summit in September 2009 and the APEC

Leaders Declaration made in Singapore in November 2009 particularly on the importance of an ambitious and

2

balanced conclusion of the Doha Development Agenda the continued rejection of protectionism and delivering a

global stimulus package to sustain global economic recovery ASEAN strongly believes that it can contribute to the

deliberations of the G-20 through the continued participation of the ASEAN Chair and the ASEAN Se~retaryshy

General in future G-20 Summits

3 Fostering Infrastructure Development

We re-affirm the importance of regional infrastructure development and enhancing connectivity that will playa

The ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community Council

2009-2010

Introduction

After the ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community (ASCC)

14th Blueprint was approved by the ASEAN Leaders at the ASEAN

Summit in Clia-am Hua Hin Thailand in March 2009 the Socio-Cultural

Community Council (ASCC Council) convened its first meeting on 24 )f

August 2009 and the second meeting on 22 October 2009 Both the

meetings were chaired by HE Mr Kasit Piromya Minister of Foreign

Affairs of Thailand in his capacity as the Chair of ASCC

The First and the Second ASCC Council Meetings have

identified some priorities under the ASCC Blueprint as followsshy

1 ASEAN Awareness and Community Building

With people at its heart and their participation as the basis of

creating a Community of and for the peoples the First ASCC Council

Meeting identified the need to cultivate better historical and cultural

understanding between the peoples especially at the grass roots level

This is key for ASEAN to move forward with a common vision and

aspiration while appreciating its political economic and socio-cultural

diversities Promoting ASEAN awareness through shared identity and

cultural heritage would be fundamentally important in building the

ASEAN Community

2 Education

At the First meeting of the ASCC Council in August 2009

the meeting highlighted the need to empower people through education

in order to successfully realize the ASEAN Community Education could

also support ASEAN Awareness and ASEAN Connectivity both in terms

of physical infrastructure as well as spiritual and cultural connectivity to

15th create the feeling of being an ASEAN citizen At the ASEAN

Summit in October 2009 ASEAN Leaders under the recommendation of

the ASCC Council endorsed the Cha-am Hua Hin Declaration on

Strengthening Cooperation on Education to Achieve an ASEAN Caring

and Sharing Community

ABEAN agreed to highlight and maximize the richness and

diversity of cultures through art heritage and cultural activities in the

region as well as through media cooperation and networking to promote

ASEAN awareness and identity In Thailand the ASEAN Association of

Thailand has been established to be the main vehicle to promote ASEAN

awareness the community building process as well as how ASEAN as an

organization could bring about greater benefit to the people in the region

In addition the ASEAN Education Ministers are in the

process of drawing up the ASEANs Five Year Work Plan on Education

which is aimed at enhancing education standards and promoting ASEAN

community

3 The Promotion and Protection of the Rights of Women and

Children

On the human rights front the ASCC Council in close

collaboration with the ASEAN Ministers Meeting on Social Welfare and

Development (AMMSWD) and the ASEAN Committee on Women

(ACW) successfully concluded the Term of Reference of the ASEAN

Commission on the Promotion and Protection of the Rights of Women

and Children (ACWC) which would be launched at the 16th ASEAN

Summit in Ha Noi Viet Nam The ASCC firmly believes that the ACWC

is an integral part that would complement the ASEAN Commission on

Human Rights (AICHR) on ensuring greater promotion and protection of

human rights in ASEAN

4 Other issues that affect livelihood and well-being of the people in

the region

The ASCC Council has also strived to move forward with

the issues that affect the livelihood and the well-being of the peoples in

the region through implementing the ASCC Blueprint which would serve

as the roadmap to realizing the people-centered ASEAN Community

They include joint responses and cooperation on natural disasters health

and infectious diseases environment the attainment of the Millennium

Development Goal (MDGs) poverty eradication and the social impact of

the global financial crisis as well as the ASEAN Connectivity These

have been reflected through various Leaders declarationsstatements at

the 14th and is ASEAN Summits

In addition there are plans to effectively address the

problems of poverty and health standards through the possible setting up

of funds or financing schemes to support livelihood and employment

projects

5 ASEAN Connectivity

As ASEAN Leaders have put ASEAN Connectivity at the

top of the agenda of ASEAN Community Building it is important not

only to enhance infrastructure linkages within the region but to put

human factor into the process of building an ASEAN Community Not

only would ASEAN Connectivity lead to enhanced infrastructure

networks but connectivity should incorporate better linkages and better

understanding across the whole spectrum of ASEAN peoples The first

High Level Task Force on ASEAN Connectivity was convened in March

2010 and agreed on the need to include promoting education and

ASEAN cultural understanding in the Master Plan for ASEAN

Connectivity The ASCC Council should forge ahead with the

community building process that would make ASEAN Community a

diverse and culturally rich people-centered and socially responsible

community while uplifting the well-being of the people in this region

most tangible high-impact outcome for ASEAN Intra-ASEAN trade almost tripled to US$ 4581 billion in 2008 as compared to 2000 when all ten Member States joined the CEPT-AFTA Together with the progress made in the removal of non-tariff barriers to trade this process underscored ASEANs commitment to facilitating free flow of goods in ASEAN In this connection we looked forward to the entry-into-force of the ASEAN Trade in Goods Agreement by May 2010

48 We discussed extensively the global economic and financial situation and its impacts on our region We continued to support the Gshy20 framework for strong sustainable and balanced growth We highly appreciated the G-20s good practice to consult regional organisations to enhance its representativeness and broaden its perspective In this regard we strongly believed that the current Chair of ASEAN Viet Nam and subsequent ASEAN Chairs would continue to be invited to the G-20 Summits this year and in the future respectively to offer and share ASEANs constructive contributions views and good experiences

49 We reaffirmed our commitment to bringing the Doha round to an early and successful conclusion with a comprehensive and balanced outcome that benefits all parties and makes the Doha Round a round for development We resolved to reject protectionism and remain open to global and regional trade

50 We were briefed by HE Prime Minister Thein Sein of Myanmar on recent political developments and the progress made in the implementation of the Roadmap for Democracy especially the preparations for the general election in Myanmar in 2010 We underscored the importance of national reconciliation in Myanmar and the holding of the general election in a free fair and inclusive manner thus contributing to Myanmars stability and development We also stressed the need that Myanmar would continue to work with ASEAN and United Nations in this process

11

51 We welcomed all international efforts to promote nuclear nonshyproliferation nuclear disarmament and peaceful uses of nuclear energy including the convening of the upcoming Nuclear Security Summit in Washington DC and the NPT Review Conference in New York We reaffirmed our full support to the Presidency of the Philippines of the 2010 NPT Review Conference for a successful outcome of the Conference which enables the balanced implementation of the Treatys three pillars

52 We noted the recent developments on the Korean Peninsula and reaffirmed our support for a nuclear weapon-free Korean Peninsula We encouraged all the parties concerned to continue to settlle their disputes through peaceful negotiations

Other Issues

53 We renewed our commitments to building a people-oriented ASEAN through greater peoples participation in our community-building process We were happy with the outcome of our Meeting with Representatives from ASEAN Inter-Parliamentary Assembly (AIPA) in

8th Ha Noi on April and we instructed the ASEAN Secretariat to coordinate with AIPAs counterpart to develop proper modalities for future cooperation between ASEANs executive and fegislative branches

54 We welcomed the outcome of the First Summit of the Mekong River Commission (MRC) held on 4-5 April 2010 in Thailand including the MRC Hua Hin Declaration on Meeting the Needs Keeping the Balance Towards the Sustainable Development of the Mekong River Basin highlighting the need on the sustainable use management and development of water and related resources of the Mekong and enhanced connectivity for the benefit of the countries and people in the basin and beyond We also welcomed Viet Nams initiative to organize a Dialogue on Mekong Sub-regional Development Partnership in the year 2010 which would provide a good basis for dialogue and information sharing among partners towards better harmonization of the ongoing projects and more efficient utilization of available resources

55 We welcomed Viet Nam as the host of the World Economic Forum (WEF) 011 East Asia to be held in Ho Chi Minh City from 6-7 June 2010 As one of WEFs important regional events the WEF on East Asia 2010 in Viet Nam would be a good platform for international business and policy communities across Asia including ASEAN Member States to exchange views on strengthening and expanding economic cooperation

12

trade and investment to discuss and devise solutions to major regional and global issues

56 We endorsed the exchange between Indonesia and Brunei Darussalam in their turns for the ASEAN Chairmanship and welcomed Indonesia as the ASEAN Chair in 2011 In this regard we affirmed that such exchange shall not create precedence in the future

ASEAN LEADERS STATEMENT ON SUSTAINED RECOVERY AND DEVELOPMENT

We the Heads of StateGovernment of the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) met in Ha Noi

Viet Nam on 8-9 April 2010 for the 16th ASEAN Summit We discussed the situation of the global economy

and were pleased to note that it is showing signs of recovery from the global financial and economic crisis

although this recovery is expected to be slow Nonetheless we believe that ASEANs inherent dynamism

will help the region sustain its recovery and attain higher economic growth

We are detennined for ASEAN to sustain its recovery in the aftermath of the global financial crisis and economic

downturn We therefore re-affirm our commitment towards regional integration and building the ASEAN

Commupity and re-affirm our willingness and readiness to participate in coordinated efforts towards sustained

global economic recovery as follows

1 Ensuring Financial Stability in ASEAN and Sustained Recovery

We will cooperate in restoring the health of financial systems and maintaining supportive macroeconomic

policies We will strengthen regional surveillance and economic monitoring capacities for an early detection of

macro-financial risks and vulnerabilities

We affirm our determination to enhance regional financial stability through such regional initiatives as the Chiangshy

Mai Initiative Multilateralisation (CMIM) and the Asian Bond Markets Initiative (ABMI) the Credit Guarantee

Investment Facility (CGIF) and the ongoing enhancement of the ASEAN Surveillance Office We reiterate our

willingness to achieve a more balanced international financial architecture by participating in reforms of financial

regulations prudential frameworks and International Financial Institutions

We will maintain monetary and fiscal support while preparing for orderly unwinding of expansionary policies until

the recovery is on a finn footing We note that as market conditions and the economic outlook are improving we

need to reconsider the continued support of monetary and fiscal policies for sustained recovery and resumption of

private credit flows in our economies

We affirm the need to start working on mechanisms to reverse the fiscal and monetary stimulus and then phase out

these policy accommodations We are fully confident that at the appropriate time we will be able to do so

effectively to ensure sustained recovery and development We welcome the inaugural Informal East Asia Summit

(EAS) Finance Ministers Meeting in May 2010 in Tashkent Uzbekistan

2 Enhancing ASEAN Economic Integration

We re-affirm our resolve to realise the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) which will establish ASEAN as a

single market and production base by 2015 We task all the AEC Council Ministers and officials concerned to

ensure that the AEC Blueprint and the strategic schedules contained therein are implemented in a timely manner

We will enhance cooperation and dialogue with our Dialogue Partners especially in implementing fully the

agreements signed and addressing regional and global challenges

We will continue to reject protectionism re-affirm our commitment to refrain from raising new barriers to trade and

investment and keep our markets open We remain committed to the WTO Doha Development Agenda and look

forward to the early and successful conclusion of the Doha Round

We welcome the G-20 Leaders Statement made at the Pittsburgh Summit in September 2009 and the APEC

Leaders Declaration made in Singapore in November 2009 particularly on the importance of an ambitious and

2

balanced conclusion of the Doha Development Agenda the continued rejection of protectionism and delivering a

global stimulus package to sustain global economic recovery ASEAN strongly believes that it can contribute to the

deliberations of the G-20 through the continued participation of the ASEAN Chair and the ASEAN Se~retaryshy

General in future G-20 Summits

3 Fostering Infrastructure Development

We re-affirm the importance of regional infrastructure development and enhancing connectivity that will playa

crucial role in achieving sustainable global economic recovery through enhanced trade investment tourism and

development We announced the ASEAN Connectivity Initiative at our 15th ASEAN Summit in Thailand in October

2009 to focus our resources and efforts in deepening connectivity within ASEAN and its sub-regional groupings

and in the broader regional framework of East Asia In this regard we task the High Level Task Force on ASEAN

Connectivity to develop the Master Plan on ASEAN Connectivity with recommended measures targets and

tlrnelines-necessary to achieve ASEAN Connectivity for the consideration of the ASEAN Member States We take

note otseveral ASEAN Dialogue Partners interest in ASEAN Connectivity during the Post Ministerial Conferences

and Summits in 2009 and therefore encourage their support towards the full implementation of the Master Plan on

ASEAN Connectivity

We re-affirm the importance of mobilising the regions savings to finance the huge infrastructure needs in the

region In this regard weare encouraged by the progress made under the ASEAN Infrastructure Financing

Mechanism (AIFM) We urge Member States to continue to explore effective financing instruments and policies

including a possible ASEAN Infrastructure Fund for viable regional infrastructure investments

We agree to enhance efforts to pursue physical infrastructure development and the policy and institutional

development in transport ICT and energy sectors in facilitation of transport and logistics necessary to realise

effective connectivity which would reinforce ASEANs position as a hub of the East Asian regi6n for transport

information technology tourism energy and logistics We task the relevant Ministers particularly the ASEAN

Open Skies and the ASEAN framework agreements on inter-state transport multimodal transport facilitation of

goods in transit regional gas pipeline connections and power grid We look forward to the completion and

adoption of the ASEAN Strategic Transport Plan (ASTP) 2011-2015 and the ASEAN ICT Master Plan 2011-2015

as well as the implementation of the ASEAN Plan of Action for Energy Cooperation (APAEC) 2010-2015 by the

relevant ASEAN Ministers in 2010 to further enhance coherence in the regional connectivity agenda and the priority

measures for intraregional transport energy and information and communication linkages

We recognise that sub-regional cooperation arrangements such as the Brunei-lndonesia-Malaysia-Philippines

East ASEAN Growth Area (BIMP-EAGA) Indonesia-Malaysia-Thailand Growth Triangle (IMT-GT) Greater Mekong

Sub-Region (GMS) Cambodia - Laos - Viet Nam (CLV) Development Triangle and Ayeyawady - Chao Phrayashy

Mekong Economic Cooperation Strategy (ACMECS) are effective mechanisms to accelerate the implementation of

the regional initiatives In this regard we welcome the work that has been done by these sub-regions and look

forward to consolidating and prioritising existing work plans on connectivity into the Master Plan taking into

account related existing sub-regional cooperation frameworks We also look forward to the implementation of more

projects in the sub-regions to contribute to the narrowing of the development divide and enabling the sub-regions to

link with the rest of ASEAN region and beyond

reiterate our commitment to ensure that economic development in our region is consistent with the long term

sustainability of our natural resources

We stress the importance of the promotion of creative economy in paving the way for future growth based on

creativity innovation and protection of intellectual property rights We believe that the creative economy which

draws on ASEANs rich cultural heritage combined with creative inputs from people in ASEAN will add substantial

value to its goods and services and will help promote sustainable growth in the region

We affirm ASEANs commitment to fully address socio-economic disparities and poverty that persist across ASEAN

Member States by developing and implementing an ASEAN Roadmap towards realising the Millennium

Development Goals (MDG) To this end we renew our commitment in the Joint Declaration on the Attainment of

the Millennium Development Goals in ASEAN underscoring the importance of better coordination and participation

of all key stakeholders including public and private sector civil societies and UN specialised agencies in

implementing the MDGs We call upon ASEAN Member States to continue supporting the initiatives for poverty

1 ASEAN Awareness and Community Building

With people at its heart and their participation as the basis of

creating a Community of and for the peoples the First ASCC Council

Meeting identified the need to cultivate better historical and cultural

understanding between the peoples especially at the grass roots level

This is key for ASEAN to move forward with a common vision and

aspiration while appreciating its political economic and socio-cultural

diversities Promoting ASEAN awareness through shared identity and

cultural heritage would be fundamentally important in building the

ASEAN Community

2 Education

At the First meeting of the ASCC Council in August 2009

the meeting highlighted the need to empower people through education

in order to successfully realize the ASEAN Community Education could

also support ASEAN Awareness and ASEAN Connectivity both in terms

of physical infrastructure as well as spiritual and cultural connectivity to

15th create the feeling of being an ASEAN citizen At the ASEAN

Summit in October 2009 ASEAN Leaders under the recommendation of

the ASCC Council endorsed the Cha-am Hua Hin Declaration on

Strengthening Cooperation on Education to Achieve an ASEAN Caring

and Sharing Community

ABEAN agreed to highlight and maximize the richness and

diversity of cultures through art heritage and cultural activities in the

region as well as through media cooperation and networking to promote

ASEAN awareness and identity In Thailand the ASEAN Association of

Thailand has been established to be the main vehicle to promote ASEAN

awareness the community building process as well as how ASEAN as an

organization could bring about greater benefit to the people in the region

In addition the ASEAN Education Ministers are in the

process of drawing up the ASEANs Five Year Work Plan on Education

which is aimed at enhancing education standards and promoting ASEAN

community

3 The Promotion and Protection of the Rights of Women and

Children

On the human rights front the ASCC Council in close

collaboration with the ASEAN Ministers Meeting on Social Welfare and

Development (AMMSWD) and the ASEAN Committee on Women

(ACW) successfully concluded the Term of Reference of the ASEAN

Commission on the Promotion and Protection of the Rights of Women

and Children (ACWC) which would be launched at the 16th ASEAN

Summit in Ha Noi Viet Nam The ASCC firmly believes that the ACWC

is an integral part that would complement the ASEAN Commission on

Human Rights (AICHR) on ensuring greater promotion and protection of

human rights in ASEAN

4 Other issues that affect livelihood and well-being of the people in

the region

The ASCC Council has also strived to move forward with

the issues that affect the livelihood and the well-being of the peoples in

the region through implementing the ASCC Blueprint which would serve

as the roadmap to realizing the people-centered ASEAN Community

They include joint responses and cooperation on natural disasters health

and infectious diseases environment the attainment of the Millennium

Development Goal (MDGs) poverty eradication and the social impact of

the global financial crisis as well as the ASEAN Connectivity These

have been reflected through various Leaders declarationsstatements at

the 14th and is ASEAN Summits

In addition there are plans to effectively address the

problems of poverty and health standards through the possible setting up

of funds or financing schemes to support livelihood and employment

projects

5 ASEAN Connectivity

As ASEAN Leaders have put ASEAN Connectivity at the

top of the agenda of ASEAN Community Building it is important not

only to enhance infrastructure linkages within the region but to put

human factor into the process of building an ASEAN Community Not

only would ASEAN Connectivity lead to enhanced infrastructure

networks but connectivity should incorporate better linkages and better

understanding across the whole spectrum of ASEAN peoples The first

High Level Task Force on ASEAN Connectivity was convened in March

2010 and agreed on the need to include promoting education and

ASEAN cultural understanding in the Master Plan for ASEAN

Connectivity The ASCC Council should forge ahead with the

community building process that would make ASEAN Community a

diverse and culturally rich people-centered and socially responsible

community while uplifting the well-being of the people in this region

especially the realization of the ASEAN-China and the ASEAN-Korea Free Trade Agreements (FTA) and the entry into force of the ASEANshyAustralia-New Zealand FTA (AANZFTA) and the ASEAN-India Trade In Goods Agreement With Japan further improvement in the trade in services and investment chapters under the ASEAN-Japan Comprehensive Economic Partnership (AJCEP) Agreement (AJCEP) are being considered We recognised that ASEANs Plus One FTAs have provided substantial market access for ASEAN exports to our major trading partners especially China and India the two big emerging economies of Asia

We the Heads of StateGovernment of the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) met in Ha Noi

Viet Nam on 8-9 April 2010 for the 16th ASEAN Summit We discussed the situation of the global economy

and were pleased to note that it is showing signs of recovery from the global financial and economic crisis

although this recovery is expected to be slow Nonetheless we believe that ASEANs inherent dynamism

will help the region sustain its recovery and attain higher economic growth

We are detennined for ASEAN to sustain its recovery in the aftermath of the global financial crisis and economic

downturn We therefore re-affirm our commitment towards regional integration and building the ASEAN

Commupity and re-affirm our willingness and readiness to participate in coordinated efforts towards sustained

global economic recovery as follows

1 Ensuring Financial Stability in ASEAN and Sustained Recovery

We will cooperate in restoring the health of financial systems and maintaining supportive macroeconomic

policies We will strengthen regional surveillance and economic monitoring capacities for an early detection of

macro-financial risks and vulnerabilities

regulations prudential frameworks and International Financial Institutions

We will maintain monetary and fiscal support while preparing for orderly unwinding of expansionary policies until

the recovery is on a finn footing We note that as market conditions and the economic outlook are improving we

need to reconsider the continued support of monetary and fiscal policies for sustained recovery and resumption of

private credit flows in our economies

We affirm the need to start working on mechanisms to reverse the fiscal and monetary stimulus and then phase out

these policy accommodations We are fully confident that at the appropriate time we will be able to do so

effectively to ensure sustained recovery and development We welcome the inaugural Informal East Asia Summit

(EAS) Finance Ministers Meeting in May 2010 in Tashkent Uzbekistan

2 Enhancing ASEAN Economic Integration

We re-affirm our resolve to realise the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) which will establish ASEAN as a

single market and production base by 2015 We task all the AEC Council Ministers and officials concerned to

ensure that the AEC Blueprint and the strategic schedules contained therein are implemented in a timely manner

We will enhance cooperation and dialogue with our Dialogue Partners especially in implementing fully the

agreements signed and addressing regional and global challenges

We will continue to reject protectionism re-affirm our commitment to refrain from raising new barriers to trade and

investment and keep our markets open We remain committed to the WTO Doha Development Agenda and look

balanced conclusion of the Doha Development Agenda the continued rejection of protectionism and delivering a

global stimulus package to sustain global economic recovery ASEAN strongly believes that it can contribute to the

deliberations of the G-20 through the continued participation of the ASEAN Chair and the ASEAN Se~retaryshy

General in future G-20 Summits

3 Fostering Infrastructure Development

We re-affirm the importance of regional infrastructure development and enhancing connectivity that will playa

crucial role in achieving sustainable global economic recovery through enhanced trade investment tourism and

development We announced the ASEAN Connectivity Initiative at our 15th ASEAN Summit in Thailand in October

2009 to focus our resources and efforts in deepening connectivity within ASEAN and its sub-regional groupings

and in the broader regional framework of East Asia In this regard we task the High Level Task Force on ASEAN

Connectivity to develop the Master Plan on ASEAN Connectivity with recommended measures targets and

tlrnelines-necessary to achieve ASEAN Connectivity for the consideration of the ASEAN Member States We take

note otseveral ASEAN Dialogue Partners interest in ASEAN Connectivity during the Post Ministerial Conferences

and Summits in 2009 and therefore encourage their support towards the full implementation of the Master Plan on

ASEAN Connectivity

We re-affirm the importance of mobilising the regions savings to finance the huge infrastructure needs in the

region In this regard weare encouraged by the progress made under the ASEAN Infrastructure Financing

Mechanism (AIFM) We urge Member States to continue to explore effective financing instruments and policies

including a possible ASEAN Infrastructure Fund for viable regional infrastructure investments

relevant ASEAN Ministers in 2010 to further enhance coherence in the regional connectivity agenda and the priority

measures for intraregional transport energy and information and communication linkages

We recognise that sub-regional cooperation arrangements such as the Brunei-lndonesia-Malaysia-Philippines

East ASEAN Growth Area (BIMP-EAGA) Indonesia-Malaysia-Thailand Growth Triangle (IMT-GT) Greater Mekong

Sub-Region (GMS) Cambodia - Laos - Viet Nam (CLV) Development Triangle and Ayeyawady - Chao Phrayashy

Mekong Economic Cooperation Strategy (ACMECS) are effective mechanisms to accelerate the implementation of

the regional initiatives In this regard we welcome the work that has been done by these sub-regions and look

forward to consolidating and prioritising existing work plans on connectivity into the Master Plan taking into

account related existing sub-regional cooperation frameworks We also look forward to the implementation of more

projects in the sub-regions to contribute to the narrowing of the development divide and enabling the sub-regions to

link with the rest of ASEAN region and beyond

reiterate our commitment to ensure that economic development in our region is consistent with the long term

sustainability of our natural resources

We stress the importance of the promotion of creative economy in paving the way for future growth based on

creativity innovation and protection of intellectual property rights We believe that the creative economy which

draws on ASEANs rich cultural heritage combined with creative inputs from people in ASEAN will add substantial

value to its goods and services and will help promote sustainable growth in the region

We affirm ASEANs commitment to fully address socio-economic disparities and poverty that persist across ASEAN

Member States by developing and implementing an ASEAN Roadmap towards realising the Millennium

Development Goals (MDG) To this end we renew our commitment in the Joint Declaration on the Attainment of

the Millennium Development Goals in ASEAN underscoring the importance of better coordination and participation

of all key stakeholders including public and private sector civil societies and UN specialised agencies in

implementing the MDGs We call upon ASEAN Member States to continue supporting the initiatives for poverty

The ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community Council

2009-2010

Introduction

After the ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community (ASCC)

14th Blueprint was approved by the ASEAN Leaders at the ASEAN

Summit in Clia-am Hua Hin Thailand in March 2009 the Socio-Cultural

Community Council (ASCC Council) convened its first meeting on 24 )f

August 2009 and the second meeting on 22 October 2009 Both the

meetings were chaired by HE Mr Kasit Piromya Minister of Foreign

Affairs of Thailand in his capacity as the Chair of ASCC

The First and the Second ASCC Council Meetings have

identified some priorities under the ASCC Blueprint as followsshy

1 ASEAN Awareness and Community Building

With people at its heart and their participation as the basis of

creating a Community of and for the peoples the First ASCC Council

Meeting identified the need to cultivate better historical and cultural

understanding between the peoples especially at the grass roots level

This is key for ASEAN to move forward with a common vision and

aspiration while appreciating its political economic and socio-cultural

diversities Promoting ASEAN awareness through shared identity and

cultural heritage would be fundamentally important in building the

ASEAN Community

2 Education

At the First meeting of the ASCC Council in August 2009

the meeting highlighted the need to empower people through education

in order to successfully realize the ASEAN Community Education could

also support ASEAN Awareness and ASEAN Connectivity both in terms

of physical infrastructure as well as spiritual and cultural connectivity to

15th create the feeling of being an ASEAN citizen At the ASEAN

Summit in October 2009 ASEAN Leaders under the recommendation of

the ASCC Council endorsed the Cha-am Hua Hin Declaration on

Strengthening Cooperation on Education to Achieve an ASEAN Caring

and Sharing Community

ABEAN agreed to highlight and maximize the richness and

diversity of cultures through art heritage and cultural activities in the

region as well as through media cooperation and networking to promote

ASEAN awareness and identity In Thailand the ASEAN Association of

Thailand has been established to be the main vehicle to promote ASEAN

awareness the community building process as well as how ASEAN as an

organization could bring about greater benefit to the people in the region

In addition the ASEAN Education Ministers are in the

process of drawing up the ASEANs Five Year Work Plan on Education

which is aimed at enhancing education standards and promoting ASEAN

community

3 The Promotion and Protection of the Rights of Women and

Children

On the human rights front the ASCC Council in close

collaboration with the ASEAN Ministers Meeting on Social Welfare and

Development (AMMSWD) and the ASEAN Committee on Women

(ACW) successfully concluded the Term of Reference of the ASEAN

Commission on the Promotion and Protection of the Rights of Women

and Children (ACWC) which would be launched at the 16th ASEAN

Summit in Ha Noi Viet Nam The ASCC firmly believes that the ACWC

is an integral part that would complement the ASEAN Commission on

Human Rights (AICHR) on ensuring greater promotion and protection of

human rights in ASEAN

4 Other issues that affect livelihood and well-being of the people in

the region

The ASCC Council has also strived to move forward with

the issues that affect the livelihood and the well-being of the peoples in

the region through implementing the ASCC Blueprint which would serve

as the roadmap to realizing the people-centered ASEAN Community

They include joint responses and cooperation on natural disasters health

and infectious diseases environment the attainment of the Millennium

Development Goal (MDGs) poverty eradication and the social impact of

the global financial crisis as well as the ASEAN Connectivity These

have been reflected through various Leaders declarationsstatements at

the 14th and is ASEAN Summits

In addition there are plans to effectively address the

problems of poverty and health standards through the possible setting up

of funds or financing schemes to support livelihood and employment

projects

5 ASEAN Connectivity

As ASEAN Leaders have put ASEAN Connectivity at the

top of the agenda of ASEAN Community Building it is important not

only to enhance infrastructure linkages within the region but to put

human factor into the process of building an ASEAN Community Not

only would ASEAN Connectivity lead to enhanced infrastructure

networks but connectivity should incorporate better linkages and better

understanding across the whole spectrum of ASEAN peoples The first

High Level Task Force on ASEAN Connectivity was convened in March

2010 and agreed on the need to include promoting education and

ASEAN cultural understanding in the Master Plan for ASEAN

Connectivity The ASCC Council should forge ahead with the

community building process that would make ASEAN Community a

diverse and culturally rich people-centered and socially responsible

community while uplifting the well-being of the people in this region

Coordinating Centre for Humanitarian Assistance (AHA Centre) to establish linkages and cooperation with other humanitarian centres in the region including the United Nations Humanitarian Response Depot in Subang Malaysia

34 In the face of continued threat of pandemic diseases we stressed the need to continue strengthening our preparedness and response efforts We requested our Ministers and officials to develop a regional pandemic preparedness plan as called for in the ASCC Blueprint based on the results of a to-be-ready region-wide assessment on gaps in pandemic preparedness

ASEAN LEADERS STATEMENT ON SUSTAINED RECOVERY AND DEVELOPMENT

We the Heads of StateGovernment of the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) met in Ha Noi

Viet Nam on 8-9 April 2010 for the 16th ASEAN Summit We discussed the situation of the global economy

and were pleased to note that it is showing signs of recovery from the global financial and economic crisis

although this recovery is expected to be slow Nonetheless we believe that ASEANs inherent dynamism

will help the region sustain its recovery and attain higher economic growth

We are detennined for ASEAN to sustain its recovery in the aftermath of the global financial crisis and economic

downturn We therefore re-affirm our commitment towards regional integration and building the ASEAN

Commupity and re-affirm our willingness and readiness to participate in coordinated efforts towards sustained

global economic recovery as follows

1 Ensuring Financial Stability in ASEAN and Sustained Recovery

We will cooperate in restoring the health of financial systems and maintaining supportive macroeconomic

policies We will strengthen regional surveillance and economic monitoring capacities for an early detection of

macro-financial risks and vulnerabilities

We affirm our determination to enhance regional financial stability through such regional initiatives as the Chiangshy

Mai Initiative Multilateralisation (CMIM) and the Asian Bond Markets Initiative (ABMI) the Credit Guarantee

Investment Facility (CGIF) and the ongoing enhancement of the ASEAN Surveillance Office We reiterate our

willingness to achieve a more balanced international financial architecture by participating in reforms of financial

regulations prudential frameworks and International Financial Institutions

We will maintain monetary and fiscal support while preparing for orderly unwinding of expansionary policies until

the recovery is on a finn footing We note that as market conditions and the economic outlook are improving we

need to reconsider the continued support of monetary and fiscal policies for sustained recovery and resumption of

private credit flows in our economies

We affirm the need to start working on mechanisms to reverse the fiscal and monetary stimulus and then phase out

these policy accommodations We are fully confident that at the appropriate time we will be able to do so

effectively to ensure sustained recovery and development We welcome the inaugural Informal East Asia Summit

(EAS) Finance Ministers Meeting in May 2010 in Tashkent Uzbekistan

2 Enhancing ASEAN Economic Integration

We re-affirm our resolve to realise the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) which will establish ASEAN as a

single market and production base by 2015 We task all the AEC Council Ministers and officials concerned to

ensure that the AEC Blueprint and the strategic schedules contained therein are implemented in a timely manner

We will enhance cooperation and dialogue with our Dialogue Partners especially in implementing fully the

agreements signed and addressing regional and global challenges

We will continue to reject protectionism re-affirm our commitment to refrain from raising new barriers to trade and

investment and keep our markets open We remain committed to the WTO Doha Development Agenda and look

forward to the early and successful conclusion of the Doha Round

We welcome the G-20 Leaders Statement made at the Pittsburgh Summit in September 2009 and the APEC

Leaders Declaration made in Singapore in November 2009 particularly on the importance of an ambitious and

2

balanced conclusion of the Doha Development Agenda the continued rejection of protectionism and delivering a

global stimulus package to sustain global economic recovery ASEAN strongly believes that it can contribute to the

deliberations of the G-20 through the continued participation of the ASEAN Chair and the ASEAN Se~retaryshy

General in future G-20 Summits

3 Fostering Infrastructure Development

We re-affirm the importance of regional infrastructure development and enhancing connectivity that will playa

crucial role in achieving sustainable global economic recovery through enhanced trade investment tourism and

development We announced the ASEAN Connectivity Initiative at our 15th ASEAN Summit in Thailand in October

2009 to focus our resources and efforts in deepening connectivity within ASEAN and its sub-regional groupings

and in the broader regional framework of East Asia In this regard we task the High Level Task Force on ASEAN

Connectivity to develop the Master Plan on ASEAN Connectivity with recommended measures targets and

tlrnelines-necessary to achieve ASEAN Connectivity for the consideration of the ASEAN Member States We take

note otseveral ASEAN Dialogue Partners interest in ASEAN Connectivity during the Post Ministerial Conferences

and Summits in 2009 and therefore encourage their support towards the full implementation of the Master Plan on

ASEAN Connectivity

We re-affirm the importance of mobilising the regions savings to finance the huge infrastructure needs in the

region In this regard weare encouraged by the progress made under the ASEAN Infrastructure Financing

Mechanism (AIFM) We urge Member States to continue to explore effective financing instruments and policies

including a possible ASEAN Infrastructure Fund for viable regional infrastructure investments

We agree to enhance efforts to pursue physical infrastructure development and the policy and institutional

development in transport ICT and energy sectors in facilitation of transport and logistics necessary to realise

effective connectivity which would reinforce ASEANs position as a hub of the East Asian regi6n for transport

information technology tourism energy and logistics We task the relevant Ministers particularly the ASEAN

Transport Ministers (ATM) the ASEAN Telecommunications and ICT Ministers (TELMIN) and the ASEAN Ministers

on Energy (AMEM) to expedite the completion of the vital physical road rail air inland waterways sea gas and

Open Skies and the ASEAN framework agreements on inter-state transport multimodal transport facilitation of

goods in transit regional gas pipeline connections and power grid We look forward to the completion and

adoption of the ASEAN Strategic Transport Plan (ASTP) 2011-2015 and the ASEAN ICT Master Plan 2011-2015

as well as the implementation of the ASEAN Plan of Action for Energy Cooperation (APAEC) 2010-2015 by the

relevant ASEAN Ministers in 2010 to further enhance coherence in the regional connectivity agenda and the priority

measures for intraregional transport energy and information and communication linkages

We recognise that sub-regional cooperation arrangements such as the Brunei-lndonesia-Malaysia-Philippines

East ASEAN Growth Area (BIMP-EAGA) Indonesia-Malaysia-Thailand Growth Triangle (IMT-GT) Greater Mekong

Sub-Region (GMS) Cambodia - Laos - Viet Nam (CLV) Development Triangle and Ayeyawady - Chao Phrayashy

Mekong Economic Cooperation Strategy (ACMECS) are effective mechanisms to accelerate the implementation of

the regional initiatives In this regard we welcome the work that has been done by these sub-regions and look

forward to consolidating and prioritising existing work plans on connectivity into the Master Plan taking into

account related existing sub-regional cooperation frameworks We also look forward to the implementation of more

projects in the sub-regions to contribute to the narrowing of the development divide and enabling the sub-regions to

link with the rest of ASEAN region and beyond

4 Promoting Sustainable Development

Member States by developing and implementing an ASEAN Roadmap towards realising the Millennium

The ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community Council

2009-2010

Introduction

After the ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community (ASCC)

14th Blueprint was approved by the ASEAN Leaders at the ASEAN

Summit in Clia-am Hua Hin Thailand in March 2009 the Socio-Cultural

Community Council (ASCC Council) convened its first meeting on 24 )f

August 2009 and the second meeting on 22 October 2009 Both the

meetings were chaired by HE Mr Kasit Piromya Minister of Foreign

Affairs of Thailand in his capacity as the Chair of ASCC

The First and the Second ASCC Council Meetings have

identified some priorities under the ASCC Blueprint as followsshy

1 ASEAN Awareness and Community Building

With people at its heart and their participation as the basis of

creating a Community of and for the peoples the First ASCC Council

Meeting identified the need to cultivate better historical and cultural

understanding between the peoples especially at the grass roots level

This is key for ASEAN to move forward with a common vision and

aspiration while appreciating its political economic and socio-cultural

diversities Promoting ASEAN awareness through shared identity and

cultural heritage would be fundamentally important in building the

ASEAN Community

2 Education

At the First meeting of the ASCC Council in August 2009

the meeting highlighted the need to empower people through education

in order to successfully realize the ASEAN Community Education could

also support ASEAN Awareness and ASEAN Connectivity both in terms

of physical infrastructure as well as spiritual and cultural connectivity to

15th create the feeling of being an ASEAN citizen At the ASEAN

Summit in October 2009 ASEAN Leaders under the recommendation of

the ASCC Council endorsed the Cha-am Hua Hin Declaration on

Strengthening Cooperation on Education to Achieve an ASEAN Caring

and Sharing Community

ABEAN agreed to highlight and maximize the richness and

diversity of cultures through art heritage and cultural activities in the

region as well as through media cooperation and networking to promote

ASEAN awareness and identity In Thailand the ASEAN Association of

Thailand has been established to be the main vehicle to promote ASEAN

awareness the community building process as well as how ASEAN as an

organization could bring about greater benefit to the people in the region

In addition the ASEAN Education Ministers are in the

process of drawing up the ASEANs Five Year Work Plan on Education

which is aimed at enhancing education standards and promoting ASEAN

community

3 The Promotion and Protection of the Rights of Women and

Children

On the human rights front the ASCC Council in close

collaboration with the ASEAN Ministers Meeting on Social Welfare and

Development (AMMSWD) and the ASEAN Committee on Women

(ACW) successfully concluded the Term of Reference of the ASEAN

Commission on the Promotion and Protection of the Rights of Women

and Children (ACWC) which would be launched at the 16th ASEAN

Summit in Ha Noi Viet Nam The ASCC firmly believes that the ACWC

is an integral part that would complement the ASEAN Commission on

Human Rights (AICHR) on ensuring greater promotion and protection of

human rights in ASEAN

4 Other issues that affect livelihood and well-being of the people in

the region

The ASCC Council has also strived to move forward with

the issues that affect the livelihood and the well-being of the peoples in

the region through implementing the ASCC Blueprint which would serve

as the roadmap to realizing the people-centered ASEAN Community

They include joint responses and cooperation on natural disasters health

and infectious diseases environment the attainment of the Millennium

Development Goal (MDGs) poverty eradication and the social impact of

the global financial crisis as well as the ASEAN Connectivity These

have been reflected through various Leaders declarationsstatements at

the 14th and is ASEAN Summits

In addition there are plans to effectively address the

problems of poverty and health standards through the possible setting up

of funds or financing schemes to support livelihood and employment

projects

5 ASEAN Connectivity

As ASEAN Leaders have put ASEAN Connectivity at the

top of the agenda of ASEAN Community Building it is important not

only to enhance infrastructure linkages within the region but to put

human factor into the process of building an ASEAN Community Not

only would ASEAN Connectivity lead to enhanced infrastructure

networks but connectivity should incorporate better linkages and better

understanding across the whole spectrum of ASEAN peoples The first

High Level Task Force on ASEAN Connectivity was convened in March

2010 and agreed on the need to include promoting education and

ASEAN cultural understanding in the Master Plan for ASEAN

Connectivity The ASCC Council should forge ahead with the

community building process that would make ASEAN Community a

diverse and culturally rich people-centered and socially responsible

community while uplifting the well-being of the people in this region

39 We emphasized the importance of good projects and adequate resources for their implementation In this regard we instructed our sectoral Ministers to strengthen coordination and accelerate the implementation of the IAI Work Plan II We tasked the IAI Task Force and the ASEAN Secretariat to coordinate closely with donor partners to ensure the good outcome of the Third IAI Development Cooperation Forum (IDCF-3) possibly in 2010

44 We looked forward to the convening of the 2nd ASEAN-Russia Summit back-to-back with the 1i h ASEAN Summit in Ha Noi by the end of this year and tasked our officials to work closely with Russia to make this event a success

45 We recalled the agreement between the Leaders of ASEAN and the US to hold the 2nd Leaders Meeting in 2010 and emphasized the

48 We discussed extensively the global economic and financial situation and its impacts on our region We continued to support the Gshy20 framework for strong sustainable and balanced growth We highly appreciated the G-20s good practice to consult regional organisations to enhance its representativeness and broaden its perspective In this regard we strongly believed that the current Chair of ASEAN Viet Nam and subsequent ASEAN Chairs would continue to be invited to the G-20 Summits this year and in the future respectively to offer and share ASEANs constructive contributions views and good experiences

12

trade and investment to discuss and devise solutions to major regional and global issues

56 We endorsed the exchange between Indonesia and Brunei Darussalam in their turns for the ASEAN Chairmanship and welcomed Indonesia as the ASEAN Chair in 2011 In this regard we affirmed that such exchange shall not create precedence in the future

REAFFIRMING that the UNFCCC and its Kyoto Protocol constitute the current legal framework and legal instrument for the international community to combat global climate change and that comprehensive effective and binding outcomes of the Bali Roadmap are essential for furthering the implementation of the UNFCCC and the Kyoto Protocol and should be addressed by a consensusshybased and transparent manner

FURTHER REAFFIRMING the principle of equity and in accordance with their common but differentiated responsibilities and respective capabilities and national circumstances

UNDERSTANDING that while the Copenhagen Accord is not a legally binding instrument it provides elements that could be considered as inputs to the two-track process of the Ad-hoc Working Group on Long-term Cooperative Actions (AWG-LCA) and the Ad-hoc Working Group on Further Commitments for Annex I Parties under the Kyoto Protocol (AWG-KP) aimed at reaching at a fair equitable and legally binding agreement that ensures a successful COP 16CMP 6 in Mexico gt

NOTING the large number of countries associating themselves with the Copenhagen Accord

RECOGNIZING that the Southeast Asian region is also vulnerable to climate change which will seriously affect most of aspects of livelihood and limit our development options for the future including our efforts towards the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals

5 Urge all countries particularly developed countries to ensure that their existing and future unilateral policies and measures as well as market-based mechanisms in addressing climate change will not negatively affect international trade as well as the sustainable economic and social development of developing countries taking into full account the specific needs and special situations of the least developed countries

6 Urge developed countries to fulfill their obligations under the UNFCCC and to provide scaled-up new and additional adequate and predictable funding to the developing countries taking into full account the specific needs and special situations of the least developed countries and those most affected by climate change which shall be provided with incentives to continue to develop on a low emission pathway

7 Encourage all developing countries to make active contributions to the global efforts through the development and implementation of Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs) on a voluntary basis in accordance with their different national circumstances while welcoming adequate financial and technical support that is made available to them

8 Encourage South-South cooperation to support ASEAN Member States in addressing the impacts of climate change through technical cooperation and capacity building

9 Reaffirm that agreement on and effective implementation of Reduced Emission from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD)-plus mechanisms is critical for contributions by ASEAN Members States to mitigate emissions and offers major opportunities for enhancing biodiversity conservation and sustainable use of natural resources as well as supporting the livelihood of local communities in a sustainable manner

10 Work constructively together to ensure that the outcome of COP 16CMP 6 will incorporate longshyterm cooperative actions to address climate change in accordance with principles and provisions of the Convention and the Bali Action Plan in particular on mitigation adaptation finance technology transfer capacity building and taking into account the specific national circumstances of Parties and a future agreement of the Second Commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol

ASEAN LEADERS STATEMENT ON SUSTAINED RECOVERY AND DEVELOPMENT

We the Heads of StateGovernment of the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) met in Ha Noi

Viet Nam on 8-9 April 2010 for the 16th ASEAN Summit We discussed the situation of the global economy

and were pleased to note that it is showing signs of recovery from the global financial and economic crisis

although this recovery is expected to be slow Nonetheless we believe that ASEANs inherent dynamism

will help the region sustain its recovery and attain higher economic growth

We are detennined for ASEAN to sustain its recovery in the aftermath of the global financial crisis and economic

downturn We therefore re-affirm our commitment towards regional integration and building the ASEAN

Commupity and re-affirm our willingness and readiness to participate in coordinated efforts towards sustained

global economic recovery as follows

1 Ensuring Financial Stability in ASEAN and Sustained Recovery

We will cooperate in restoring the health of financial systems and maintaining supportive macroeconomic

policies We will strengthen regional surveillance and economic monitoring capacities for an early detection of

macro-financial risks and vulnerabilities

We affirm our determination to enhance regional financial stability through such regional initiatives as the Chiangshy

Mai Initiative Multilateralisation (CMIM) and the Asian Bond Markets Initiative (ABMI) the Credit Guarantee

Investment Facility (CGIF) and the ongoing enhancement of the ASEAN Surveillance Office We reiterate our

willingness to achieve a more balanced international financial architecture by participating in reforms of financial

regulations prudential frameworks and International Financial Institutions

We will maintain monetary and fiscal support while preparing for orderly unwinding of expansionary policies until

the recovery is on a finn footing We note that as market conditions and the economic outlook are improving we

need to reconsider the continued support of monetary and fiscal policies for sustained recovery and resumption of

private credit flows in our economies

The ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community Council

2009-2010

Introduction

After the ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community (ASCC)

14th Blueprint was approved by the ASEAN Leaders at the ASEAN

Summit in Clia-am Hua Hin Thailand in March 2009 the Socio-Cultural

Community Council (ASCC Council) convened its first meeting on 24 )f

August 2009 and the second meeting on 22 October 2009 Both the

meetings were chaired by HE Mr Kasit Piromya Minister of Foreign

Affairs of Thailand in his capacity as the Chair of ASCC

The First and the Second ASCC Council Meetings have

identified some priorities under the ASCC Blueprint as followsshy

1 ASEAN Awareness and Community Building

With people at its heart and their participation as the basis of

creating a Community of and for the peoples the First ASCC Council

Meeting identified the need to cultivate better historical and cultural

understanding between the peoples especially at the grass roots level

This is key for ASEAN to move forward with a common vision and

aspiration while appreciating its political economic and socio-cultural

diversities Promoting ASEAN awareness through shared identity and

cultural heritage would be fundamentally important in building the

ASEAN Community

2 Education

At the First meeting of the ASCC Council in August 2009

the meeting highlighted the need to empower people through education

in order to successfully realize the ASEAN Community Education could

also support ASEAN Awareness and ASEAN Connectivity both in terms

of physical infrastructure as well as spiritual and cultural connectivity to

15th create the feeling of being an ASEAN citizen At the ASEAN

Summit in October 2009 ASEAN Leaders under the recommendation of

the ASCC Council endorsed the Cha-am Hua Hin Declaration on

Strengthening Cooperation on Education to Achieve an ASEAN Caring

and Sharing Community

ABEAN agreed to highlight and maximize the richness and

diversity of cultures through art heritage and cultural activities in the

region as well as through media cooperation and networking to promote

ASEAN awareness and identity In Thailand the ASEAN Association of

Thailand has been established to be the main vehicle to promote ASEAN

awareness the community building process as well as how ASEAN as an

organization could bring about greater benefit to the people in the region

In addition the ASEAN Education Ministers are in the

process of drawing up the ASEANs Five Year Work Plan on Education

which is aimed at enhancing education standards and promoting ASEAN

community

3 The Promotion and Protection of the Rights of Women and

Children

On the human rights front the ASCC Council in close

collaboration with the ASEAN Ministers Meeting on Social Welfare and

Development (AMMSWD) and the ASEAN Committee on Women

(ACW) successfully concluded the Term of Reference of the ASEAN

Commission on the Promotion and Protection of the Rights of Women

and Children (ACWC) which would be launched at the 16th ASEAN

Summit in Ha Noi Viet Nam The ASCC firmly believes that the ACWC

is an integral part that would complement the ASEAN Commission on

Human Rights (AICHR) on ensuring greater promotion and protection of

human rights in ASEAN

4 Other issues that affect livelihood and well-being of the people in

the region

The ASCC Council has also strived to move forward with

the issues that affect the livelihood and the well-being of the peoples in

the region through implementing the ASCC Blueprint which would serve

as the roadmap to realizing the people-centered ASEAN Community

They include joint responses and cooperation on natural disasters health

and infectious diseases environment the attainment of the Millennium

Development Goal (MDGs) poverty eradication and the social impact of

the global financial crisis as well as the ASEAN Connectivity These

have been reflected through various Leaders declarationsstatements at

the 14th and is ASEAN Summits

In addition there are plans to effectively address the

problems of poverty and health standards through the possible setting up

of funds or financing schemes to support livelihood and employment

projects

5 ASEAN Connectivity

As ASEAN Leaders have put ASEAN Connectivity at the

top of the agenda of ASEAN Community Building it is important not

only to enhance infrastructure linkages within the region but to put

human factor into the process of building an ASEAN Community Not

only would ASEAN Connectivity lead to enhanced infrastructure

networks but connectivity should incorporate better linkages and better

understanding across the whole spectrum of ASEAN peoples The first

High Level Task Force on ASEAN Connectivity was convened in March

2010 and agreed on the need to include promoting education and

ASEAN cultural understanding in the Master Plan for ASEAN

Connectivity The ASCC Council should forge ahead with the

community building process that would make ASEAN Community a

diverse and culturally rich people-centered and socially responsible

community while uplifting the well-being of the people in this region

importance of this Meeting to further enhance the ASEAN-US partnership for enduring peace and prosperity In this regard we extended the invitation to President Obama to participate in that event which Viet Nam offered to host in 2010

46 We also recalled the agreement to convene the 3rd ASEAN- UN Summit on the occasion of 1yth ASEAN Summit in 2010 in Ha Noi and looked forward to working closely with the UN on important regional and international issues of mutual interest

47 We noted with appreciation the interest of some Dialogue Partners of ASEAN to convene their respective Summit with ASEAN In this connection we tasked our relevant Ministers and Senior Officials to look into the issues and make recommendations to us

International and Regional Issues

48 We discussed extensively the global economic and financial situation and its impacts on our region We continued to support the Gshy20 framework for strong sustainable and balanced growth We highly appreciated the G-20s good practice to consult regional organisations to enhance its representativeness and broaden its perspective In this regard we strongly believed that the current Chair of ASEAN Viet Nam and subsequent ASEAN Chairs would continue to be invited to the G-20 Summits this year and in the future respectively to offer and share ASEANs constructive contributions views and good experiences

49 We reaffirmed our commitment to bringing the Doha round to an early and successful conclusion with a comprehensive and balanced outcome that benefits all parties and makes the Doha Round a round for development We resolved to reject protectionism and remain open to global and regional trade

50 We were briefed by HE Prime Minister Thein Sein of Myanmar on recent political developments and the progress made in the implementation of the Roadmap for Democracy especially the preparations for the general election in Myanmar in 2010 We underscored the importance of national reconciliation in Myanmar and the holding of the general election in a free fair and inclusive manner thus contributing to Myanmars stability and development We also stressed the need that Myanmar would continue to work with ASEAN and United Nations in this process

11

51 We welcomed all international efforts to promote nuclear nonshyproliferation nuclear disarmament and peaceful uses of nuclear energy including the convening of the upcoming Nuclear Security Summit in Washington DC and the NPT Review Conference in New York We reaffirmed our full support to the Presidency of the Philippines of the 2010 NPT Review Conference for a successful outcome of the Conference which enables the balanced implementation of the Treatys three pillars

52 We noted the recent developments on the Korean Peninsula and reaffirmed our support for a nuclear weapon-free Korean Peninsula We encouraged all the parties concerned to continue to settlle their disputes through peaceful negotiations

Other Issues

53 We renewed our commitments to building a people-oriented ASEAN through greater peoples participation in our community-building process We were happy with the outcome of our Meeting with Representatives from ASEAN Inter-Parliamentary Assembly (AIPA) in

8th Ha Noi on April and we instructed the ASEAN Secretariat to coordinate with AIPAs counterpart to develop proper modalities for future cooperation between ASEANs executive and fegislative branches

54 We welcomed the outcome of the First Summit of the Mekong River Commission (MRC) held on 4-5 April 2010 in Thailand including the MRC Hua Hin Declaration on Meeting the Needs Keeping the Balance Towards the Sustainable Development of the Mekong River Basin highlighting the need on the sustainable use management and development of water and related resources of the Mekong and enhanced connectivity for the benefit of the countries and people in the basin and beyond We also welcomed Viet Nams initiative to organize a Dialogue on Mekong Sub-regional Development Partnership in the year 2010 which would provide a good basis for dialogue and information sharing among partners towards better harmonization of the ongoing projects and more efficient utilization of available resources

55 We welcomed Viet Nam as the host of the World Economic Forum (WEF) 011 East Asia to be held in Ho Chi Minh City from 6-7 June 2010 As one of WEFs important regional events the WEF on East Asia 2010 in Viet Nam would be a good platform for international business and policy communities across Asia including ASEAN Member States to exchange views on strengthening and expanding economic cooperation

12

trade and investment to discuss and devise solutions to major regional and global issues

56 We endorsed the exchange between Indonesia and Brunei Darussalam in their turns for the ASEAN Chairmanship and welcomed Indonesia as the ASEAN Chair in 2011 In this regard we affirmed that such exchange shall not create precedence in the future

ASEAN LEADERS STATEMENT ON JOINT RESPONSE TO CLIMATE CHANGE

VIETNAM 2010 WE the Heads of StateGovernment of Brunei Darussalam the Kingdom of Cambodia the Republic of Indonesia the Lao Peoples Democratic Republic Malaysia the Union c1f Myanmar the Republic of the Philippines the Republic of Singapore the Kingdom of Thailand and the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam Member States of ASEAN on the occasion of the 16th ASEAN Summit

RENEWING our commitments made in the ASEAN Joint Statement on Climate Change to the 15th session of the Conference of the Parties (COP) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the 5th session of the Conference Parties serving as the Meeting of Parties (CMP) to the Kyoto Protocol (2009) the ASEAN Declaration on the 13th session of COP to the UNFCCC and the 3rd session of the CMP to the Kyoto Protocol (2007) and the ASEAN Declaration on Environmental Sustainability (2007)

REAFFIRMING that the UNFCCC and its Kyoto Protocol constitute the current legal framework and legal instrument for the international community to combat global climate change and that comprehensive effective and binding outcomes of the Bali Roadmap are essential for furthering the implementation of the UNFCCC and the Kyoto Protocol and should be addressed by a consensusshybased and transparent manner

FURTHER REAFFIRMING the principle of equity and in accordance with their common but differentiated responsibilities and respective capabilities and national circumstances

UNDERSTANDING that while the Copenhagen Accord is not a legally binding instrument it provides elements that could be considered as inputs to the two-track process of the Ad-hoc Working Group on Long-term Cooperative Actions (AWG-LCA) and the Ad-hoc Working Group on Further Commitments for Annex I Parties under the Kyoto Protocol (AWG-KP) aimed at reaching at a fair equitable and legally binding agreement that ensures a successful COP 16CMP 6 in Mexico gt

NOTING the large number of countries associating themselves with the Copenhagen Accord

RECOGNIZING that the Southeast Asian region is also vulnerable to climate change which will seriously affect most of aspects of livelihood and limit our development options for the future including our efforts towards the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals

RECOGNIZING the importance of sustainable forest management in ASEAN which will contribute significantly to the international efforts to promote environmental sustainability and to mitigate the effects of climate change

SHARING a vision for an ASEAN Community resilient to climate change and supporting our national and global efforts to combat climate change consistent with our common but differentiated responsibilities and respective capabilities

DO HEREBY DECLARE TO

Towards a global solution to the challenge of climate change ateOP 161CMP 6 ----_bullbull ~-gt ~gt

1 Reaffirm our right to sustainable development and resolve to achieve the ultimate objective of the UNFCCC to stabilize atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations at a level that would prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system and within a time-frame sufficient to allow ecosystems to adapt naturally to climate change to ensure that food production is not threatened and to enable economic development to proceed in a sustainable manner

2 Urge all Parties of UNFCCC to work together to secure a legally binding agreement particularly to limit the increase in average global temperature to below 2 degrees Celsius above the pre-industrial level and encourage all Parties concerned to engage in further discussions to elaborate appropriate provisions which should be concluded at COP 16CMP 6 in December 2010

2

3 Urge developed countries to continue taking the lead by making more ambitious commitments and setting out specific and binding targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the mid-term and longshyterm

4 Call upon developed countries to support developing countries and take full account of the specific needs and special situations of the least developed countries and those most affected by climate change with adequate predictable and sustainable financial resources transfer of technology as well as capacity enhancement to enable adaptation efforts and nationally appropriate mitigation actions by developing countries through effective and new institutional arrangements

5 Urge all countries particularly developed countries to ensure that their existing and future unilateral policies and measures as well as market-based mechanisms in addressing climate change will not negatively affect international trade as well as the sustainable economic and social development of developing countries taking into full account the specific needs and special situations of the least developed countries

6 Urge developed countries to fulfill their obligations under the UNFCCC and to provide scaled-up new and additional adequate and predictable funding to the developing countries taking into full account the specific needs and special situations of the least developed countries and those most affected by climate change which shall be provided with incentives to continue to develop on a low emission pathway

7 Encourage all developing countries to make active contributions to the global efforts through the development and implementation of Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs) on a voluntary basis in accordance with their different national circumstances while welcoming adequate financial and technical support that is made available to them

8 Encourage South-South cooperation to support ASEAN Member States in addressing the impacts of climate change through technical cooperation and capacity building

9 Reaffirm that agreement on and effective implementation of Reduced Emission from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD)-plus mechanisms is critical for contributions by ASEAN Members States to mitigate emissions and offers major opportunities for enhancing biodiversity conservation and sustainable use of natural resources as well as supporting the livelihood of local communities in a sustainable manner

10 Work constructively together to ensure that the outcome of COP 16CMP 6 will incorporate longshyterm cooperative actions to address climate change in accordance with principles and provisions of the Convention and the Bali Action Plan in particular on mitigation adaptation finance technology transfer capacity building and taking into account the specific national circumstances of Parties and a future agreement of the Second Commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol

ASEAN LEADERS STATEMENT ON SUSTAINED RECOVERY AND DEVELOPMENT

We the Heads of StateGovernment of the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) met in Ha Noi

Viet Nam on 8-9 April 2010 for the 16th ASEAN Summit We discussed the situation of the global economy

and were pleased to note that it is showing signs of recovery from the global financial and economic crisis

although this recovery is expected to be slow Nonetheless we believe that ASEANs inherent dynamism

will help the region sustain its recovery and attain higher economic growth

We are detennined for ASEAN to sustain its recovery in the aftermath of the global financial crisis and economic

downturn We therefore re-affirm our commitment towards regional integration and building the ASEAN

Commupity and re-affirm our willingness and readiness to participate in coordinated efforts towards sustained

global economic recovery as follows

1 Ensuring Financial Stability in ASEAN and Sustained Recovery

We will cooperate in restoring the health of financial systems and maintaining supportive macroeconomic

policies We will strengthen regional surveillance and economic monitoring capacities for an early detection of

macro-financial risks and vulnerabilities

We affirm our determination to enhance regional financial stability through such regional initiatives as the Chiangshy

Mai Initiative Multilateralisation (CMIM) and the Asian Bond Markets Initiative (ABMI) the Credit Guarantee

Investment Facility (CGIF) and the ongoing enhancement of the ASEAN Surveillance Office We reiterate our

willingness to achieve a more balanced international financial architecture by participating in reforms of financial

regulations prudential frameworks and International Financial Institutions

We will maintain monetary and fiscal support while preparing for orderly unwinding of expansionary policies until

the recovery is on a finn footing We note that as market conditions and the economic outlook are improving we

need to reconsider the continued support of monetary and fiscal policies for sustained recovery and resumption of

private credit flows in our economies

We affirm the need to start working on mechanisms to reverse the fiscal and monetary stimulus and then phase out

these policy accommodations We are fully confident that at the appropriate time we will be able to do so

effectively to ensure sustained recovery and development We welcome the inaugural Informal East Asia Summit

(EAS) Finance Ministers Meeting in May 2010 in Tashkent Uzbekistan

2 Enhancing ASEAN Economic Integration

We re-affirm our resolve to realise the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) which will establish ASEAN as a

single market and production base by 2015 We task all the AEC Council Ministers and officials concerned to

ensure that the AEC Blueprint and the strategic schedules contained therein are implemented in a timely manner

We will enhance cooperation and dialogue with our Dialogue Partners especially in implementing fully the

agreements signed and addressing regional and global challenges

We will continue to reject protectionism re-affirm our commitment to refrain from raising new barriers to trade and

investment and keep our markets open We remain committed to the WTO Doha Development Agenda and look

forward to the early and successful conclusion of the Doha Round

Leaders Declaration made in Singapore in November 2009 particularly on the importance of an ambitious and

2

balanced conclusion of the Doha Development Agenda the continued rejection of protectionism and delivering a

global stimulus package to sustain global economic recovery ASEAN strongly believes that it can contribute to the

deliberations of the G-20 through the continued participation of the ASEAN Chair and the ASEAN Se~retaryshy

General in future G-20 Summits

3 Fostering Infrastructure Development

We re-affirm the importance of regional infrastructure development and enhancing connectivity that will playa

crucial role in achieving sustainable global economic recovery through enhanced trade investment tourism and

development We announced the ASEAN Connectivity Initiative at our 15th ASEAN Summit in Thailand in October

2009 to focus our resources and efforts in deepening connectivity within ASEAN and its sub-regional groupings

and in the broader regional framework of East Asia In this regard we task the High Level Task Force on ASEAN

Connectivity to develop the Master Plan on ASEAN Connectivity with recommended measures targets and

tlrnelines-necessary to achieve ASEAN Connectivity for the consideration of the ASEAN Member States We take

note otseveral ASEAN Dialogue Partners interest in ASEAN Connectivity during the Post Ministerial Conferences

and Summits in 2009 and therefore encourage their support towards the full implementation of the Master Plan on

ASEAN Connectivity

We re-affirm the importance of mobilising the regions savings to finance the huge infrastructure needs in the

region In this regard weare encouraged by the progress made under the ASEAN Infrastructure Financing

Mechanism (AIFM) We urge Member States to continue to explore effective financing instruments and policies

including a possible ASEAN Infrastructure Fund for viable regional infrastructure investments

We agree to enhance efforts to pursue physical infrastructure development and the policy and institutional

development in transport ICT and energy sectors in facilitation of transport and logistics necessary to realise

effective connectivity which would reinforce ASEANs position as a hub of the East Asian regi6n for transport

information technology tourism energy and logistics We task the relevant Ministers particularly the ASEAN

as well as the implementation of the ASEAN Plan of Action for Energy Cooperation (APAEC) 2010-2015 by the

relevant ASEAN Ministers in 2010 to further enhance coherence in the regional connectivity agenda and the priority

measures for intraregional transport energy and information and communication linkages

We recognise that sub-regional cooperation arrangements such as the Brunei-lndonesia-Malaysia-Philippines

East ASEAN Growth Area (BIMP-EAGA) Indonesia-Malaysia-Thailand Growth Triangle (IMT-GT) Greater Mekong

Sub-Region (GMS) Cambodia - Laos - Viet Nam (CLV) Development Triangle and Ayeyawady - Chao Phrayashy

Mekong Economic Cooperation Strategy (ACMECS) are effective mechanisms to accelerate the implementation of

the regional initiatives In this regard we welcome the work that has been done by these sub-regions and look

forward to consolidating and prioritising existing work plans on connectivity into the Master Plan taking into

account related existing sub-regional cooperation frameworks We also look forward to the implementation of more

projects in the sub-regions to contribute to the narrowing of the development divide and enabling the sub-regions to

link with the rest of ASEAN region and beyond

creativity innovation and protection of intellectual property rights We believe that the creative economy which

draws on ASEANs rich cultural heritage combined with creative inputs from people in ASEAN will add substantial

value to its goods and services and will help promote sustainable growth in the region

We affirm ASEANs commitment to fully address socio-economic disparities and poverty that persist across ASEAN

Member States by developing and implementing an ASEAN Roadmap towards realising the Millennium

Development Goals (MDG) To this end we renew our commitment in the Joint Declaration on the Attainment of

the Millennium Development Goals in ASEAN underscoring the importance of better coordination and participation

of all key stakeholders including public and private sector civil societies and UN specialised agencies in

The ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community Council

2009-2010

Introduction

After the ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community (ASCC)

14th Blueprint was approved by the ASEAN Leaders at the ASEAN

Summit in Clia-am Hua Hin Thailand in March 2009 the Socio-Cultural

Community Council (ASCC Council) convened its first meeting on 24 )f

August 2009 and the second meeting on 22 October 2009 Both the

meetings were chaired by HE Mr Kasit Piromya Minister of Foreign

Affairs of Thailand in his capacity as the Chair of ASCC

The First and the Second ASCC Council Meetings have

identified some priorities under the ASCC Blueprint as followsshy

1 ASEAN Awareness and Community Building

With people at its heart and their participation as the basis of

creating a Community of and for the peoples the First ASCC Council

Meeting identified the need to cultivate better historical and cultural

understanding between the peoples especially at the grass roots level

This is key for ASEAN to move forward with a common vision and

aspiration while appreciating its political economic and socio-cultural

diversities Promoting ASEAN awareness through shared identity and

cultural heritage would be fundamentally important in building the

ASEAN Community

2 Education

At the First meeting of the ASCC Council in August 2009

the meeting highlighted the need to empower people through education

in order to successfully realize the ASEAN Community Education could

also support ASEAN Awareness and ASEAN Connectivity both in terms

of physical infrastructure as well as spiritual and cultural connectivity to

15th create the feeling of being an ASEAN citizen At the ASEAN

Summit in October 2009 ASEAN Leaders under the recommendation of

the ASCC Council endorsed the Cha-am Hua Hin Declaration on

Strengthening Cooperation on Education to Achieve an ASEAN Caring

and Sharing Community

ABEAN agreed to highlight and maximize the richness and

diversity of cultures through art heritage and cultural activities in the

region as well as through media cooperation and networking to promote

ASEAN awareness and identity In Thailand the ASEAN Association of

Thailand has been established to be the main vehicle to promote ASEAN

awareness the community building process as well as how ASEAN as an

organization could bring about greater benefit to the people in the region

In addition the ASEAN Education Ministers are in the

process of drawing up the ASEANs Five Year Work Plan on Education

which is aimed at enhancing education standards and promoting ASEAN

community

3 The Promotion and Protection of the Rights of Women and

Children

On the human rights front the ASCC Council in close

collaboration with the ASEAN Ministers Meeting on Social Welfare and

Development (AMMSWD) and the ASEAN Committee on Women

(ACW) successfully concluded the Term of Reference of the ASEAN

Commission on the Promotion and Protection of the Rights of Women

and Children (ACWC) which would be launched at the 16th ASEAN

Summit in Ha Noi Viet Nam The ASCC firmly believes that the ACWC

is an integral part that would complement the ASEAN Commission on

Human Rights (AICHR) on ensuring greater promotion and protection of

human rights in ASEAN

4 Other issues that affect livelihood and well-being of the people in

the region

The ASCC Council has also strived to move forward with

the issues that affect the livelihood and the well-being of the peoples in

the region through implementing the ASCC Blueprint which would serve

as the roadmap to realizing the people-centered ASEAN Community

They include joint responses and cooperation on natural disasters health

and infectious diseases environment the attainment of the Millennium

Development Goal (MDGs) poverty eradication and the social impact of

the global financial crisis as well as the ASEAN Connectivity These

have been reflected through various Leaders declarationsstatements at

the 14th and is ASEAN Summits

In addition there are plans to effectively address the

problems of poverty and health standards through the possible setting up

of funds or financing schemes to support livelihood and employment

projects

5 ASEAN Connectivity

As ASEAN Leaders have put ASEAN Connectivity at the

top of the agenda of ASEAN Community Building it is important not

only to enhance infrastructure linkages within the region but to put

human factor into the process of building an ASEAN Community Not

only would ASEAN Connectivity lead to enhanced infrastructure

networks but connectivity should incorporate better linkages and better

understanding across the whole spectrum of ASEAN peoples The first

High Level Task Force on ASEAN Connectivity was convened in March

2010 and agreed on the need to include promoting education and

ASEAN cultural understanding in the Master Plan for ASEAN

Connectivity The ASCC Council should forge ahead with the

community building process that would make ASEAN Community a

diverse and culturally rich people-centered and socially responsible

community while uplifting the well-being of the people in this region

51 We welcomed all international efforts to promote nuclear nonshyproliferation nuclear disarmament and peaceful uses of nuclear energy including the convening of the upcoming Nuclear Security Summit in Washington DC and the NPT Review Conference in New York We reaffirmed our full support to the Presidency of the Philippines of the 2010 NPT Review Conference for a successful outcome of the Conference which enables the balanced implementation of the Treatys three pillars

52 We noted the recent developments on the Korean Peninsula and reaffirmed our support for a nuclear weapon-free Korean Peninsula We encouraged all the parties concerned to continue to settlle their disputes through peaceful negotiations

Other Issues

53 We renewed our commitments to building a people-oriented ASEAN through greater peoples participation in our community-building process We were happy with the outcome of our Meeting with Representatives from ASEAN Inter-Parliamentary Assembly (AIPA) in

8th Ha Noi on April and we instructed the ASEAN Secretariat to coordinate with AIPAs counterpart to develop proper modalities for future cooperation between ASEANs executive and fegislative branches

54 We welcomed the outcome of the First Summit of the Mekong River Commission (MRC) held on 4-5 April 2010 in Thailand including the MRC Hua Hin Declaration on Meeting the Needs Keeping the Balance Towards the Sustainable Development of the Mekong River Basin highlighting the need on the sustainable use management and development of water and related resources of the Mekong and enhanced connectivity for the benefit of the countries and people in the basin and beyond We also welcomed Viet Nams initiative to organize a Dialogue on Mekong Sub-regional Development Partnership in the year 2010 which would provide a good basis for dialogue and information sharing among partners towards better harmonization of the ongoing projects and more efficient utilization of available resources

55 We welcomed Viet Nam as the host of the World Economic Forum (WEF) 011 East Asia to be held in Ho Chi Minh City from 6-7 June 2010 As one of WEFs important regional events the WEF on East Asia 2010 in Viet Nam would be a good platform for international business and policy communities across Asia including ASEAN Member States to exchange views on strengthening and expanding economic cooperation

ASEAN LEADERS STATEMENT ON JOINT RESPONSE TO CLIMATE CHANGE

VIETNAM 2010 WE the Heads of StateGovernment of Brunei Darussalam the Kingdom of Cambodia the Republic of Indonesia the Lao Peoples Democratic Republic Malaysia the Union c1f Myanmar the Republic of the Philippines the Republic of Singapore the Kingdom of Thailand and the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam Member States of ASEAN on the occasion of the 16th ASEAN Summit

RENEWING our commitments made in the ASEAN Joint Statement on Climate Change to the 15th session of the Conference of the Parties (COP) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the 5th session of the Conference Parties serving as the Meeting of Parties (CMP) to the Kyoto Protocol (2009) the ASEAN Declaration on the 13th session of COP to the UNFCCC and the 3rd session of the CMP to the Kyoto Protocol (2007) and the ASEAN Declaration on Environmental Sustainability (2007)

REAFFIRMING that the UNFCCC and its Kyoto Protocol constitute the current legal framework and legal instrument for the international community to combat global climate change and that comprehensive effective and binding outcomes of the Bali Roadmap are essential for furthering the implementation of the UNFCCC and the Kyoto Protocol and should be addressed by a consensusshybased and transparent manner

FURTHER REAFFIRMING the principle of equity and in accordance with their common but differentiated responsibilities and respective capabilities and national circumstances

UNDERSTANDING that while the Copenhagen Accord is not a legally binding instrument it provides elements that could be considered as inputs to the two-track process of the Ad-hoc Working Group on Long-term Cooperative Actions (AWG-LCA) and the Ad-hoc Working Group on Further Commitments for Annex I Parties under the Kyoto Protocol (AWG-KP) aimed at reaching at a fair equitable and legally binding agreement that ensures a successful COP 16CMP 6 in Mexico gt

NOTING the large number of countries associating themselves with the Copenhagen Accord

RECOGNIZING that the Southeast Asian region is also vulnerable to climate change which will seriously affect most of aspects of livelihood and limit our development options for the future including our efforts towards the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals

RECOGNIZING the importance of sustainable forest management in ASEAN which will contribute significantly to the international efforts to promote environmental sustainability and to mitigate the effects of climate change

SHARING a vision for an ASEAN Community resilient to climate change and supporting our national and global efforts to combat climate change consistent with our common but differentiated responsibilities and respective capabilities

DO HEREBY DECLARE TO

ASEAN LEADERS STATEMENT ON SUSTAINED RECOVERY AND DEVELOPMENT

We the Heads of StateGovernment of the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) met in Ha Noi

Viet Nam on 8-9 April 2010 for the 16th ASEAN Summit We discussed the situation of the global economy

and were pleased to note that it is showing signs of recovery from the global financial and economic crisis

although this recovery is expected to be slow Nonetheless we believe that ASEANs inherent dynamism

will help the region sustain its recovery and attain higher economic growth

We are detennined for ASEAN to sustain its recovery in the aftermath of the global financial crisis and economic

downturn We therefore re-affirm our commitment towards regional integration and building the ASEAN

Commupity and re-affirm our willingness and readiness to participate in coordinated efforts towards sustained

global economic recovery as follows

1 Ensuring Financial Stability in ASEAN and Sustained Recovery

We will cooperate in restoring the health of financial systems and maintaining supportive macroeconomic

policies We will strengthen regional surveillance and economic monitoring capacities for an early detection of

macro-financial risks and vulnerabilities

We affirm our determination to enhance regional financial stability through such regional initiatives as the Chiangshy

Mai Initiative Multilateralisation (CMIM) and the Asian Bond Markets Initiative (ABMI) the Credit Guarantee

Investment Facility (CGIF) and the ongoing enhancement of the ASEAN Surveillance Office We reiterate our

willingness to achieve a more balanced international financial architecture by participating in reforms of financial

regulations prudential frameworks and International Financial Institutions

We will maintain monetary and fiscal support while preparing for orderly unwinding of expansionary policies until

the recovery is on a finn footing We note that as market conditions and the economic outlook are improving we

need to reconsider the continued support of monetary and fiscal policies for sustained recovery and resumption of

private credit flows in our economies

We affirm the need to start working on mechanisms to reverse the fiscal and monetary stimulus and then phase out

these policy accommodations We are fully confident that at the appropriate time we will be able to do so

effectively to ensure sustained recovery and development We welcome the inaugural Informal East Asia Summit

(EAS) Finance Ministers Meeting in May 2010 in Tashkent Uzbekistan

2 Enhancing ASEAN Economic Integration

We re-affirm our resolve to realise the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) which will establish ASEAN as a

single market and production base by 2015 We task all the AEC Council Ministers and officials concerned to

ensure that the AEC Blueprint and the strategic schedules contained therein are implemented in a timely manner

We will enhance cooperation and dialogue with our Dialogue Partners especially in implementing fully the

agreements signed and addressing regional and global challenges

We will continue to reject protectionism re-affirm our commitment to refrain from raising new barriers to trade and

investment and keep our markets open We remain committed to the WTO Doha Development Agenda and look

forward to the early and successful conclusion of the Doha Round

We welcome the G-20 Leaders Statement made at the Pittsburgh Summit in September 2009 and the APEC

Leaders Declaration made in Singapore in November 2009 particularly on the importance of an ambitious and

2

balanced conclusion of the Doha Development Agenda the continued rejection of protectionism and delivering a

global stimulus package to sustain global economic recovery ASEAN strongly believes that it can contribute to the

deliberations of the G-20 through the continued participation of the ASEAN Chair and the ASEAN Se~retaryshy

General in future G-20 Summits

3 Fostering Infrastructure Development

We re-affirm the importance of regional infrastructure development and enhancing connectivity that will playa

crucial role in achieving sustainable global economic recovery through enhanced trade investment tourism and

development We announced the ASEAN Connectivity Initiative at our 15th ASEAN Summit in Thailand in October

2009 to focus our resources and efforts in deepening connectivity within ASEAN and its sub-regional groupings

and in the broader regional framework of East Asia In this regard we task the High Level Task Force on ASEAN

Connectivity to develop the Master Plan on ASEAN Connectivity with recommended measures targets and

tlrnelines-necessary to achieve ASEAN Connectivity for the consideration of the ASEAN Member States We take

note otseveral ASEAN Dialogue Partners interest in ASEAN Connectivity during the Post Ministerial Conferences

and Summits in 2009 and therefore encourage their support towards the full implementation of the Master Plan on

ASEAN Connectivity

We re-affirm the importance of mobilising the regions savings to finance the huge infrastructure needs in the

region In this regard weare encouraged by the progress made under the ASEAN Infrastructure Financing

Mechanism (AIFM) We urge Member States to continue to explore effective financing instruments and policies

including a possible ASEAN Infrastructure Fund for viable regional infrastructure investments

We agree to enhance efforts to pursue physical infrastructure development and the policy and institutional

development in transport ICT and energy sectors in facilitation of transport and logistics necessary to realise

effective connectivity which would reinforce ASEANs position as a hub of the East Asian regi6n for transport

information technology tourism energy and logistics We task the relevant Ministers particularly the ASEAN

Transport Ministers (ATM) the ASEAN Telecommunications and ICT Ministers (TELMIN) and the ASEAN Ministers

on Energy (AMEM) to expedite the completion of the vital physical road rail air inland waterways sea gas and

power linkages within ASEAN as well as the implementation of the multilateral agreements phasing in ASEAN

Open Skies and the ASEAN framework agreements on inter-state transport multimodal transport facilitation of

goods in transit regional gas pipeline connections and power grid We look forward to the completion and

adoption of the ASEAN Strategic Transport Plan (ASTP) 2011-2015 and the ASEAN ICT Master Plan 2011-2015

as well as the implementation of the ASEAN Plan of Action for Energy Cooperation (APAEC) 2010-2015 by the

relevant ASEAN Ministers in 2010 to further enhance coherence in the regional connectivity agenda and the priority

measures for intraregional transport energy and information and communication linkages

We recognise that sub-regional cooperation arrangements such as the Brunei-lndonesia-Malaysia-Philippines

East ASEAN Growth Area (BIMP-EAGA) Indonesia-Malaysia-Thailand Growth Triangle (IMT-GT) Greater Mekong

Sub-Region (GMS) Cambodia - Laos - Viet Nam (CLV) Development Triangle and Ayeyawady - Chao Phrayashy

Mekong Economic Cooperation Strategy (ACMECS) are effective mechanisms to accelerate the implementation of

the regional initiatives In this regard we welcome the work that has been done by these sub-regions and look

forward to consolidating and prioritising existing work plans on connectivity into the Master Plan taking into

account related existing sub-regional cooperation frameworks We also look forward to the implementation of more

projects in the sub-regions to contribute to the narrowing of the development divide and enabling the sub-regions to

link with the rest of ASEAN region and beyond

4 Promoting Sustainable Development

We recognise the need to support more balanced growth within and across economies achieve greater

inclusiveness in our societies sustain our environment and raise our growth potential through good governance

innovation and a knowledge-based economy

reiterate our commitment to ensure that economic development in our region is consistent with the long term

sustainability of our natural resources

We stress the importance of the promotion of creative economy in paving the way for future growth based on

creativity innovation and protection of intellectual property rights We believe that the creative economy which

draws on ASEANs rich cultural heritage combined with creative inputs from people in ASEAN will add substantial

value to its goods and services and will help promote sustainable growth in the region

We affirm ASEANs commitment to fully address socio-economic disparities and poverty that persist across ASEAN

Member States by developing and implementing an ASEAN Roadmap towards realising the Millennium

Development Goals (MDG) To this end we renew our commitment in the Joint Declaration on the Attainment of

the Millennium Development Goals in ASEAN underscoring the importance of better coordination and participation

of all key stakeholders including public and private sector civil societies and UN specialised agencies in

implementing the MDGs We call upon ASEAN Member States to continue supporting the initiatives for poverty

The ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community Council

2009-2010

Introduction

After the ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community (ASCC)

14th Blueprint was approved by the ASEAN Leaders at the ASEAN

Summit in Clia-am Hua Hin Thailand in March 2009 the Socio-Cultural

Community Council (ASCC Council) convened its first meeting on 24 )f

August 2009 and the second meeting on 22 October 2009 Both the

meetings were chaired by HE Mr Kasit Piromya Minister of Foreign

Affairs of Thailand in his capacity as the Chair of ASCC

The First and the Second ASCC Council Meetings have

identified some priorities under the ASCC Blueprint as followsshy

1 ASEAN Awareness and Community Building

With people at its heart and their participation as the basis of

creating a Community of and for the peoples the First ASCC Council

Meeting identified the need to cultivate better historical and cultural

understanding between the peoples especially at the grass roots level

This is key for ASEAN to move forward with a common vision and

aspiration while appreciating its political economic and socio-cultural

diversities Promoting ASEAN awareness through shared identity and

cultural heritage would be fundamentally important in building the

ASEAN Community

2 Education

At the First meeting of the ASCC Council in August 2009

the meeting highlighted the need to empower people through education

in order to successfully realize the ASEAN Community Education could

also support ASEAN Awareness and ASEAN Connectivity both in terms

of physical infrastructure as well as spiritual and cultural connectivity to

15th create the feeling of being an ASEAN citizen At the ASEAN

Summit in October 2009 ASEAN Leaders under the recommendation of

the ASCC Council endorsed the Cha-am Hua Hin Declaration on

Strengthening Cooperation on Education to Achieve an ASEAN Caring

and Sharing Community

ABEAN agreed to highlight and maximize the richness and

diversity of cultures through art heritage and cultural activities in the

region as well as through media cooperation and networking to promote

ASEAN awareness and identity In Thailand the ASEAN Association of

Thailand has been established to be the main vehicle to promote ASEAN

awareness the community building process as well as how ASEAN as an

organization could bring about greater benefit to the people in the region

In addition the ASEAN Education Ministers are in the

process of drawing up the ASEANs Five Year Work Plan on Education

which is aimed at enhancing education standards and promoting ASEAN

community

3 The Promotion and Protection of the Rights of Women and

Children

On the human rights front the ASCC Council in close

collaboration with the ASEAN Ministers Meeting on Social Welfare and

Development (AMMSWD) and the ASEAN Committee on Women

(ACW) successfully concluded the Term of Reference of the ASEAN

Commission on the Promotion and Protection of the Rights of Women

and Children (ACWC) which would be launched at the 16th ASEAN

Summit in Ha Noi Viet Nam The ASCC firmly believes that the ACWC

is an integral part that would complement the ASEAN Commission on

Human Rights (AICHR) on ensuring greater promotion and protection of

human rights in ASEAN

4 Other issues that affect livelihood and well-being of the people in

the region

The ASCC Council has also strived to move forward with

the issues that affect the livelihood and the well-being of the peoples in

the region through implementing the ASCC Blueprint which would serve

as the roadmap to realizing the people-centered ASEAN Community

They include joint responses and cooperation on natural disasters health

and infectious diseases environment the attainment of the Millennium

Development Goal (MDGs) poverty eradication and the social impact of

the global financial crisis as well as the ASEAN Connectivity These

have been reflected through various Leaders declarationsstatements at

the 14th and is ASEAN Summits

In addition there are plans to effectively address the

problems of poverty and health standards through the possible setting up

of funds or financing schemes to support livelihood and employment

projects

5 ASEAN Connectivity

As ASEAN Leaders have put ASEAN Connectivity at the

top of the agenda of ASEAN Community Building it is important not

only to enhance infrastructure linkages within the region but to put

human factor into the process of building an ASEAN Community Not

only would ASEAN Connectivity lead to enhanced infrastructure

networks but connectivity should incorporate better linkages and better

understanding across the whole spectrum of ASEAN peoples The first

High Level Task Force on ASEAN Connectivity was convened in March

2010 and agreed on the need to include promoting education and

ASEAN cultural understanding in the Master Plan for ASEAN

Connectivity The ASCC Council should forge ahead with the

community building process that would make ASEAN Community a

diverse and culturally rich people-centered and socially responsible

community while uplifting the well-being of the people in this region

trade and investment to discuss and devise solutions to major regional and global issues

56 We endorsed the exchange between Indonesia and Brunei Darussalam in their turns for the ASEAN Chairmanship and welcomed Indonesia as the ASEAN Chair in 2011 In this regard we affirmed that such exchange shall not create precedence in the future

ASEAN LEADERS STATEMENT ON JOINT RESPONSE TO CLIMATE CHANGE

VIETNAM 2010 WE the Heads of StateGovernment of Brunei Darussalam the Kingdom of Cambodia the Republic of Indonesia the Lao Peoples Democratic Republic Malaysia the Union c1f Myanmar the Republic of the Philippines the Republic of Singapore the Kingdom of Thailand and the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam Member States of ASEAN on the occasion of the 16th ASEAN Summit

RENEWING our commitments made in the ASEAN Joint Statement on Climate Change to the 15th session of the Conference of the Parties (COP) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the 5th session of the Conference Parties serving as the Meeting of Parties (CMP) to the Kyoto Protocol (2009) the ASEAN Declaration on the 13th session of COP to the UNFCCC and the 3rd session of the CMP to the Kyoto Protocol (2007) and the ASEAN Declaration on Environmental Sustainability (2007)

REAFFIRMING that the UNFCCC and its Kyoto Protocol constitute the current legal framework and legal instrument for the international community to combat global climate change and that comprehensive effective and binding outcomes of the Bali Roadmap are essential for furthering the implementation of the UNFCCC and the Kyoto Protocol and should be addressed by a consensusshybased and transparent manner

FURTHER REAFFIRMING the principle of equity and in accordance with their common but differentiated responsibilities and respective capabilities and national circumstances

UNDERSTANDING that while the Copenhagen Accord is not a legally binding instrument it provides elements that could be considered as inputs to the two-track process of the Ad-hoc Working Group on Long-term Cooperative Actions (AWG-LCA) and the Ad-hoc Working Group on Further Commitments for Annex I Parties under the Kyoto Protocol (AWG-KP) aimed at reaching at a fair equitable and legally binding agreement that ensures a successful COP 16CMP 6 in Mexico gt

NOTING the large number of countries associating themselves with the Copenhagen Accord

RECOGNIZING that the Southeast Asian region is also vulnerable to climate change which will seriously affect most of aspects of livelihood and limit our development options for the future including our efforts towards the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals

ASEAN LEADERS STATEMENT ON SUSTAINED RECOVERY AND DEVELOPMENT

We the Heads of StateGovernment of the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) met in Ha Noi

Viet Nam on 8-9 April 2010 for the 16th ASEAN Summit We discussed the situation of the global economy

and were pleased to note that it is showing signs of recovery from the global financial and economic crisis

although this recovery is expected to be slow Nonetheless we believe that ASEANs inherent dynamism

will help the region sustain its recovery and attain higher economic growth

We are detennined for ASEAN to sustain its recovery in the aftermath of the global financial crisis and economic

downturn We therefore re-affirm our commitment towards regional integration and building the ASEAN

Commupity and re-affirm our willingness and readiness to participate in coordinated efforts towards sustained

global economic recovery as follows

1 Ensuring Financial Stability in ASEAN and Sustained Recovery

We will cooperate in restoring the health of financial systems and maintaining supportive macroeconomic

policies We will strengthen regional surveillance and economic monitoring capacities for an early detection of

macro-financial risks and vulnerabilities

We affirm our determination to enhance regional financial stability through such regional initiatives as the Chiangshy

Mai Initiative Multilateralisation (CMIM) and the Asian Bond Markets Initiative (ABMI) the Credit Guarantee

Investment Facility (CGIF) and the ongoing enhancement of the ASEAN Surveillance Office We reiterate our

willingness to achieve a more balanced international financial architecture by participating in reforms of financial

regulations prudential frameworks and International Financial Institutions

We will maintain monetary and fiscal support while preparing for orderly unwinding of expansionary policies until

the recovery is on a finn footing We note that as market conditions and the economic outlook are improving we

need to reconsider the continued support of monetary and fiscal policies for sustained recovery and resumption of

private credit flows in our economies

We affirm the need to start working on mechanisms to reverse the fiscal and monetary stimulus and then phase out

these policy accommodations We are fully confident that at the appropriate time we will be able to do so

effectively to ensure sustained recovery and development We welcome the inaugural Informal East Asia Summit

(EAS) Finance Ministers Meeting in May 2010 in Tashkent Uzbekistan

2 Enhancing ASEAN Economic Integration

We re-affirm our resolve to realise the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) which will establish ASEAN as a

single market and production base by 2015 We task all the AEC Council Ministers and officials concerned to

ensure that the AEC Blueprint and the strategic schedules contained therein are implemented in a timely manner

We will enhance cooperation and dialogue with our Dialogue Partners especially in implementing fully the

agreements signed and addressing regional and global challenges

We will continue to reject protectionism re-affirm our commitment to refrain from raising new barriers to trade and

investment and keep our markets open We remain committed to the WTO Doha Development Agenda and look

forward to the early and successful conclusion of the Doha Round

We welcome the G-20 Leaders Statement made at the Pittsburgh Summit in September 2009 and the APEC

Leaders Declaration made in Singapore in November 2009 particularly on the importance of an ambitious and

2

balanced conclusion of the Doha Development Agenda the continued rejection of protectionism and delivering a

global stimulus package to sustain global economic recovery ASEAN strongly believes that it can contribute to the

deliberations of the G-20 through the continued participation of the ASEAN Chair and the ASEAN Se~retaryshy

General in future G-20 Summits

3 Fostering Infrastructure Development

We re-affirm the importance of regional infrastructure development and enhancing connectivity that will playa

crucial role in achieving sustainable global economic recovery through enhanced trade investment tourism and

development We announced the ASEAN Connectivity Initiative at our 15th ASEAN Summit in Thailand in October

2009 to focus our resources and efforts in deepening connectivity within ASEAN and its sub-regional groupings

and in the broader regional framework of East Asia In this regard we task the High Level Task Force on ASEAN

Connectivity to develop the Master Plan on ASEAN Connectivity with recommended measures targets and

tlrnelines-necessary to achieve ASEAN Connectivity for the consideration of the ASEAN Member States We take

note otseveral ASEAN Dialogue Partners interest in ASEAN Connectivity during the Post Ministerial Conferences

and Summits in 2009 and therefore encourage their support towards the full implementation of the Master Plan on

ASEAN Connectivity

We re-affirm the importance of mobilising the regions savings to finance the huge infrastructure needs in the

region In this regard weare encouraged by the progress made under the ASEAN Infrastructure Financing

Mechanism (AIFM) We urge Member States to continue to explore effective financing instruments and policies

including a possible ASEAN Infrastructure Fund for viable regional infrastructure investments

We agree to enhance efforts to pursue physical infrastructure development and the policy and institutional

development in transport ICT and energy sectors in facilitation of transport and logistics necessary to realise

effective connectivity which would reinforce ASEANs position as a hub of the East Asian regi6n for transport

information technology tourism energy and logistics We task the relevant Ministers particularly the ASEAN

as well as the implementation of the ASEAN Plan of Action for Energy Cooperation (APAEC) 2010-2015 by the

relevant ASEAN Ministers in 2010 to further enhance coherence in the regional connectivity agenda and the priority

measures for intraregional transport energy and information and communication linkages

We recognise that sub-regional cooperation arrangements such as the Brunei-lndonesia-Malaysia-Philippines

East ASEAN Growth Area (BIMP-EAGA) Indonesia-Malaysia-Thailand Growth Triangle (IMT-GT) Greater Mekong

Sub-Region (GMS) Cambodia - Laos - Viet Nam (CLV) Development Triangle and Ayeyawady - Chao Phrayashy

Mekong Economic Cooperation Strategy (ACMECS) are effective mechanisms to accelerate the implementation of

the regional initiatives In this regard we welcome the work that has been done by these sub-regions and look

forward to consolidating and prioritising existing work plans on connectivity into the Master Plan taking into

account related existing sub-regional cooperation frameworks We also look forward to the implementation of more

projects in the sub-regions to contribute to the narrowing of the development divide and enabling the sub-regions to

link with the rest of ASEAN region and beyond

4 Promoting Sustainable Development

We recognise the need to support more balanced growth within and across economies achieve greater

inclusiveness in our societies sustain our environment and raise our growth potential through good governance

innovation and a knowledge-based economy

reiterate our commitment to ensure that economic development in our region is consistent with the long term

sustainability of our natural resources

We stress the importance of the promotion of creative economy in paving the way for future growth based on

creativity innovation and protection of intellectual property rights We believe that the creative economy which

draws on ASEANs rich cultural heritage combined with creative inputs from people in ASEAN will add substantial

value to its goods and services and will help promote sustainable growth in the region

We affirm ASEANs commitment to fully address socio-economic disparities and poverty that persist across ASEAN

Member States by developing and implementing an ASEAN Roadmap towards realising the Millennium

Development Goals (MDG) To this end we renew our commitment in the Joint Declaration on the Attainment of

the Millennium Development Goals in ASEAN underscoring the importance of better coordination and participation

of all key stakeholders including public and private sector civil societies and UN specialised agencies in

implementing the MDGs We call upon ASEAN Member States to continue supporting the initiatives for poverty

The ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community Council

2009-2010

Introduction

After the ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community (ASCC)

14th Blueprint was approved by the ASEAN Leaders at the ASEAN

Summit in Clia-am Hua Hin Thailand in March 2009 the Socio-Cultural

Community Council (ASCC Council) convened its first meeting on 24 )f

August 2009 and the second meeting on 22 October 2009 Both the

meetings were chaired by HE Mr Kasit Piromya Minister of Foreign

Affairs of Thailand in his capacity as the Chair of ASCC

The First and the Second ASCC Council Meetings have

identified some priorities under the ASCC Blueprint as followsshy

1 ASEAN Awareness and Community Building

With people at its heart and their participation as the basis of

creating a Community of and for the peoples the First ASCC Council

Meeting identified the need to cultivate better historical and cultural

understanding between the peoples especially at the grass roots level

This is key for ASEAN to move forward with a common vision and

aspiration while appreciating its political economic and socio-cultural

diversities Promoting ASEAN awareness through shared identity and

cultural heritage would be fundamentally important in building the

ASEAN Community

2 Education

At the First meeting of the ASCC Council in August 2009

the meeting highlighted the need to empower people through education

in order to successfully realize the ASEAN Community Education could

also support ASEAN Awareness and ASEAN Connectivity both in terms

of physical infrastructure as well as spiritual and cultural connectivity to

15th create the feeling of being an ASEAN citizen At the ASEAN

Summit in October 2009 ASEAN Leaders under the recommendation of

the ASCC Council endorsed the Cha-am Hua Hin Declaration on

Strengthening Cooperation on Education to Achieve an ASEAN Caring

and Sharing Community

ABEAN agreed to highlight and maximize the richness and

diversity of cultures through art heritage and cultural activities in the

region as well as through media cooperation and networking to promote

ASEAN awareness and identity In Thailand the ASEAN Association of

Thailand has been established to be the main vehicle to promote ASEAN

awareness the community building process as well as how ASEAN as an

organization could bring about greater benefit to the people in the region

In addition the ASEAN Education Ministers are in the

process of drawing up the ASEANs Five Year Work Plan on Education

which is aimed at enhancing education standards and promoting ASEAN

community

3 The Promotion and Protection of the Rights of Women and

Children

On the human rights front the ASCC Council in close

collaboration with the ASEAN Ministers Meeting on Social Welfare and

Development (AMMSWD) and the ASEAN Committee on Women

(ACW) successfully concluded the Term of Reference of the ASEAN

Commission on the Promotion and Protection of the Rights of Women

and Children (ACWC) which would be launched at the 16th ASEAN

Summit in Ha Noi Viet Nam The ASCC firmly believes that the ACWC

is an integral part that would complement the ASEAN Commission on

Human Rights (AICHR) on ensuring greater promotion and protection of

human rights in ASEAN

4 Other issues that affect livelihood and well-being of the people in

the region

The ASCC Council has also strived to move forward with

the issues that affect the livelihood and the well-being of the peoples in

the region through implementing the ASCC Blueprint which would serve

as the roadmap to realizing the people-centered ASEAN Community

They include joint responses and cooperation on natural disasters health

and infectious diseases environment the attainment of the Millennium

Development Goal (MDGs) poverty eradication and the social impact of

the global financial crisis as well as the ASEAN Connectivity These

have been reflected through various Leaders declarationsstatements at

the 14th and is ASEAN Summits

5 ASEAN Connectivity

As ASEAN Leaders have put ASEAN Connectivity at the

top of the agenda of ASEAN Community Building it is important not

only to enhance infrastructure linkages within the region but to put

human factor into the process of building an ASEAN Community Not

only would ASEAN Connectivity lead to enhanced infrastructure

networks but connectivity should incorporate better linkages and better

understanding across the whole spectrum of ASEAN peoples The first

High Level Task Force on ASEAN Connectivity was convened in March

2010 and agreed on the need to include promoting education and

ASEAN cultural understanding in the Master Plan for ASEAN

Connectivity The ASCC Council should forge ahead with the

community building process that would make ASEAN Community a

diverse and culturally rich people-centered and socially responsible

community while uplifting the well-being of the people in this region

ASEAN LEADERS STATEMENT ON JOINT RESPONSE TO CLIMATE CHANGE

VIETNAM 2010 WE the Heads of StateGovernment of Brunei Darussalam the Kingdom of Cambodia the Republic of Indonesia the Lao Peoples Democratic Republic Malaysia the Union c1f Myanmar the Republic of the Philippines the Republic of Singapore the Kingdom of Thailand and the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam Member States of ASEAN on the occasion of the 16th ASEAN Summit

RENEWING our commitments made in the ASEAN Joint Statement on Climate Change to the 15th session of the Conference of the Parties (COP) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the 5th session of the Conference Parties serving as the Meeting of Parties (CMP) to the Kyoto Protocol (2009) the ASEAN Declaration on the 13th session of COP to the UNFCCC and the 3rd session of the CMP to the Kyoto Protocol (2007) and the ASEAN Declaration on Environmental Sustainability (2007)

REAFFIRMING that the UNFCCC and its Kyoto Protocol constitute the current legal framework and legal instrument for the international community to combat global climate change and that comprehensive effective and binding outcomes of the Bali Roadmap are essential for furthering the implementation of the UNFCCC and the Kyoto Protocol and should be addressed by a consensusshybased and transparent manner

FURTHER REAFFIRMING the principle of equity and in accordance with their common but differentiated responsibilities and respective capabilities and national circumstances

UNDERSTANDING that while the Copenhagen Accord is not a legally binding instrument it provides elements that could be considered as inputs to the two-track process of the Ad-hoc Working Group on Long-term Cooperative Actions (AWG-LCA) and the Ad-hoc Working Group on Further Commitments for Annex I Parties under the Kyoto Protocol (AWG-KP) aimed at reaching at a fair equitable and legally binding agreement that ensures a successful COP 16CMP 6 in Mexico gt

NOTING the large number of countries associating themselves with the Copenhagen Accord

ASEAN LEADERS STATEMENT ON SUSTAINED RECOVERY AND DEVELOPMENT

We the Heads of StateGovernment of the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) met in Ha Noi

Viet Nam on 8-9 April 2010 for the 16th ASEAN Summit We discussed the situation of the global economy

and were pleased to note that it is showing signs of recovery from the global financial and economic crisis

although this recovery is expected to be slow Nonetheless we believe that ASEANs inherent dynamism

will help the region sustain its recovery and attain higher economic growth

We are detennined for ASEAN to sustain its recovery in the aftermath of the global financial crisis and economic

downturn We therefore re-affirm our commitment towards regional integration and building the ASEAN

Commupity and re-affirm our willingness and readiness to participate in coordinated efforts towards sustained

global economic recovery as follows

1 Ensuring Financial Stability in ASEAN and Sustained Recovery

We will cooperate in restoring the health of financial systems and maintaining supportive macroeconomic

policies We will strengthen regional surveillance and economic monitoring capacities for an early detection of

macro-financial risks and vulnerabilities

We affirm our determination to enhance regional financial stability through such regional initiatives as the Chiangshy

Mai Initiative Multilateralisation (CMIM) and the Asian Bond Markets Initiative (ABMI) the Credit Guarantee

Investment Facility (CGIF) and the ongoing enhancement of the ASEAN Surveillance Office We reiterate our

willingness to achieve a more balanced international financial architecture by participating in reforms of financial

regulations prudential frameworks and International Financial Institutions

We will maintain monetary and fiscal support while preparing for orderly unwinding of expansionary policies until

the recovery is on a finn footing We note that as market conditions and the economic outlook are improving we

need to reconsider the continued support of monetary and fiscal policies for sustained recovery and resumption of

private credit flows in our economies

We affirm the need to start working on mechanisms to reverse the fiscal and monetary stimulus and then phase out

these policy accommodations We are fully confident that at the appropriate time we will be able to do so

effectively to ensure sustained recovery and development We welcome the inaugural Informal East Asia Summit

(EAS) Finance Ministers Meeting in May 2010 in Tashkent Uzbekistan

2 Enhancing ASEAN Economic Integration

We re-affirm our resolve to realise the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) which will establish ASEAN as a

single market and production base by 2015 We task all the AEC Council Ministers and officials concerned to

ensure that the AEC Blueprint and the strategic schedules contained therein are implemented in a timely manner

We will enhance cooperation and dialogue with our Dialogue Partners especially in implementing fully the

agreements signed and addressing regional and global challenges

We will continue to reject protectionism re-affirm our commitment to refrain from raising new barriers to trade and

investment and keep our markets open We remain committed to the WTO Doha Development Agenda and look

forward to the early and successful conclusion of the Doha Round

We welcome the G-20 Leaders Statement made at the Pittsburgh Summit in September 2009 and the APEC

Leaders Declaration made in Singapore in November 2009 particularly on the importance of an ambitious and

2

balanced conclusion of the Doha Development Agenda the continued rejection of protectionism and delivering a

global stimulus package to sustain global economic recovery ASEAN strongly believes that it can contribute to the

deliberations of the G-20 through the continued participation of the ASEAN Chair and the ASEAN Se~retaryshy

General in future G-20 Summits

3 Fostering Infrastructure Development

We re-affirm the importance of regional infrastructure development and enhancing connectivity that will playa

crucial role in achieving sustainable global economic recovery through enhanced trade investment tourism and

development We announced the ASEAN Connectivity Initiative at our 15th ASEAN Summit in Thailand in October

2009 to focus our resources and efforts in deepening connectivity within ASEAN and its sub-regional groupings

and in the broader regional framework of East Asia In this regard we task the High Level Task Force on ASEAN

Connectivity to develop the Master Plan on ASEAN Connectivity with recommended measures targets and

tlrnelines-necessary to achieve ASEAN Connectivity for the consideration of the ASEAN Member States We take

note otseveral ASEAN Dialogue Partners interest in ASEAN Connectivity during the Post Ministerial Conferences

and Summits in 2009 and therefore encourage their support towards the full implementation of the Master Plan on

ASEAN Connectivity

We re-affirm the importance of mobilising the regions savings to finance the huge infrastructure needs in the

region In this regard weare encouraged by the progress made under the ASEAN Infrastructure Financing

Mechanism (AIFM) We urge Member States to continue to explore effective financing instruments and policies

including a possible ASEAN Infrastructure Fund for viable regional infrastructure investments

We agree to enhance efforts to pursue physical infrastructure development and the policy and institutional

development in transport ICT and energy sectors in facilitation of transport and logistics necessary to realise

effective connectivity which would reinforce ASEANs position as a hub of the East Asian regi6n for transport

information technology tourism energy and logistics We task the relevant Ministers particularly the ASEAN

on Energy (AMEM) to expedite the completion of the vital physical road rail air inland waterways sea gas and

power linkages within ASEAN as well as the implementation of the multilateral agreements phasing in ASEAN

Open Skies and the ASEAN framework agreements on inter-state transport multimodal transport facilitation of

goods in transit regional gas pipeline connections and power grid We look forward to the completion and

adoption of the ASEAN Strategic Transport Plan (ASTP) 2011-2015 and the ASEAN ICT Master Plan 2011-2015

as well as the implementation of the ASEAN Plan of Action for Energy Cooperation (APAEC) 2010-2015 by the

relevant ASEAN Ministers in 2010 to further enhance coherence in the regional connectivity agenda and the priority

measures for intraregional transport energy and information and communication linkages

We recognise that sub-regional cooperation arrangements such as the Brunei-lndonesia-Malaysia-Philippines

East ASEAN Growth Area (BIMP-EAGA) Indonesia-Malaysia-Thailand Growth Triangle (IMT-GT) Greater Mekong

Sub-Region (GMS) Cambodia - Laos - Viet Nam (CLV) Development Triangle and Ayeyawady - Chao Phrayashy

Mekong Economic Cooperation Strategy (ACMECS) are effective mechanisms to accelerate the implementation of

the regional initiatives In this regard we welcome the work that has been done by these sub-regions and look

forward to consolidating and prioritising existing work plans on connectivity into the Master Plan taking into

account related existing sub-regional cooperation frameworks We also look forward to the implementation of more

projects in the sub-regions to contribute to the narrowing of the development divide and enabling the sub-regions to

link with the rest of ASEAN region and beyond

4 Promoting Sustainable Development

We recognise the need to support more balanced growth within and across economies achieve greater

inclusiveness in our societies sustain our environment and raise our growth potential through good governance

innovation and a knowledge-based economy

reiterate our commitment to ensure that economic development in our region is consistent with the long term

sustainability of our natural resources

We stress the importance of the promotion of creative economy in paving the way for future growth based on

creativity innovation and protection of intellectual property rights We believe that the creative economy which

draws on ASEANs rich cultural heritage combined with creative inputs from people in ASEAN will add substantial

value to its goods and services and will help promote sustainable growth in the region

We affirm ASEANs commitment to fully address socio-economic disparities and poverty that persist across ASEAN

Member States by developing and implementing an ASEAN Roadmap towards realising the Millennium

Development Goals (MDG) To this end we renew our commitment in the Joint Declaration on the Attainment of

the Millennium Development Goals in ASEAN underscoring the importance of better coordination and participation

of all key stakeholders including public and private sector civil societies and UN specialised agencies in

implementing the MDGs We call upon ASEAN Member States to continue supporting the initiatives for poverty

The ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community Council

2009-2010

Introduction

After the ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community (ASCC)

14th Blueprint was approved by the ASEAN Leaders at the ASEAN

Summit in Clia-am Hua Hin Thailand in March 2009 the Socio-Cultural

Community Council (ASCC Council) convened its first meeting on 24 )f

August 2009 and the second meeting on 22 October 2009 Both the

meetings were chaired by HE Mr Kasit Piromya Minister of Foreign

Affairs of Thailand in his capacity as the Chair of ASCC

The First and the Second ASCC Council Meetings have

identified some priorities under the ASCC Blueprint as followsshy

1 ASEAN Awareness and Community Building

With people at its heart and their participation as the basis of

creating a Community of and for the peoples the First ASCC Council

Meeting identified the need to cultivate better historical and cultural

understanding between the peoples especially at the grass roots level

This is key for ASEAN to move forward with a common vision and

aspiration while appreciating its political economic and socio-cultural

diversities Promoting ASEAN awareness through shared identity and

cultural heritage would be fundamentally important in building the

ASEAN Community

2 Education

At the First meeting of the ASCC Council in August 2009

the meeting highlighted the need to empower people through education

in order to successfully realize the ASEAN Community Education could

also support ASEAN Awareness and ASEAN Connectivity both in terms

of physical infrastructure as well as spiritual and cultural connectivity to

15th create the feeling of being an ASEAN citizen At the ASEAN

Summit in October 2009 ASEAN Leaders under the recommendation of

the ASCC Council endorsed the Cha-am Hua Hin Declaration on

Strengthening Cooperation on Education to Achieve an ASEAN Caring

and Sharing Community

ABEAN agreed to highlight and maximize the richness and

diversity of cultures through art heritage and cultural activities in the

region as well as through media cooperation and networking to promote

ASEAN awareness and identity In Thailand the ASEAN Association of

Thailand has been established to be the main vehicle to promote ASEAN

awareness the community building process as well as how ASEAN as an

organization could bring about greater benefit to the people in the region

In addition the ASEAN Education Ministers are in the

process of drawing up the ASEANs Five Year Work Plan on Education

which is aimed at enhancing education standards and promoting ASEAN

community

3 The Promotion and Protection of the Rights of Women and

Children

On the human rights front the ASCC Council in close

collaboration with the ASEAN Ministers Meeting on Social Welfare and

Development (AMMSWD) and the ASEAN Committee on Women

(ACW) successfully concluded the Term of Reference of the ASEAN

Commission on the Promotion and Protection of the Rights of Women

and Children (ACWC) which would be launched at the 16th ASEAN

Summit in Ha Noi Viet Nam The ASCC firmly believes that the ACWC

is an integral part that would complement the ASEAN Commission on

Human Rights (AICHR) on ensuring greater promotion and protection of

human rights in ASEAN

4 Other issues that affect livelihood and well-being of the people in

the region

The ASCC Council has also strived to move forward with

the issues that affect the livelihood and the well-being of the peoples in

the region through implementing the ASCC Blueprint which would serve

as the roadmap to realizing the people-centered ASEAN Community

They include joint responses and cooperation on natural disasters health

and infectious diseases environment the attainment of the Millennium

Development Goal (MDGs) poverty eradication and the social impact of

the global financial crisis as well as the ASEAN Connectivity These

have been reflected through various Leaders declarationsstatements at

the 14th and is ASEAN Summits

In addition there are plans to effectively address the

problems of poverty and health standards through the possible setting up

of funds or financing schemes to support livelihood and employment

projects

5 ASEAN Connectivity

As ASEAN Leaders have put ASEAN Connectivity at the

top of the agenda of ASEAN Community Building it is important not

only to enhance infrastructure linkages within the region but to put

human factor into the process of building an ASEAN Community Not

only would ASEAN Connectivity lead to enhanced infrastructure

networks but connectivity should incorporate better linkages and better

understanding across the whole spectrum of ASEAN peoples The first

High Level Task Force on ASEAN Connectivity was convened in March

2010 and agreed on the need to include promoting education and

ASEAN cultural understanding in the Master Plan for ASEAN

Connectivity The ASCC Council should forge ahead with the

community building process that would make ASEAN Community a

diverse and culturally rich people-centered and socially responsible

community while uplifting the well-being of the people in this region

ASEAN LEADERS STATEMENT ON JOINT RESPONSE TO CLIMATE CHANGE

VIETNAM 2010 WE the Heads of StateGovernment of Brunei Darussalam the Kingdom of Cambodia the Republic of Indonesia the Lao Peoples Democratic Republic Malaysia the Union c1f Myanmar the Republic of the Philippines the Republic of Singapore the Kingdom of Thailand and the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam Member States of ASEAN on the occasion of the 16th ASEAN Summit

RENEWING our commitments made in the ASEAN Joint Statement on Climate Change to the 15th session of the Conference of the Parties (COP) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the 5th session of the Conference Parties serving as the Meeting of Parties (CMP) to the Kyoto Protocol (2009) the ASEAN Declaration on the 13th session of COP to the UNFCCC and the 3rd session of the CMP to the Kyoto Protocol (2007) and the ASEAN Declaration on Environmental Sustainability (2007)

REAFFIRMING that the UNFCCC and its Kyoto Protocol constitute the current legal framework and legal instrument for the international community to combat global climate change and that comprehensive effective and binding outcomes of the Bali Roadmap are essential for furthering the implementation of the UNFCCC and the Kyoto Protocol and should be addressed by a consensusshybased and transparent manner

FURTHER REAFFIRMING the principle of equity and in accordance with their common but differentiated responsibilities and respective capabilities and national circumstances

UNDERSTANDING that while the Copenhagen Accord is not a legally binding instrument it provides elements that could be considered as inputs to the two-track process of the Ad-hoc Working Group on Long-term Cooperative Actions (AWG-LCA) and the Ad-hoc Working Group on Further Commitments for Annex I Parties under the Kyoto Protocol (AWG-KP) aimed at reaching at a fair equitable and legally binding agreement that ensures a successful COP 16CMP 6 in Mexico gt

NOTING the large number of countries associating themselves with the Copenhagen Accord

RECOGNIZING that the Southeast Asian region is also vulnerable to climate change which will seriously affect most of aspects of livelihood and limit our development options for the future including our efforts towards the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals

RECOGNIZING the importance of sustainable forest management in ASEAN which will contribute significantly to the international efforts to promote environmental sustainability and to mitigate the effects of climate change

SHARING a vision for an ASEAN Community resilient to climate change and supporting our national and global efforts to combat climate change consistent with our common but differentiated responsibilities and respective capabilities

DO HEREBY DECLARE TO

Towards a global solution to the challenge of climate change ateOP 161CMP 6 ----_bullbull ~-gt ~gt

1 Reaffirm our right to sustainable development and resolve to achieve the ultimate objective of the UNFCCC to stabilize atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations at a level that would prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system and within a time-frame sufficient to allow ecosystems to adapt naturally to climate change to ensure that food production is not threatened and to enable economic development to proceed in a sustainable manner

2 Urge all Parties of UNFCCC to work together to secure a legally binding agreement particularly to limit the increase in average global temperature to below 2 degrees Celsius above the pre-industrial level and encourage all Parties concerned to engage in further discussions to elaborate appropriate provisions which should be concluded at COP 16CMP 6 in December 2010

2

3 Urge developed countries to continue taking the lead by making more ambitious commitments and setting out specific and binding targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the mid-term and longshyterm

4 Call upon developed countries to support developing countries and take full account of the specific needs and special situations of the least developed countries and those most affected by climate change with adequate predictable and sustainable financial resources transfer of technology as well as capacity enhancement to enable adaptation efforts and nationally appropriate mitigation actions by developing countries through effective and new institutional arrangements

5 Urge all countries particularly developed countries to ensure that their existing and future unilateral policies and measures as well as market-based mechanisms in addressing climate change will not negatively affect international trade as well as the sustainable economic and social development of developing countries taking into full account the specific needs and special situations of the least developed countries

6 Urge developed countries to fulfill their obligations under the UNFCCC and to provide scaled-up new and additional adequate and predictable funding to the developing countries taking into full account the specific needs and special situations of the least developed countries and those most affected by climate change which shall be provided with incentives to continue to develop on a low emission pathway

7 Encourage all developing countries to make active contributions to the global efforts through the development and implementation of Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs) on a voluntary basis in accordance with their different national circumstances while welcoming adequate financial and technical support that is made available to them

8 Encourage South-South cooperation to support ASEAN Member States in addressing the impacts of climate change through technical cooperation and capacity building

9 Reaffirm that agreement on and effective implementation of Reduced Emission from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD)-plus mechanisms is critical for contributions by ASEAN Members States to mitigate emissions and offers major opportunities for enhancing biodiversity conservation and sustainable use of natural resources as well as supporting the livelihood of local communities in a sustainable manner

10 Work constructively together to ensure that the outcome of COP 16CMP 6 will incorporate longshyterm cooperative actions to address climate change in accordance with principles and provisions of the Convention and the Bali Action Plan in particular on mitigation adaptation finance technology transfer capacity building and taking into account the specific national circumstances of Parties and a future agreement of the Second Commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol

11 Commit to actively contribute towards a successful outcome of COP 16CMP 6

Towards an ASEAN Community resilient to climate change

12 Continue to exchange views among ASEAN Member States on international climate negotiations under the UNFCCC before and in Mexico (COP 16CMP 6) as well as other related international conferences In this regard the newly established ASEAN Working Group on Climate Change (AWGCC) should work extensively to develop a common understandingposition of ASEAN in the coming COP 16CMP 6 in 2010 in line with the Bali Roadmap

13 Urge the ASEAN Climate Change Initiative (ACCI) to actively provide a consultative platform to further strengthen regional coordination and cooperation addressing climate change

14 Enhance scientific collaboration including on the following areas

a Downscaling of climate change effects according to different greenhouse gas emissions scenarios for the Southeast Asian region and for local areas according to multiple models

ASEAN LEADERS STATEMENT ON SUSTAINED RECOVERY AND DEVELOPMENT

We the Heads of StateGovernment of the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) met in Ha Noi

Viet Nam on 8-9 April 2010 for the 16th ASEAN Summit We discussed the situation of the global economy

and were pleased to note that it is showing signs of recovery from the global financial and economic crisis

although this recovery is expected to be slow Nonetheless we believe that ASEANs inherent dynamism

will help the region sustain its recovery and attain higher economic growth

We are detennined for ASEAN to sustain its recovery in the aftermath of the global financial crisis and economic

downturn We therefore re-affirm our commitment towards regional integration and building the ASEAN

Commupity and re-affirm our willingness and readiness to participate in coordinated efforts towards sustained

global economic recovery as follows

1 Ensuring Financial Stability in ASEAN and Sustained Recovery

We will cooperate in restoring the health of financial systems and maintaining supportive macroeconomic

policies We will strengthen regional surveillance and economic monitoring capacities for an early detection of

macro-financial risks and vulnerabilities

We affirm our determination to enhance regional financial stability through such regional initiatives as the Chiangshy

Mai Initiative Multilateralisation (CMIM) and the Asian Bond Markets Initiative (ABMI) the Credit Guarantee

Investment Facility (CGIF) and the ongoing enhancement of the ASEAN Surveillance Office We reiterate our

willingness to achieve a more balanced international financial architecture by participating in reforms of financial

regulations prudential frameworks and International Financial Institutions

We will maintain monetary and fiscal support while preparing for orderly unwinding of expansionary policies until

the recovery is on a finn footing We note that as market conditions and the economic outlook are improving we

need to reconsider the continued support of monetary and fiscal policies for sustained recovery and resumption of

private credit flows in our economies

We affirm the need to start working on mechanisms to reverse the fiscal and monetary stimulus and then phase out

these policy accommodations We are fully confident that at the appropriate time we will be able to do so

effectively to ensure sustained recovery and development We welcome the inaugural Informal East Asia Summit

(EAS) Finance Ministers Meeting in May 2010 in Tashkent Uzbekistan

2 Enhancing ASEAN Economic Integration

We re-affirm our resolve to realise the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) which will establish ASEAN as a

single market and production base by 2015 We task all the AEC Council Ministers and officials concerned to

ensure that the AEC Blueprint and the strategic schedules contained therein are implemented in a timely manner

We will enhance cooperation and dialogue with our Dialogue Partners especially in implementing fully the

agreements signed and addressing regional and global challenges

We will continue to reject protectionism re-affirm our commitment to refrain from raising new barriers to trade and

investment and keep our markets open We remain committed to the WTO Doha Development Agenda and look

forward to the early and successful conclusion of the Doha Round

We welcome the G-20 Leaders Statement made at the Pittsburgh Summit in September 2009 and the APEC

Leaders Declaration made in Singapore in November 2009 particularly on the importance of an ambitious and

2

balanced conclusion of the Doha Development Agenda the continued rejection of protectionism and delivering a

global stimulus package to sustain global economic recovery ASEAN strongly believes that it can contribute to the

deliberations of the G-20 through the continued participation of the ASEAN Chair and the ASEAN Se~retaryshy

General in future G-20 Summits

3 Fostering Infrastructure Development

We re-affirm the importance of regional infrastructure development and enhancing connectivity that will playa

crucial role in achieving sustainable global economic recovery through enhanced trade investment tourism and

development We announced the ASEAN Connectivity Initiative at our 15th ASEAN Summit in Thailand in October

2009 to focus our resources and efforts in deepening connectivity within ASEAN and its sub-regional groupings

and in the broader regional framework of East Asia In this regard we task the High Level Task Force on ASEAN

Connectivity to develop the Master Plan on ASEAN Connectivity with recommended measures targets and

tlrnelines-necessary to achieve ASEAN Connectivity for the consideration of the ASEAN Member States We take

note otseveral ASEAN Dialogue Partners interest in ASEAN Connectivity during the Post Ministerial Conferences

and Summits in 2009 and therefore encourage their support towards the full implementation of the Master Plan on

ASEAN Connectivity

We re-affirm the importance of mobilising the regions savings to finance the huge infrastructure needs in the

region In this regard weare encouraged by the progress made under the ASEAN Infrastructure Financing

Mechanism (AIFM) We urge Member States to continue to explore effective financing instruments and policies

including a possible ASEAN Infrastructure Fund for viable regional infrastructure investments

We agree to enhance efforts to pursue physical infrastructure development and the policy and institutional

development in transport ICT and energy sectors in facilitation of transport and logistics necessary to realise

effective connectivity which would reinforce ASEANs position as a hub of the East Asian regi6n for transport

information technology tourism energy and logistics We task the relevant Ministers particularly the ASEAN

Transport Ministers (ATM) the ASEAN Telecommunications and ICT Ministers (TELMIN) and the ASEAN Ministers

on Energy (AMEM) to expedite the completion of the vital physical road rail air inland waterways sea gas and

power linkages within ASEAN as well as the implementation of the multilateral agreements phasing in ASEAN

Open Skies and the ASEAN framework agreements on inter-state transport multimodal transport facilitation of

goods in transit regional gas pipeline connections and power grid We look forward to the completion and

adoption of the ASEAN Strategic Transport Plan (ASTP) 2011-2015 and the ASEAN ICT Master Plan 2011-2015

as well as the implementation of the ASEAN Plan of Action for Energy Cooperation (APAEC) 2010-2015 by the

relevant ASEAN Ministers in 2010 to further enhance coherence in the regional connectivity agenda and the priority

measures for intraregional transport energy and information and communication linkages

We recognise that sub-regional cooperation arrangements such as the Brunei-lndonesia-Malaysia-Philippines

East ASEAN Growth Area (BIMP-EAGA) Indonesia-Malaysia-Thailand Growth Triangle (IMT-GT) Greater Mekong

Sub-Region (GMS) Cambodia - Laos - Viet Nam (CLV) Development Triangle and Ayeyawady - Chao Phrayashy

Mekong Economic Cooperation Strategy (ACMECS) are effective mechanisms to accelerate the implementation of

the regional initiatives In this regard we welcome the work that has been done by these sub-regions and look

forward to consolidating and prioritising existing work plans on connectivity into the Master Plan taking into

account related existing sub-regional cooperation frameworks We also look forward to the implementation of more

projects in the sub-regions to contribute to the narrowing of the development divide and enabling the sub-regions to

link with the rest of ASEAN region and beyond

creativity innovation and protection of intellectual property rights We believe that the creative economy which

draws on ASEANs rich cultural heritage combined with creative inputs from people in ASEAN will add substantial

value to its goods and services and will help promote sustainable growth in the region

We affirm ASEANs commitment to fully address socio-economic disparities and poverty that persist across ASEAN

Member States by developing and implementing an ASEAN Roadmap towards realising the Millennium

Development Goals (MDG) To this end we renew our commitment in the Joint Declaration on the Attainment of

the Millennium Development Goals in ASEAN underscoring the importance of better coordination and participation

of all key stakeholders including public and private sector civil societies and UN specialised agencies in

implementing the MDGs We call upon ASEAN Member States to continue supporting the initiatives for poverty

Greater Mekong Sub-region the Mekong River Commission and encourage the contribution of ASEANs partners

to such cooperation in order to promote sustainable development of each Member State and the region

development and regional competitiveness We will allocate substantial amount of resources for the promotion and

enhancement of educational cooperation in the region Recognising that the countrys human resource is its best

asset we pledge to continuously support and carry out human resource development initiatives in accordance with

the requirements of our domestic and global labour market

7 Intensifying Dialogues with Private Sector

We believe that an effective public-private sector engagement would be mutually reinforcing Towards this end we

will foster a more active and efficient participation of the private sector in the realisation of ASEAN Community

especlally the ASEAN Economic Community in ensuring ASEAN sustained recovery

We renew our commitment to support and develop small and medium enterprises for them to gain better access to

regional and global markets and for them to also benefit from ASEAN integration in order to address the

development divide and accelerate the economic integration

this Initiative in particular the Second Work Plan of the IAI We acknowledge the contribution of the ASEAN-6 in

providing technical assistance and capacity-building measures to address the needs of the CLMV countries We

The ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community Council

2009-2010

Introduction

After the ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community (ASCC)

14th Blueprint was approved by the ASEAN Leaders at the ASEAN

Summit in Clia-am Hua Hin Thailand in March 2009 the Socio-Cultural

Community Council (ASCC Council) convened its first meeting on 24 )f

August 2009 and the second meeting on 22 October 2009 Both the

meetings were chaired by HE Mr Kasit Piromya Minister of Foreign

Affairs of Thailand in his capacity as the Chair of ASCC

The First and the Second ASCC Council Meetings have

identified some priorities under the ASCC Blueprint as followsshy

1 ASEAN Awareness and Community Building

With people at its heart and their participation as the basis of

creating a Community of and for the peoples the First ASCC Council

Meeting identified the need to cultivate better historical and cultural

understanding between the peoples especially at the grass roots level

This is key for ASEAN to move forward with a common vision and

aspiration while appreciating its political economic and socio-cultural

diversities Promoting ASEAN awareness through shared identity and

cultural heritage would be fundamentally important in building the

ASEAN Community

2 Education

At the First meeting of the ASCC Council in August 2009

the meeting highlighted the need to empower people through education

in order to successfully realize the ASEAN Community Education could

also support ASEAN Awareness and ASEAN Connectivity both in terms

of physical infrastructure as well as spiritual and cultural connectivity to

15th create the feeling of being an ASEAN citizen At the ASEAN

Summit in October 2009 ASEAN Leaders under the recommendation of

the ASCC Council endorsed the Cha-am Hua Hin Declaration on

Strengthening Cooperation on Education to Achieve an ASEAN Caring

and Sharing Community

ABEAN agreed to highlight and maximize the richness and

diversity of cultures through art heritage and cultural activities in the

region as well as through media cooperation and networking to promote

ASEAN awareness and identity In Thailand the ASEAN Association of

Thailand has been established to be the main vehicle to promote ASEAN

awareness the community building process as well as how ASEAN as an

organization could bring about greater benefit to the people in the region

In addition the ASEAN Education Ministers are in the

process of drawing up the ASEANs Five Year Work Plan on Education

which is aimed at enhancing education standards and promoting ASEAN

community

3 The Promotion and Protection of the Rights of Women and

Children

On the human rights front the ASCC Council in close

collaboration with the ASEAN Ministers Meeting on Social Welfare and

Development (AMMSWD) and the ASEAN Committee on Women

(ACW) successfully concluded the Term of Reference of the ASEAN

Commission on the Promotion and Protection of the Rights of Women

and Children (ACWC) which would be launched at the 16th ASEAN

Summit in Ha Noi Viet Nam The ASCC firmly believes that the ACWC

is an integral part that would complement the ASEAN Commission on

Human Rights (AICHR) on ensuring greater promotion and protection of

human rights in ASEAN

4 Other issues that affect livelihood and well-being of the people in

the region

The ASCC Council has also strived to move forward with

the issues that affect the livelihood and the well-being of the peoples in

the region through implementing the ASCC Blueprint which would serve

as the roadmap to realizing the people-centered ASEAN Community

They include joint responses and cooperation on natural disasters health

and infectious diseases environment the attainment of the Millennium

Development Goal (MDGs) poverty eradication and the social impact of

the global financial crisis as well as the ASEAN Connectivity These

have been reflected through various Leaders declarationsstatements at

the 14th and is ASEAN Summits

In addition there are plans to effectively address the

problems of poverty and health standards through the possible setting up

of funds or financing schemes to support livelihood and employment

projects

5 ASEAN Connectivity

As ASEAN Leaders have put ASEAN Connectivity at the

top of the agenda of ASEAN Community Building it is important not

only to enhance infrastructure linkages within the region but to put

human factor into the process of building an ASEAN Community Not

only would ASEAN Connectivity lead to enhanced infrastructure

networks but connectivity should incorporate better linkages and better

understanding across the whole spectrum of ASEAN peoples The first

High Level Task Force on ASEAN Connectivity was convened in March

2010 and agreed on the need to include promoting education and

ASEAN cultural understanding in the Master Plan for ASEAN

Connectivity The ASCC Council should forge ahead with the

community building process that would make ASEAN Community a

diverse and culturally rich people-centered and socially responsible

community while uplifting the well-being of the people in this region

We the Heads of StateGovernment of the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) met in Ha Noi

Viet Nam on 8-9 April 2010 for the 16th ASEAN Summit We discussed the situation of the global economy

and were pleased to note that it is showing signs of recovery from the global financial and economic crisis

although this recovery is expected to be slow Nonetheless we believe that ASEANs inherent dynamism

will help the region sustain its recovery and attain higher economic growth

We are detennined for ASEAN to sustain its recovery in the aftermath of the global financial crisis and economic

downturn We therefore re-affirm our commitment towards regional integration and building the ASEAN

Commupity and re-affirm our willingness and readiness to participate in coordinated efforts towards sustained

global economic recovery as follows

1 Ensuring Financial Stability in ASEAN and Sustained Recovery

We will cooperate in restoring the health of financial systems and maintaining supportive macroeconomic

policies We will strengthen regional surveillance and economic monitoring capacities for an early detection of

macro-financial risks and vulnerabilities

Investment Facility (CGIF) and the ongoing enhancement of the ASEAN Surveillance Office We reiterate our

willingness to achieve a more balanced international financial architecture by participating in reforms of financial

regulations prudential frameworks and International Financial Institutions

We will maintain monetary and fiscal support while preparing for orderly unwinding of expansionary policies until

the recovery is on a finn footing We note that as market conditions and the economic outlook are improving we

need to reconsider the continued support of monetary and fiscal policies for sustained recovery and resumption of

private credit flows in our economies

We affirm the need to start working on mechanisms to reverse the fiscal and monetary stimulus and then phase out

these policy accommodations We are fully confident that at the appropriate time we will be able to do so

effectively to ensure sustained recovery and development We welcome the inaugural Informal East Asia Summit

(EAS) Finance Ministers Meeting in May 2010 in Tashkent Uzbekistan

2 Enhancing ASEAN Economic Integration

We re-affirm our resolve to realise the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) which will establish ASEAN as a

single market and production base by 2015 We task all the AEC Council Ministers and officials concerned to

ensure that the AEC Blueprint and the strategic schedules contained therein are implemented in a timely manner

We will enhance cooperation and dialogue with our Dialogue Partners especially in implementing fully the

agreements signed and addressing regional and global challenges

We will continue to reject protectionism re-affirm our commitment to refrain from raising new barriers to trade and

investment and keep our markets open We remain committed to the WTO Doha Development Agenda and look

forward to the early and successful conclusion of the Doha Round

balanced conclusion of the Doha Development Agenda the continued rejection of protectionism and delivering a

global stimulus package to sustain global economic recovery ASEAN strongly believes that it can contribute to the

deliberations of the G-20 through the continued participation of the ASEAN Chair and the ASEAN Se~retaryshy

General in future G-20 Summits

3 Fostering Infrastructure Development

We re-affirm the importance of regional infrastructure development and enhancing connectivity that will playa

crucial role in achieving sustainable global economic recovery through enhanced trade investment tourism and

development We announced the ASEAN Connectivity Initiative at our 15th ASEAN Summit in Thailand in October

2009 to focus our resources and efforts in deepening connectivity within ASEAN and its sub-regional groupings

and in the broader regional framework of East Asia In this regard we task the High Level Task Force on ASEAN

Connectivity to develop the Master Plan on ASEAN Connectivity with recommended measures targets and

tlrnelines-necessary to achieve ASEAN Connectivity for the consideration of the ASEAN Member States We take

note otseveral ASEAN Dialogue Partners interest in ASEAN Connectivity during the Post Ministerial Conferences

and Summits in 2009 and therefore encourage their support towards the full implementation of the Master Plan on

ASEAN Connectivity

We re-affirm the importance of mobilising the regions savings to finance the huge infrastructure needs in the

region In this regard weare encouraged by the progress made under the ASEAN Infrastructure Financing

Mechanism (AIFM) We urge Member States to continue to explore effective financing instruments and policies

including a possible ASEAN Infrastructure Fund for viable regional infrastructure investments

We agree to enhance efforts to pursue physical infrastructure development and the policy and institutional

development in transport ICT and energy sectors in facilitation of transport and logistics necessary to realise

as well as the implementation of the ASEAN Plan of Action for Energy Cooperation (APAEC) 2010-2015 by the

relevant ASEAN Ministers in 2010 to further enhance coherence in the regional connectivity agenda and the priority

measures for intraregional transport energy and information and communication linkages

We recognise that sub-regional cooperation arrangements such as the Brunei-lndonesia-Malaysia-Philippines

East ASEAN Growth Area (BIMP-EAGA) Indonesia-Malaysia-Thailand Growth Triangle (IMT-GT) Greater Mekong

Sub-Region (GMS) Cambodia - Laos - Viet Nam (CLV) Development Triangle and Ayeyawady - Chao Phrayashy

Mekong Economic Cooperation Strategy (ACMECS) are effective mechanisms to accelerate the implementation of

the regional initiatives In this regard we welcome the work that has been done by these sub-regions and look

forward to consolidating and prioritising existing work plans on connectivity into the Master Plan taking into

account related existing sub-regional cooperation frameworks We also look forward to the implementation of more

projects in the sub-regions to contribute to the narrowing of the development divide and enabling the sub-regions to

link with the rest of ASEAN region and beyond

reiterate our commitment to ensure that economic development in our region is consistent with the long term

sustainability of our natural resources

We stress the importance of the promotion of creative economy in paving the way for future growth based on

creativity innovation and protection of intellectual property rights We believe that the creative economy which

draws on ASEANs rich cultural heritage combined with creative inputs from people in ASEAN will add substantial

value to its goods and services and will help promote sustainable growth in the region

We affirm ASEANs commitment to fully address socio-economic disparities and poverty that persist across ASEAN

Member States by developing and implementing an ASEAN Roadmap towards realising the Millennium

Development Goals (MDG) To this end we renew our commitment in the Joint Declaration on the Attainment of

the Millennium Development Goals in ASEAN underscoring the importance of better coordination and participation

of all key stakeholders including public and private sector civil societies and UN specialised agencies in

implementing the MDGs We call upon ASEAN Member States to continue supporting the initiatives for poverty

The ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community Council

2009-2010

Introduction

After the ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community (ASCC)

14th Blueprint was approved by the ASEAN Leaders at the ASEAN

Summit in Clia-am Hua Hin Thailand in March 2009 the Socio-Cultural

Community Council (ASCC Council) convened its first meeting on 24 )f

August 2009 and the second meeting on 22 October 2009 Both the

meetings were chaired by HE Mr Kasit Piromya Minister of Foreign

Affairs of Thailand in his capacity as the Chair of ASCC

The First and the Second ASCC Council Meetings have

identified some priorities under the ASCC Blueprint as followsshy

1 ASEAN Awareness and Community Building

With people at its heart and their participation as the basis of

creating a Community of and for the peoples the First ASCC Council

Meeting identified the need to cultivate better historical and cultural

understanding between the peoples especially at the grass roots level

This is key for ASEAN to move forward with a common vision and

aspiration while appreciating its political economic and socio-cultural

diversities Promoting ASEAN awareness through shared identity and

cultural heritage would be fundamentally important in building the

ASEAN Community

2 Education

At the First meeting of the ASCC Council in August 2009

the meeting highlighted the need to empower people through education

in order to successfully realize the ASEAN Community Education could

also support ASEAN Awareness and ASEAN Connectivity both in terms

of physical infrastructure as well as spiritual and cultural connectivity to

15th create the feeling of being an ASEAN citizen At the ASEAN

Summit in October 2009 ASEAN Leaders under the recommendation of

the ASCC Council endorsed the Cha-am Hua Hin Declaration on

Strengthening Cooperation on Education to Achieve an ASEAN Caring

and Sharing Community

ABEAN agreed to highlight and maximize the richness and

diversity of cultures through art heritage and cultural activities in the

region as well as through media cooperation and networking to promote

ASEAN awareness and identity In Thailand the ASEAN Association of

Thailand has been established to be the main vehicle to promote ASEAN

awareness the community building process as well as how ASEAN as an

organization could bring about greater benefit to the people in the region

In addition the ASEAN Education Ministers are in the

process of drawing up the ASEANs Five Year Work Plan on Education

which is aimed at enhancing education standards and promoting ASEAN

community

3 The Promotion and Protection of the Rights of Women and

Children

On the human rights front the ASCC Council in close

collaboration with the ASEAN Ministers Meeting on Social Welfare and

Development (AMMSWD) and the ASEAN Committee on Women

(ACW) successfully concluded the Term of Reference of the ASEAN

Commission on the Promotion and Protection of the Rights of Women

and Children (ACWC) which would be launched at the 16th ASEAN

Summit in Ha Noi Viet Nam The ASCC firmly believes that the ACWC

is an integral part that would complement the ASEAN Commission on

Human Rights (AICHR) on ensuring greater promotion and protection of

human rights in ASEAN

4 Other issues that affect livelihood and well-being of the people in

the region

The ASCC Council has also strived to move forward with

the issues that affect the livelihood and the well-being of the peoples in

the region through implementing the ASCC Blueprint which would serve

as the roadmap to realizing the people-centered ASEAN Community

They include joint responses and cooperation on natural disasters health

and infectious diseases environment the attainment of the Millennium

Development Goal (MDGs) poverty eradication and the social impact of

the global financial crisis as well as the ASEAN Connectivity These

have been reflected through various Leaders declarationsstatements at

the 14th and is ASEAN Summits

In addition there are plans to effectively address the

problems of poverty and health standards through the possible setting up

of funds or financing schemes to support livelihood and employment

projects

5 ASEAN Connectivity

As ASEAN Leaders have put ASEAN Connectivity at the

top of the agenda of ASEAN Community Building it is important not

only to enhance infrastructure linkages within the region but to put

human factor into the process of building an ASEAN Community Not

only would ASEAN Connectivity lead to enhanced infrastructure

networks but connectivity should incorporate better linkages and better

understanding across the whole spectrum of ASEAN peoples The first

High Level Task Force on ASEAN Connectivity was convened in March

2010 and agreed on the need to include promoting education and

ASEAN cultural understanding in the Master Plan for ASEAN

Connectivity The ASCC Council should forge ahead with the

community building process that would make ASEAN Community a

diverse and culturally rich people-centered and socially responsible

community while uplifting the well-being of the people in this region

We will maintain monetary and fiscal support while preparing for orderly unwinding of expansionary policies until

the recovery is on a finn footing We note that as market conditions and the economic outlook are improving we

need to reconsider the continued support of monetary and fiscal policies for sustained recovery and resumption of

private credit flows in our economies

We affirm the need to start working on mechanisms to reverse the fiscal and monetary stimulus and then phase out

these policy accommodations We are fully confident that at the appropriate time we will be able to do so

effectively to ensure sustained recovery and development We welcome the inaugural Informal East Asia Summit

(EAS) Finance Ministers Meeting in May 2010 in Tashkent Uzbekistan

global stimulus package to sustain global economic recovery ASEAN strongly believes that it can contribute to the

deliberations of the G-20 through the continued participation of the ASEAN Chair and the ASEAN Se~retaryshy

General in future G-20 Summits

3 Fostering Infrastructure Development

We re-affirm the importance of regional infrastructure development and enhancing connectivity that will playa

relevant ASEAN Ministers in 2010 to further enhance coherence in the regional connectivity agenda and the priority

measures for intraregional transport energy and information and communication linkages

We recognise that sub-regional cooperation arrangements such as the Brunei-lndonesia-Malaysia-Philippines

East ASEAN Growth Area (BIMP-EAGA) Indonesia-Malaysia-Thailand Growth Triangle (IMT-GT) Greater Mekong

Sub-Region (GMS) Cambodia - Laos - Viet Nam (CLV) Development Triangle and Ayeyawady - Chao Phrayashy

The ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community Council

2009-2010

Introduction

After the ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community (ASCC)

14th Blueprint was approved by the ASEAN Leaders at the ASEAN

Summit in Clia-am Hua Hin Thailand in March 2009 the Socio-Cultural

Community Council (ASCC Council) convened its first meeting on 24 )f

August 2009 and the second meeting on 22 October 2009 Both the

meetings were chaired by HE Mr Kasit Piromya Minister of Foreign

Affairs of Thailand in his capacity as the Chair of ASCC

The First and the Second ASCC Council Meetings have

identified some priorities under the ASCC Blueprint as followsshy

1 ASEAN Awareness and Community Building

With people at its heart and their participation as the basis of

creating a Community of and for the peoples the First ASCC Council

Meeting identified the need to cultivate better historical and cultural

understanding between the peoples especially at the grass roots level

This is key for ASEAN to move forward with a common vision and

aspiration while appreciating its political economic and socio-cultural

diversities Promoting ASEAN awareness through shared identity and

cultural heritage would be fundamentally important in building the

ASEAN Community

2 Education

At the First meeting of the ASCC Council in August 2009

the meeting highlighted the need to empower people through education

in order to successfully realize the ASEAN Community Education could

also support ASEAN Awareness and ASEAN Connectivity both in terms

of physical infrastructure as well as spiritual and cultural connectivity to

15th create the feeling of being an ASEAN citizen At the ASEAN

Summit in October 2009 ASEAN Leaders under the recommendation of

the ASCC Council endorsed the Cha-am Hua Hin Declaration on

Strengthening Cooperation on Education to Achieve an ASEAN Caring

and Sharing Community

ABEAN agreed to highlight and maximize the richness and

diversity of cultures through art heritage and cultural activities in the

region as well as through media cooperation and networking to promote

ASEAN awareness and identity In Thailand the ASEAN Association of

Thailand has been established to be the main vehicle to promote ASEAN

awareness the community building process as well as how ASEAN as an

organization could bring about greater benefit to the people in the region

In addition the ASEAN Education Ministers are in the

process of drawing up the ASEANs Five Year Work Plan on Education

which is aimed at enhancing education standards and promoting ASEAN

community

3 The Promotion and Protection of the Rights of Women and

Children

On the human rights front the ASCC Council in close

collaboration with the ASEAN Ministers Meeting on Social Welfare and

Development (AMMSWD) and the ASEAN Committee on Women

(ACW) successfully concluded the Term of Reference of the ASEAN

Commission on the Promotion and Protection of the Rights of Women

and Children (ACWC) which would be launched at the 16th ASEAN

Summit in Ha Noi Viet Nam The ASCC firmly believes that the ACWC

is an integral part that would complement the ASEAN Commission on

Human Rights (AICHR) on ensuring greater promotion and protection of

human rights in ASEAN

4 Other issues that affect livelihood and well-being of the people in

the region

The ASCC Council has also strived to move forward with

the issues that affect the livelihood and the well-being of the peoples in

the region through implementing the ASCC Blueprint which would serve

as the roadmap to realizing the people-centered ASEAN Community

They include joint responses and cooperation on natural disasters health

and infectious diseases environment the attainment of the Millennium

Development Goal (MDGs) poverty eradication and the social impact of

the global financial crisis as well as the ASEAN Connectivity These

have been reflected through various Leaders declarationsstatements at

the 14th and is ASEAN Summits

In addition there are plans to effectively address the

problems of poverty and health standards through the possible setting up

of funds or financing schemes to support livelihood and employment

projects

5 ASEAN Connectivity

As ASEAN Leaders have put ASEAN Connectivity at the

top of the agenda of ASEAN Community Building it is important not

only to enhance infrastructure linkages within the region but to put

human factor into the process of building an ASEAN Community Not

only would ASEAN Connectivity lead to enhanced infrastructure

networks but connectivity should incorporate better linkages and better

understanding across the whole spectrum of ASEAN peoples The first

High Level Task Force on ASEAN Connectivity was convened in March

2010 and agreed on the need to include promoting education and

ASEAN cultural understanding in the Master Plan for ASEAN

Connectivity The ASCC Council should forge ahead with the

community building process that would make ASEAN Community a

diverse and culturally rich people-centered and socially responsible

community while uplifting the well-being of the people in this region

ASEAN LEADERS STATEMENT ON SUSTAINED RECOVERY AND DEVELOPMENT

We the Heads of StateGovernment of the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) met in Ha Noi

Viet Nam on 8-9 April 2010 for the 16th ASEAN Summit We discussed the situation of the global economy

and were pleased to note that it is showing signs of recovery from the global financial and economic crisis

although this recovery is expected to be slow Nonetheless we believe that ASEANs inherent dynamism

will help the region sustain its recovery and attain higher economic growth

We are detennined for ASEAN to sustain its recovery in the aftermath of the global financial crisis and economic

downturn We therefore re-affirm our commitment towards regional integration and building the ASEAN

Commupity and re-affirm our willingness and readiness to participate in coordinated efforts towards sustained

global economic recovery as follows

1 Ensuring Financial Stability in ASEAN and Sustained Recovery

We will cooperate in restoring the health of financial systems and maintaining supportive macroeconomic

policies We will strengthen regional surveillance and economic monitoring capacities for an early detection of

macro-financial risks and vulnerabilities

We affirm our determination to enhance regional financial stability through such regional initiatives as the Chiangshy

Mai Initiative Multilateralisation (CMIM) and the Asian Bond Markets Initiative (ABMI) the Credit Guarantee

Investment Facility (CGIF) and the ongoing enhancement of the ASEAN Surveillance Office We reiterate our

willingness to achieve a more balanced international financial architecture by participating in reforms of financial

regulations prudential frameworks and International Financial Institutions

We will maintain monetary and fiscal support while preparing for orderly unwinding of expansionary policies until

the recovery is on a finn footing We note that as market conditions and the economic outlook are improving we

need to reconsider the continued support of monetary and fiscal policies for sustained recovery and resumption of

private credit flows in our economies

We affirm the need to start working on mechanisms to reverse the fiscal and monetary stimulus and then phase out

these policy accommodations We are fully confident that at the appropriate time we will be able to do so

effectively to ensure sustained recovery and development We welcome the inaugural Informal East Asia Summit

(EAS) Finance Ministers Meeting in May 2010 in Tashkent Uzbekistan

2 Enhancing ASEAN Economic Integration

We re-affirm our resolve to realise the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) which will establish ASEAN as a

single market and production base by 2015 We task all the AEC Council Ministers and officials concerned to

ensure that the AEC Blueprint and the strategic schedules contained therein are implemented in a timely manner

We will enhance cooperation and dialogue with our Dialogue Partners especially in implementing fully the

agreements signed and addressing regional and global challenges

We will continue to reject protectionism re-affirm our commitment to refrain from raising new barriers to trade and

investment and keep our markets open We remain committed to the WTO Doha Development Agenda and look

forward to the early and successful conclusion of the Doha Round

We welcome the G-20 Leaders Statement made at the Pittsburgh Summit in September 2009 and the APEC

Leaders Declaration made in Singapore in November 2009 particularly on the importance of an ambitious and

2

balanced conclusion of the Doha Development Agenda the continued rejection of protectionism and delivering a

global stimulus package to sustain global economic recovery ASEAN strongly believes that it can contribute to the

deliberations of the G-20 through the continued participation of the ASEAN Chair and the ASEAN Se~retaryshy

General in future G-20 Summits

3 Fostering Infrastructure Development

We re-affirm the importance of regional infrastructure development and enhancing connectivity that will playa

crucial role in achieving sustainable global economic recovery through enhanced trade investment tourism and

development We announced the ASEAN Connectivity Initiative at our 15th ASEAN Summit in Thailand in October

2009 to focus our resources and efforts in deepening connectivity within ASEAN and its sub-regional groupings

and in the broader regional framework of East Asia In this regard we task the High Level Task Force on ASEAN

Connectivity to develop the Master Plan on ASEAN Connectivity with recommended measures targets and

tlrnelines-necessary to achieve ASEAN Connectivity for the consideration of the ASEAN Member States We take

note otseveral ASEAN Dialogue Partners interest in ASEAN Connectivity during the Post Ministerial Conferences

and Summits in 2009 and therefore encourage their support towards the full implementation of the Master Plan on

ASEAN Connectivity

We re-affirm the importance of mobilising the regions savings to finance the huge infrastructure needs in the

region In this regard weare encouraged by the progress made under the ASEAN Infrastructure Financing

Mechanism (AIFM) We urge Member States to continue to explore effective financing instruments and policies

including a possible ASEAN Infrastructure Fund for viable regional infrastructure investments

We agree to enhance efforts to pursue physical infrastructure development and the policy and institutional

development in transport ICT and energy sectors in facilitation of transport and logistics necessary to realise

effective connectivity which would reinforce ASEANs position as a hub of the East Asian regi6n for transport

information technology tourism energy and logistics We task the relevant Ministers particularly the ASEAN

as well as the implementation of the ASEAN Plan of Action for Energy Cooperation (APAEC) 2010-2015 by the

relevant ASEAN Ministers in 2010 to further enhance coherence in the regional connectivity agenda and the priority

measures for intraregional transport energy and information and communication linkages

We recognise that sub-regional cooperation arrangements such as the Brunei-lndonesia-Malaysia-Philippines

East ASEAN Growth Area (BIMP-EAGA) Indonesia-Malaysia-Thailand Growth Triangle (IMT-GT) Greater Mekong

Sub-Region (GMS) Cambodia - Laos - Viet Nam (CLV) Development Triangle and Ayeyawady - Chao Phrayashy

Mekong Economic Cooperation Strategy (ACMECS) are effective mechanisms to accelerate the implementation of

the regional initiatives In this regard we welcome the work that has been done by these sub-regions and look

forward to consolidating and prioritising existing work plans on connectivity into the Master Plan taking into

account related existing sub-regional cooperation frameworks We also look forward to the implementation of more

projects in the sub-regions to contribute to the narrowing of the development divide and enabling the sub-regions to

link with the rest of ASEAN region and beyond

creativity innovation and protection of intellectual property rights We believe that the creative economy which

draws on ASEANs rich cultural heritage combined with creative inputs from people in ASEAN will add substantial

value to its goods and services and will help promote sustainable growth in the region

We affirm ASEANs commitment to fully address socio-economic disparities and poverty that persist across ASEAN

Member States by developing and implementing an ASEAN Roadmap towards realising the Millennium

Development Goals (MDG) To this end we renew our commitment in the Joint Declaration on the Attainment of

the Millennium Development Goals in ASEAN underscoring the importance of better coordination and participation

of all key stakeholders including public and private sector civil societies and UN specialised agencies in

implementing the MDGs We call upon ASEAN Member States to continue supporting the initiatives for poverty

will foster a more active and efficient participation of the private sector in the realisation of ASEAN Community

especlally the ASEAN Economic Community in ensuring ASEAN sustained recovery

The ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community Council

2009-2010

Introduction

After the ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community (ASCC)

14th Blueprint was approved by the ASEAN Leaders at the ASEAN

Summit in Clia-am Hua Hin Thailand in March 2009 the Socio-Cultural

Community Council (ASCC Council) convened its first meeting on 24 )f

August 2009 and the second meeting on 22 October 2009 Both the

meetings were chaired by HE Mr Kasit Piromya Minister of Foreign

Affairs of Thailand in his capacity as the Chair of ASCC

The First and the Second ASCC Council Meetings have

identified some priorities under the ASCC Blueprint as followsshy

1 ASEAN Awareness and Community Building

With people at its heart and their participation as the basis of

creating a Community of and for the peoples the First ASCC Council

Meeting identified the need to cultivate better historical and cultural

understanding between the peoples especially at the grass roots level

This is key for ASEAN to move forward with a common vision and

aspiration while appreciating its political economic and socio-cultural

diversities Promoting ASEAN awareness through shared identity and

cultural heritage would be fundamentally important in building the

ASEAN Community

2 Education

At the First meeting of the ASCC Council in August 2009

the meeting highlighted the need to empower people through education

in order to successfully realize the ASEAN Community Education could

also support ASEAN Awareness and ASEAN Connectivity both in terms

of physical infrastructure as well as spiritual and cultural connectivity to

15th create the feeling of being an ASEAN citizen At the ASEAN

Summit in October 2009 ASEAN Leaders under the recommendation of

the ASCC Council endorsed the Cha-am Hua Hin Declaration on

Strengthening Cooperation on Education to Achieve an ASEAN Caring

and Sharing Community

ABEAN agreed to highlight and maximize the richness and

diversity of cultures through art heritage and cultural activities in the

region as well as through media cooperation and networking to promote

ASEAN awareness and identity In Thailand the ASEAN Association of

Thailand has been established to be the main vehicle to promote ASEAN

awareness the community building process as well as how ASEAN as an

organization could bring about greater benefit to the people in the region

In addition the ASEAN Education Ministers are in the

process of drawing up the ASEANs Five Year Work Plan on Education

which is aimed at enhancing education standards and promoting ASEAN

community

3 The Promotion and Protection of the Rights of Women and

Children

On the human rights front the ASCC Council in close

collaboration with the ASEAN Ministers Meeting on Social Welfare and

Development (AMMSWD) and the ASEAN Committee on Women

(ACW) successfully concluded the Term of Reference of the ASEAN

Commission on the Promotion and Protection of the Rights of Women

and Children (ACWC) which would be launched at the 16th ASEAN

Summit in Ha Noi Viet Nam The ASCC firmly believes that the ACWC

is an integral part that would complement the ASEAN Commission on

Human Rights (AICHR) on ensuring greater promotion and protection of

human rights in ASEAN

4 Other issues that affect livelihood and well-being of the people in

the region

The ASCC Council has also strived to move forward with

the issues that affect the livelihood and the well-being of the peoples in

the region through implementing the ASCC Blueprint which would serve

as the roadmap to realizing the people-centered ASEAN Community

They include joint responses and cooperation on natural disasters health

and infectious diseases environment the attainment of the Millennium

Development Goal (MDGs) poverty eradication and the social impact of

the global financial crisis as well as the ASEAN Connectivity These

have been reflected through various Leaders declarationsstatements at

the 14th and is ASEAN Summits

In addition there are plans to effectively address the

problems of poverty and health standards through the possible setting up

of funds or financing schemes to support livelihood and employment

projects

5 ASEAN Connectivity

As ASEAN Leaders have put ASEAN Connectivity at the

top of the agenda of ASEAN Community Building it is important not

only to enhance infrastructure linkages within the region but to put

human factor into the process of building an ASEAN Community Not

only would ASEAN Connectivity lead to enhanced infrastructure

networks but connectivity should incorporate better linkages and better

understanding across the whole spectrum of ASEAN peoples The first

High Level Task Force on ASEAN Connectivity was convened in March

2010 and agreed on the need to include promoting education and

ASEAN cultural understanding in the Master Plan for ASEAN

Connectivity The ASCC Council should forge ahead with the

community building process that would make ASEAN Community a

diverse and culturally rich people-centered and socially responsible

community while uplifting the well-being of the people in this region

ASEAN LEADERS STATEMENT ON SUSTAINED RECOVERY AND DEVELOPMENT

We the Heads of StateGovernment of the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) met in Ha Noi

Viet Nam on 8-9 April 2010 for the 16th ASEAN Summit We discussed the situation of the global economy

and were pleased to note that it is showing signs of recovery from the global financial and economic crisis

although this recovery is expected to be slow Nonetheless we believe that ASEANs inherent dynamism

will help the region sustain its recovery and attain higher economic growth

We are detennined for ASEAN to sustain its recovery in the aftermath of the global financial crisis and economic

downturn We therefore re-affirm our commitment towards regional integration and building the ASEAN

Commupity and re-affirm our willingness and readiness to participate in coordinated efforts towards sustained

global economic recovery as follows

1 Ensuring Financial Stability in ASEAN and Sustained Recovery

We will cooperate in restoring the health of financial systems and maintaining supportive macroeconomic

policies We will strengthen regional surveillance and economic monitoring capacities for an early detection of

macro-financial risks and vulnerabilities

We affirm our determination to enhance regional financial stability through such regional initiatives as the Chiangshy

Mai Initiative Multilateralisation (CMIM) and the Asian Bond Markets Initiative (ABMI) the Credit Guarantee

Investment Facility (CGIF) and the ongoing enhancement of the ASEAN Surveillance Office We reiterate our

willingness to achieve a more balanced international financial architecture by participating in reforms of financial

regulations prudential frameworks and International Financial Institutions

We will maintain monetary and fiscal support while preparing for orderly unwinding of expansionary policies until

the recovery is on a finn footing We note that as market conditions and the economic outlook are improving we

need to reconsider the continued support of monetary and fiscal policies for sustained recovery and resumption of

private credit flows in our economies

We affirm the need to start working on mechanisms to reverse the fiscal and monetary stimulus and then phase out

these policy accommodations We are fully confident that at the appropriate time we will be able to do so

effectively to ensure sustained recovery and development We welcome the inaugural Informal East Asia Summit

(EAS) Finance Ministers Meeting in May 2010 in Tashkent Uzbekistan

2 Enhancing ASEAN Economic Integration

We re-affirm our resolve to realise the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) which will establish ASEAN as a

single market and production base by 2015 We task all the AEC Council Ministers and officials concerned to

ensure that the AEC Blueprint and the strategic schedules contained therein are implemented in a timely manner

We will enhance cooperation and dialogue with our Dialogue Partners especially in implementing fully the

agreements signed and addressing regional and global challenges

We will continue to reject protectionism re-affirm our commitment to refrain from raising new barriers to trade and

investment and keep our markets open We remain committed to the WTO Doha Development Agenda and look

forward to the early and successful conclusion of the Doha Round

We welcome the G-20 Leaders Statement made at the Pittsburgh Summit in September 2009 and the APEC

Leaders Declaration made in Singapore in November 2009 particularly on the importance of an ambitious and

2

balanced conclusion of the Doha Development Agenda the continued rejection of protectionism and delivering a

global stimulus package to sustain global economic recovery ASEAN strongly believes that it can contribute to the

deliberations of the G-20 through the continued participation of the ASEAN Chair and the ASEAN Se~retaryshy

General in future G-20 Summits

3 Fostering Infrastructure Development

We re-affirm the importance of regional infrastructure development and enhancing connectivity that will playa

crucial role in achieving sustainable global economic recovery through enhanced trade investment tourism and

development We announced the ASEAN Connectivity Initiative at our 15th ASEAN Summit in Thailand in October

2009 to focus our resources and efforts in deepening connectivity within ASEAN and its sub-regional groupings

and in the broader regional framework of East Asia In this regard we task the High Level Task Force on ASEAN

Connectivity to develop the Master Plan on ASEAN Connectivity with recommended measures targets and

tlrnelines-necessary to achieve ASEAN Connectivity for the consideration of the ASEAN Member States We take

note otseveral ASEAN Dialogue Partners interest in ASEAN Connectivity during the Post Ministerial Conferences

and Summits in 2009 and therefore encourage their support towards the full implementation of the Master Plan on

ASEAN Connectivity

We re-affirm the importance of mobilising the regions savings to finance the huge infrastructure needs in the

region In this regard weare encouraged by the progress made under the ASEAN Infrastructure Financing

Mechanism (AIFM) We urge Member States to continue to explore effective financing instruments and policies

including a possible ASEAN Infrastructure Fund for viable regional infrastructure investments

We agree to enhance efforts to pursue physical infrastructure development and the policy and institutional

development in transport ICT and energy sectors in facilitation of transport and logistics necessary to realise

effective connectivity which would reinforce ASEANs position as a hub of the East Asian regi6n for transport

information technology tourism energy and logistics We task the relevant Ministers particularly the ASEAN

as well as the implementation of the ASEAN Plan of Action for Energy Cooperation (APAEC) 2010-2015 by the

relevant ASEAN Ministers in 2010 to further enhance coherence in the regional connectivity agenda and the priority

measures for intraregional transport energy and information and communication linkages

We recognise that sub-regional cooperation arrangements such as the Brunei-lndonesia-Malaysia-Philippines

East ASEAN Growth Area (BIMP-EAGA) Indonesia-Malaysia-Thailand Growth Triangle (IMT-GT) Greater Mekong

Sub-Region (GMS) Cambodia - Laos - Viet Nam (CLV) Development Triangle and Ayeyawady - Chao Phrayashy

Mekong Economic Cooperation Strategy (ACMECS) are effective mechanisms to accelerate the implementation of

the regional initiatives In this regard we welcome the work that has been done by these sub-regions and look

forward to consolidating and prioritising existing work plans on connectivity into the Master Plan taking into

account related existing sub-regional cooperation frameworks We also look forward to the implementation of more

projects in the sub-regions to contribute to the narrowing of the development divide and enabling the sub-regions to

link with the rest of ASEAN region and beyond

understanding between the peoples especially at the grass roots level

This is key for ASEAN to move forward with a common vision and

aspiration while appreciating its political economic and socio-cultural

diversities Promoting ASEAN awareness through shared identity and

cultural heritage would be fundamentally important in building the

ASEAN Community

2 Education

At the First meeting of the ASCC Council in August 2009

the meeting highlighted the need to empower people through education

in order to successfully realize the ASEAN Community Education could

also support ASEAN Awareness and ASEAN Connectivity both in terms

of physical infrastructure as well as spiritual and cultural connectivity to

15th create the feeling of being an ASEAN citizen At the ASEAN

Summit in October 2009 ASEAN Leaders under the recommendation of

the ASCC Council endorsed the Cha-am Hua Hin Declaration on

Strengthening Cooperation on Education to Achieve an ASEAN Caring

and Sharing Community

ABEAN agreed to highlight and maximize the richness and

diversity of cultures through art heritage and cultural activities in the

region as well as through media cooperation and networking to promote

ASEAN awareness and identity In Thailand the ASEAN Association of

Thailand has been established to be the main vehicle to promote ASEAN

awareness the community building process as well as how ASEAN as an

organization could bring about greater benefit to the people in the region

In addition the ASEAN Education Ministers are in the

process of drawing up the ASEANs Five Year Work Plan on Education

which is aimed at enhancing education standards and promoting ASEAN

community

3 The Promotion and Protection of the Rights of Women and

Children

On the human rights front the ASCC Council in close

collaboration with the ASEAN Ministers Meeting on Social Welfare and

Development (AMMSWD) and the ASEAN Committee on Women

(ACW) successfully concluded the Term of Reference of the ASEAN

Commission on the Promotion and Protection of the Rights of Women

and Children (ACWC) which would be launched at the 16th ASEAN

Summit in Ha Noi Viet Nam The ASCC firmly believes that the ACWC

is an integral part that would complement the ASEAN Commission on

Human Rights (AICHR) on ensuring greater promotion and protection of

human rights in ASEAN

4 Other issues that affect livelihood and well-being of the people in

the region

The ASCC Council has also strived to move forward with

the issues that affect the livelihood and the well-being of the peoples in

the region through implementing the ASCC Blueprint which would serve

as the roadmap to realizing the people-centered ASEAN Community

They include joint responses and cooperation on natural disasters health

and infectious diseases environment the attainment of the Millennium

Development Goal (MDGs) poverty eradication and the social impact of

the global financial crisis as well as the ASEAN Connectivity These

have been reflected through various Leaders declarationsstatements at

the 14th and is ASEAN Summits

In addition there are plans to effectively address the

problems of poverty and health standards through the possible setting up

of funds or financing schemes to support livelihood and employment

projects

5 ASEAN Connectivity

As ASEAN Leaders have put ASEAN Connectivity at the

top of the agenda of ASEAN Community Building it is important not

only to enhance infrastructure linkages within the region but to put

human factor into the process of building an ASEAN Community Not

only would ASEAN Connectivity lead to enhanced infrastructure

networks but connectivity should incorporate better linkages and better

understanding across the whole spectrum of ASEAN peoples The first

High Level Task Force on ASEAN Connectivity was convened in March

2010 and agreed on the need to include promoting education and

ASEAN cultural understanding in the Master Plan for ASEAN

Connectivity The ASCC Council should forge ahead with the

community building process that would make ASEAN Community a

diverse and culturally rich people-centered and socially responsible

community while uplifting the well-being of the people in this region

ASEAN LEADERS STATEMENT ON SUSTAINED RECOVERY AND DEVELOPMENT

We the Heads of StateGovernment of the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) met in Ha Noi

Viet Nam on 8-9 April 2010 for the 16th ASEAN Summit We discussed the situation of the global economy

and were pleased to note that it is showing signs of recovery from the global financial and economic crisis

although this recovery is expected to be slow Nonetheless we believe that ASEANs inherent dynamism

will help the region sustain its recovery and attain higher economic growth

We are detennined for ASEAN to sustain its recovery in the aftermath of the global financial crisis and economic

downturn We therefore re-affirm our commitment towards regional integration and building the ASEAN

Commupity and re-affirm our willingness and readiness to participate in coordinated efforts towards sustained

global economic recovery as follows

1 Ensuring Financial Stability in ASEAN and Sustained Recovery

We will cooperate in restoring the health of financial systems and maintaining supportive macroeconomic

policies We will strengthen regional surveillance and economic monitoring capacities for an early detection of

macro-financial risks and vulnerabilities

We affirm our determination to enhance regional financial stability through such regional initiatives as the Chiangshy

Mai Initiative Multilateralisation (CMIM) and the Asian Bond Markets Initiative (ABMI) the Credit Guarantee

Investment Facility (CGIF) and the ongoing enhancement of the ASEAN Surveillance Office We reiterate our

willingness to achieve a more balanced international financial architecture by participating in reforms of financial

regulations prudential frameworks and International Financial Institutions

We will maintain monetary and fiscal support while preparing for orderly unwinding of expansionary policies until

the recovery is on a finn footing We note that as market conditions and the economic outlook are improving we

need to reconsider the continued support of monetary and fiscal policies for sustained recovery and resumption of

private credit flows in our economies

We affirm the need to start working on mechanisms to reverse the fiscal and monetary stimulus and then phase out

these policy accommodations We are fully confident that at the appropriate time we will be able to do so

effectively to ensure sustained recovery and development We welcome the inaugural Informal East Asia Summit

(EAS) Finance Ministers Meeting in May 2010 in Tashkent Uzbekistan

2 Enhancing ASEAN Economic Integration

We re-affirm our resolve to realise the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) which will establish ASEAN as a

single market and production base by 2015 We task all the AEC Council Ministers and officials concerned to

ensure that the AEC Blueprint and the strategic schedules contained therein are implemented in a timely manner

We will enhance cooperation and dialogue with our Dialogue Partners especially in implementing fully the

agreements signed and addressing regional and global challenges

We will continue to reject protectionism re-affirm our commitment to refrain from raising new barriers to trade and

investment and keep our markets open We remain committed to the WTO Doha Development Agenda and look

forward to the early and successful conclusion of the Doha Round

We welcome the G-20 Leaders Statement made at the Pittsburgh Summit in September 2009 and the APEC

Leaders Declaration made in Singapore in November 2009 particularly on the importance of an ambitious and

2

balanced conclusion of the Doha Development Agenda the continued rejection of protectionism and delivering a

global stimulus package to sustain global economic recovery ASEAN strongly believes that it can contribute to the

deliberations of the G-20 through the continued participation of the ASEAN Chair and the ASEAN Se~retaryshy

General in future G-20 Summits

3 Fostering Infrastructure Development

We re-affirm the importance of regional infrastructure development and enhancing connectivity that will playa

crucial role in achieving sustainable global economic recovery through enhanced trade investment tourism and

development We announced the ASEAN Connectivity Initiative at our 15th ASEAN Summit in Thailand in October

2009 to focus our resources and efforts in deepening connectivity within ASEAN and its sub-regional groupings

and in the broader regional framework of East Asia In this regard we task the High Level Task Force on ASEAN

Connectivity to develop the Master Plan on ASEAN Connectivity with recommended measures targets and

tlrnelines-necessary to achieve ASEAN Connectivity for the consideration of the ASEAN Member States We take

note otseveral ASEAN Dialogue Partners interest in ASEAN Connectivity during the Post Ministerial Conferences

and Summits in 2009 and therefore encourage their support towards the full implementation of the Master Plan on

ASEAN Connectivity

We re-affirm the importance of mobilising the regions savings to finance the huge infrastructure needs in the

region In this regard weare encouraged by the progress made under the ASEAN Infrastructure Financing

Mechanism (AIFM) We urge Member States to continue to explore effective financing instruments and policies

including a possible ASEAN Infrastructure Fund for viable regional infrastructure investments

We agree to enhance efforts to pursue physical infrastructure development and the policy and institutional

development in transport ICT and energy sectors in facilitation of transport and logistics necessary to realise

effective connectivity which would reinforce ASEANs position as a hub of the East Asian regi6n for transport

information technology tourism energy and logistics We task the relevant Ministers particularly the ASEAN

as well as the implementation of the ASEAN Plan of Action for Energy Cooperation (APAEC) 2010-2015 by the

relevant ASEAN Ministers in 2010 to further enhance coherence in the regional connectivity agenda and the priority

measures for intraregional transport energy and information and communication linkages

We recognise that sub-regional cooperation arrangements such as the Brunei-lndonesia-Malaysia-Philippines

East ASEAN Growth Area (BIMP-EAGA) Indonesia-Malaysia-Thailand Growth Triangle (IMT-GT) Greater Mekong

Sub-Region (GMS) Cambodia - Laos - Viet Nam (CLV) Development Triangle and Ayeyawady - Chao Phrayashy

Mekong Economic Cooperation Strategy (ACMECS) are effective mechanisms to accelerate the implementation of

the regional initiatives In this regard we welcome the work that has been done by these sub-regions and look

forward to consolidating and prioritising existing work plans on connectivity into the Master Plan taking into

account related existing sub-regional cooperation frameworks We also look forward to the implementation of more

projects in the sub-regions to contribute to the narrowing of the development divide and enabling the sub-regions to

link with the rest of ASEAN region and beyond

creativity innovation and protection of intellectual property rights We believe that the creative economy which

draws on ASEANs rich cultural heritage combined with creative inputs from people in ASEAN will add substantial

value to its goods and services and will help promote sustainable growth in the region

aspiration while appreciating its political economic and socio-cultural

diversities Promoting ASEAN awareness through shared identity and

cultural heritage would be fundamentally important in building the

ASEAN Community

2 Education

At the First meeting of the ASCC Council in August 2009

the meeting highlighted the need to empower people through education

in order to successfully realize the ASEAN Community Education could

also support ASEAN Awareness and ASEAN Connectivity both in terms

of physical infrastructure as well as spiritual and cultural connectivity to

Summit in October 2009 ASEAN Leaders under the recommendation of

the ASCC Council endorsed the Cha-am Hua Hin Declaration on

Strengthening Cooperation on Education to Achieve an ASEAN Caring

and Sharing Community

ABEAN agreed to highlight and maximize the richness and

diversity of cultures through art heritage and cultural activities in the

region as well as through media cooperation and networking to promote

ASEAN awareness and identity In Thailand the ASEAN Association of

Thailand has been established to be the main vehicle to promote ASEAN

awareness the community building process as well as how ASEAN as an

organization could bring about greater benefit to the people in the region

In addition the ASEAN Education Ministers are in the

process of drawing up the ASEANs Five Year Work Plan on Education

which is aimed at enhancing education standards and promoting ASEAN

community

3 The Promotion and Protection of the Rights of Women and

Children

On the human rights front the ASCC Council in close

collaboration with the ASEAN Ministers Meeting on Social Welfare and

Development (AMMSWD) and the ASEAN Committee on Women

(ACW) successfully concluded the Term of Reference of the ASEAN

Commission on the Promotion and Protection of the Rights of Women

and Children (ACWC) which would be launched at the 16th ASEAN

Summit in Ha Noi Viet Nam The ASCC firmly believes that the ACWC

is an integral part that would complement the ASEAN Commission on

Human Rights (AICHR) on ensuring greater promotion and protection of

human rights in ASEAN

4 Other issues that affect livelihood and well-being of the people in

the region

The ASCC Council has also strived to move forward with

the issues that affect the livelihood and the well-being of the peoples in

the region through implementing the ASCC Blueprint which would serve

as the roadmap to realizing the people-centered ASEAN Community

They include joint responses and cooperation on natural disasters health

and infectious diseases environment the attainment of the Millennium

Development Goal (MDGs) poverty eradication and the social impact of

the global financial crisis as well as the ASEAN Connectivity These

have been reflected through various Leaders declarationsstatements at

the 14th and is ASEAN Summits

In addition there are plans to effectively address the

problems of poverty and health standards through the possible setting up

of funds or financing schemes to support livelihood and employment

projects

5 ASEAN Connectivity

As ASEAN Leaders have put ASEAN Connectivity at the

top of the agenda of ASEAN Community Building it is important not

only to enhance infrastructure linkages within the region but to put

human factor into the process of building an ASEAN Community Not

only would ASEAN Connectivity lead to enhanced infrastructure

networks but connectivity should incorporate better linkages and better

understanding across the whole spectrum of ASEAN peoples The first

High Level Task Force on ASEAN Connectivity was convened in March

2010 and agreed on the need to include promoting education and

ASEAN cultural understanding in the Master Plan for ASEAN

Connectivity The ASCC Council should forge ahead with the

community building process that would make ASEAN Community a

diverse and culturally rich people-centered and socially responsible

community while uplifting the well-being of the people in this region

ASEAN LEADERS STATEMENT ON SUSTAINED RECOVERY AND DEVELOPMENT

We the Heads of StateGovernment of the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) met in Ha Noi

Viet Nam on 8-9 April 2010 for the 16th ASEAN Summit We discussed the situation of the global economy

and were pleased to note that it is showing signs of recovery from the global financial and economic crisis

although this recovery is expected to be slow Nonetheless we believe that ASEANs inherent dynamism

will help the region sustain its recovery and attain higher economic growth

We are detennined for ASEAN to sustain its recovery in the aftermath of the global financial crisis and economic

downturn We therefore re-affirm our commitment towards regional integration and building the ASEAN

Commupity and re-affirm our willingness and readiness to participate in coordinated efforts towards sustained

global economic recovery as follows

1 Ensuring Financial Stability in ASEAN and Sustained Recovery

We will cooperate in restoring the health of financial systems and maintaining supportive macroeconomic

policies We will strengthen regional surveillance and economic monitoring capacities for an early detection of

macro-financial risks and vulnerabilities

Investment Facility (CGIF) and the ongoing enhancement of the ASEAN Surveillance Office We reiterate our

willingness to achieve a more balanced international financial architecture by participating in reforms of financial

regulations prudential frameworks and International Financial Institutions

We will maintain monetary and fiscal support while preparing for orderly unwinding of expansionary policies until

the recovery is on a finn footing We note that as market conditions and the economic outlook are improving we

need to reconsider the continued support of monetary and fiscal policies for sustained recovery and resumption of

private credit flows in our economies

We affirm the need to start working on mechanisms to reverse the fiscal and monetary stimulus and then phase out

these policy accommodations We are fully confident that at the appropriate time we will be able to do so

effectively to ensure sustained recovery and development We welcome the inaugural Informal East Asia Summit

(EAS) Finance Ministers Meeting in May 2010 in Tashkent Uzbekistan

2 Enhancing ASEAN Economic Integration

We re-affirm our resolve to realise the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) which will establish ASEAN as a

single market and production base by 2015 We task all the AEC Council Ministers and officials concerned to

ensure that the AEC Blueprint and the strategic schedules contained therein are implemented in a timely manner

We will enhance cooperation and dialogue with our Dialogue Partners especially in implementing fully the

agreements signed and addressing regional and global challenges

We will continue to reject protectionism re-affirm our commitment to refrain from raising new barriers to trade and

investment and keep our markets open We remain committed to the WTO Doha Development Agenda and look

forward to the early and successful conclusion of the Doha Round

Leaders Declaration made in Singapore in November 2009 particularly on the importance of an ambitious and

2

balanced conclusion of the Doha Development Agenda the continued rejection of protectionism and delivering a

global stimulus package to sustain global economic recovery ASEAN strongly believes that it can contribute to the

deliberations of the G-20 through the continued participation of the ASEAN Chair and the ASEAN Se~retaryshy

General in future G-20 Summits

3 Fostering Infrastructure Development

We re-affirm the importance of regional infrastructure development and enhancing connectivity that will playa

crucial role in achieving sustainable global economic recovery through enhanced trade investment tourism and

development We announced the ASEAN Connectivity Initiative at our 15th ASEAN Summit in Thailand in October

and in the broader regional framework of East Asia In this regard we task the High Level Task Force on ASEAN

Connectivity to develop the Master Plan on ASEAN Connectivity with recommended measures targets and

tlrnelines-necessary to achieve ASEAN Connectivity for the consideration of the ASEAN Member States We take

note otseveral ASEAN Dialogue Partners interest in ASEAN Connectivity during the Post Ministerial Conferences

and Summits in 2009 and therefore encourage their support towards the full implementation of the Master Plan on

ASEAN Connectivity

We re-affirm the importance of mobilising the regions savings to finance the huge infrastructure needs in the

region In this regard weare encouraged by the progress made under the ASEAN Infrastructure Financing

Mechanism (AIFM) We urge Member States to continue to explore effective financing instruments and policies

including a possible ASEAN Infrastructure Fund for viable regional infrastructure investments

We agree to enhance efforts to pursue physical infrastructure development and the policy and institutional

development in transport ICT and energy sectors in facilitation of transport and logistics necessary to realise

effective connectivity which would reinforce ASEANs position as a hub of the East Asian regi6n for transport

relevant ASEAN Ministers in 2010 to further enhance coherence in the regional connectivity agenda and the priority

measures for intraregional transport energy and information and communication linkages

We recognise that sub-regional cooperation arrangements such as the Brunei-lndonesia-Malaysia-Philippines

East ASEAN Growth Area (BIMP-EAGA) Indonesia-Malaysia-Thailand Growth Triangle (IMT-GT) Greater Mekong

Sub-Region (GMS) Cambodia - Laos - Viet Nam (CLV) Development Triangle and Ayeyawady - Chao Phrayashy

Mekong Economic Cooperation Strategy (ACMECS) are effective mechanisms to accelerate the implementation of

the regional initiatives In this regard we welcome the work that has been done by these sub-regions and look

forward to consolidating and prioritising existing work plans on connectivity into the Master Plan taking into

account related existing sub-regional cooperation frameworks We also look forward to the implementation of more

projects in the sub-regions to contribute to the narrowing of the development divide and enabling the sub-regions to

link with the rest of ASEAN region and beyond

The ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community Council

2009-2010

Introduction

After the ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community (ASCC)

14th Blueprint was approved by the ASEAN Leaders at the ASEAN

Summit in Clia-am Hua Hin Thailand in March 2009 the Socio-Cultural

Community Council (ASCC Council) convened its first meeting on 24 )f

August 2009 and the second meeting on 22 October 2009 Both the

meetings were chaired by HE Mr Kasit Piromya Minister of Foreign

Affairs of Thailand in his capacity as the Chair of ASCC

The First and the Second ASCC Council Meetings have

identified some priorities under the ASCC Blueprint as followsshy

1 ASEAN Awareness and Community Building

With people at its heart and their participation as the basis of

creating a Community of and for the peoples the First ASCC Council

Meeting identified the need to cultivate better historical and cultural

understanding between the peoples especially at the grass roots level

This is key for ASEAN to move forward with a common vision and

aspiration while appreciating its political economic and socio-cultural

diversities Promoting ASEAN awareness through shared identity and

cultural heritage would be fundamentally important in building the

ASEAN Community

2 Education

At the First meeting of the ASCC Council in August 2009

the meeting highlighted the need to empower people through education

in order to successfully realize the ASEAN Community Education could

also support ASEAN Awareness and ASEAN Connectivity both in terms

of physical infrastructure as well as spiritual and cultural connectivity to

15th create the feeling of being an ASEAN citizen At the ASEAN

Summit in October 2009 ASEAN Leaders under the recommendation of

the ASCC Council endorsed the Cha-am Hua Hin Declaration on

Strengthening Cooperation on Education to Achieve an ASEAN Caring

and Sharing Community

ABEAN agreed to highlight and maximize the richness and

diversity of cultures through art heritage and cultural activities in the

region as well as through media cooperation and networking to promote

ASEAN awareness and identity In Thailand the ASEAN Association of

Thailand has been established to be the main vehicle to promote ASEAN

awareness the community building process as well as how ASEAN as an

organization could bring about greater benefit to the people in the region

In addition the ASEAN Education Ministers are in the

process of drawing up the ASEANs Five Year Work Plan on Education

which is aimed at enhancing education standards and promoting ASEAN

community

3 The Promotion and Protection of the Rights of Women and

Children

On the human rights front the ASCC Council in close

collaboration with the ASEAN Ministers Meeting on Social Welfare and

Development (AMMSWD) and the ASEAN Committee on Women

(ACW) successfully concluded the Term of Reference of the ASEAN

Commission on the Promotion and Protection of the Rights of Women

and Children (ACWC) which would be launched at the 16th ASEAN

Summit in Ha Noi Viet Nam The ASCC firmly believes that the ACWC

is an integral part that would complement the ASEAN Commission on

Human Rights (AICHR) on ensuring greater promotion and protection of

human rights in ASEAN

4 Other issues that affect livelihood and well-being of the people in

the region

The ASCC Council has also strived to move forward with

the issues that affect the livelihood and the well-being of the peoples in

the region through implementing the ASCC Blueprint which would serve

as the roadmap to realizing the people-centered ASEAN Community

They include joint responses and cooperation on natural disasters health

and infectious diseases environment the attainment of the Millennium

Development Goal (MDGs) poverty eradication and the social impact of

the global financial crisis as well as the ASEAN Connectivity These

have been reflected through various Leaders declarationsstatements at

the 14th and is ASEAN Summits

In addition there are plans to effectively address the

problems of poverty and health standards through the possible setting up

of funds or financing schemes to support livelihood and employment

projects

5 ASEAN Connectivity

As ASEAN Leaders have put ASEAN Connectivity at the

top of the agenda of ASEAN Community Building it is important not

only to enhance infrastructure linkages within the region but to put

human factor into the process of building an ASEAN Community Not

only would ASEAN Connectivity lead to enhanced infrastructure

networks but connectivity should incorporate better linkages and better

understanding across the whole spectrum of ASEAN peoples The first

High Level Task Force on ASEAN Connectivity was convened in March

ASEAN LEADERS STATEMENT ON SUSTAINED RECOVERY AND DEVELOPMENT

We the Heads of StateGovernment of the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) met in Ha Noi

Viet Nam on 8-9 April 2010 for the 16th ASEAN Summit We discussed the situation of the global economy

and were pleased to note that it is showing signs of recovery from the global financial and economic crisis

although this recovery is expected to be slow Nonetheless we believe that ASEANs inherent dynamism

will help the region sustain its recovery and attain higher economic growth

We are detennined for ASEAN to sustain its recovery in the aftermath of the global financial crisis and economic

downturn We therefore re-affirm our commitment towards regional integration and building the ASEAN

Commupity and re-affirm our willingness and readiness to participate in coordinated efforts towards sustained

global economic recovery as follows

1 Ensuring Financial Stability in ASEAN and Sustained Recovery

We will cooperate in restoring the health of financial systems and maintaining supportive macroeconomic

policies We will strengthen regional surveillance and economic monitoring capacities for an early detection of

macro-financial risks and vulnerabilities

We affirm our determination to enhance regional financial stability through such regional initiatives as the Chiangshy

Mai Initiative Multilateralisation (CMIM) and the Asian Bond Markets Initiative (ABMI) the Credit Guarantee

Investment Facility (CGIF) and the ongoing enhancement of the ASEAN Surveillance Office We reiterate our

willingness to achieve a more balanced international financial architecture by participating in reforms of financial

regulations prudential frameworks and International Financial Institutions

We will maintain monetary and fiscal support while preparing for orderly unwinding of expansionary policies until

the recovery is on a finn footing We note that as market conditions and the economic outlook are improving we

need to reconsider the continued support of monetary and fiscal policies for sustained recovery and resumption of

private credit flows in our economies

We affirm the need to start working on mechanisms to reverse the fiscal and monetary stimulus and then phase out

these policy accommodations We are fully confident that at the appropriate time we will be able to do so

effectively to ensure sustained recovery and development We welcome the inaugural Informal East Asia Summit

(EAS) Finance Ministers Meeting in May 2010 in Tashkent Uzbekistan

2 Enhancing ASEAN Economic Integration

We re-affirm our resolve to realise the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) which will establish ASEAN as a

single market and production base by 2015 We task all the AEC Council Ministers and officials concerned to

ensure that the AEC Blueprint and the strategic schedules contained therein are implemented in a timely manner

We will enhance cooperation and dialogue with our Dialogue Partners especially in implementing fully the

agreements signed and addressing regional and global challenges

We will continue to reject protectionism re-affirm our commitment to refrain from raising new barriers to trade and

investment and keep our markets open We remain committed to the WTO Doha Development Agenda and look

forward to the early and successful conclusion of the Doha Round

We welcome the G-20 Leaders Statement made at the Pittsburgh Summit in September 2009 and the APEC

Leaders Declaration made in Singapore in November 2009 particularly on the importance of an ambitious and

2

global stimulus package to sustain global economic recovery ASEAN strongly believes that it can contribute to the

deliberations of the G-20 through the continued participation of the ASEAN Chair and the ASEAN Se~retaryshy

General in future G-20 Summits

3 Fostering Infrastructure Development

Sub-Region (GMS) Cambodia - Laos - Viet Nam (CLV) Development Triangle and Ayeyawady - Chao Phrayashy

The ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community Council

2009-2010

Introduction

After the ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community (ASCC)

14th Blueprint was approved by the ASEAN Leaders at the ASEAN

Summit in Clia-am Hua Hin Thailand in March 2009 the Socio-Cultural

Community Council (ASCC Council) convened its first meeting on 24 )f

August 2009 and the second meeting on 22 October 2009 Both the

meetings were chaired by HE Mr Kasit Piromya Minister of Foreign

Affairs of Thailand in his capacity as the Chair of ASCC

The First and the Second ASCC Council Meetings have

identified some priorities under the ASCC Blueprint as followsshy

1 ASEAN Awareness and Community Building

With people at its heart and their participation as the basis of

creating a Community of and for the peoples the First ASCC Council

Meeting identified the need to cultivate better historical and cultural

understanding between the peoples especially at the grass roots level

This is key for ASEAN to move forward with a common vision and

aspiration while appreciating its political economic and socio-cultural

diversities Promoting ASEAN awareness through shared identity and

cultural heritage would be fundamentally important in building the

ASEAN Community

2 Education

At the First meeting of the ASCC Council in August 2009

the meeting highlighted the need to empower people through education

in order to successfully realize the ASEAN Community Education could

also support ASEAN Awareness and ASEAN Connectivity both in terms

of physical infrastructure as well as spiritual and cultural connectivity to

15th create the feeling of being an ASEAN citizen At the ASEAN

Summit in October 2009 ASEAN Leaders under the recommendation of

the ASCC Council endorsed the Cha-am Hua Hin Declaration on

Strengthening Cooperation on Education to Achieve an ASEAN Caring

and Sharing Community

ABEAN agreed to highlight and maximize the richness and

diversity of cultures through art heritage and cultural activities in the

region as well as through media cooperation and networking to promote

ASEAN awareness and identity In Thailand the ASEAN Association of

Thailand has been established to be the main vehicle to promote ASEAN

awareness the community building process as well as how ASEAN as an

organization could bring about greater benefit to the people in the region

In addition the ASEAN Education Ministers are in the

process of drawing up the ASEANs Five Year Work Plan on Education

which is aimed at enhancing education standards and promoting ASEAN

community

3 The Promotion and Protection of the Rights of Women and

Children

On the human rights front the ASCC Council in close

collaboration with the ASEAN Ministers Meeting on Social Welfare and

Development (AMMSWD) and the ASEAN Committee on Women

(ACW) successfully concluded the Term of Reference of the ASEAN

Commission on the Promotion and Protection of the Rights of Women

and Children (ACWC) which would be launched at the 16th ASEAN

Summit in Ha Noi Viet Nam The ASCC firmly believes that the ACWC

is an integral part that would complement the ASEAN Commission on

Human Rights (AICHR) on ensuring greater promotion and protection of

human rights in ASEAN

4 Other issues that affect livelihood and well-being of the people in

the region

The ASCC Council has also strived to move forward with

the issues that affect the livelihood and the well-being of the peoples in

the region through implementing the ASCC Blueprint which would serve

as the roadmap to realizing the people-centered ASEAN Community

They include joint responses and cooperation on natural disasters health

and infectious diseases environment the attainment of the Millennium

Development Goal (MDGs) poverty eradication and the social impact of

the global financial crisis as well as the ASEAN Connectivity These

have been reflected through various Leaders declarationsstatements at

the 14th and is ASEAN Summits

In addition there are plans to effectively address the

problems of poverty and health standards through the possible setting up

of funds or financing schemes to support livelihood and employment

projects

5 ASEAN Connectivity

As ASEAN Leaders have put ASEAN Connectivity at the

top of the agenda of ASEAN Community Building it is important not

only to enhance infrastructure linkages within the region but to put

human factor into the process of building an ASEAN Community Not

only would ASEAN Connectivity lead to enhanced infrastructure

networks but connectivity should incorporate better linkages and better

understanding across the whole spectrum of ASEAN peoples The first

High Level Task Force on ASEAN Connectivity was convened in March

2010 and agreed on the need to include promoting education and

ASEAN cultural understanding in the Master Plan for ASEAN

Connectivity The ASCC Council should forge ahead with the

community building process that would make ASEAN Community a

diverse and culturally rich people-centered and socially responsible

community while uplifting the well-being of the people in this region

2

balanced conclusion of the Doha Development Agenda the continued rejection of protectionism and delivering a

global stimulus package to sustain global economic recovery ASEAN strongly believes that it can contribute to the

deliberations of the G-20 through the continued participation of the ASEAN Chair and the ASEAN Se~retaryshy

General in future G-20 Summits

The ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community Council

2009-2010

Introduction

After the ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community (ASCC)

14th Blueprint was approved by the ASEAN Leaders at the ASEAN

Summit in Clia-am Hua Hin Thailand in March 2009 the Socio-Cultural

Community Council (ASCC Council) convened its first meeting on 24 )f

August 2009 and the second meeting on 22 October 2009 Both the

meetings were chaired by HE Mr Kasit Piromya Minister of Foreign

Affairs of Thailand in his capacity as the Chair of ASCC

The First and the Second ASCC Council Meetings have

identified some priorities under the ASCC Blueprint as followsshy

1 ASEAN Awareness and Community Building

With people at its heart and their participation as the basis of

creating a Community of and for the peoples the First ASCC Council

Meeting identified the need to cultivate better historical and cultural

understanding between the peoples especially at the grass roots level

This is key for ASEAN to move forward with a common vision and

aspiration while appreciating its political economic and socio-cultural

diversities Promoting ASEAN awareness through shared identity and

cultural heritage would be fundamentally important in building the

ASEAN Community

2 Education

At the First meeting of the ASCC Council in August 2009

the meeting highlighted the need to empower people through education

in order to successfully realize the ASEAN Community Education could

also support ASEAN Awareness and ASEAN Connectivity both in terms

of physical infrastructure as well as spiritual and cultural connectivity to

15th create the feeling of being an ASEAN citizen At the ASEAN

Summit in October 2009 ASEAN Leaders under the recommendation of

the ASCC Council endorsed the Cha-am Hua Hin Declaration on

Strengthening Cooperation on Education to Achieve an ASEAN Caring

and Sharing Community

ABEAN agreed to highlight and maximize the richness and

diversity of cultures through art heritage and cultural activities in the

region as well as through media cooperation and networking to promote

ASEAN awareness and identity In Thailand the ASEAN Association of

Thailand has been established to be the main vehicle to promote ASEAN

awareness the community building process as well as how ASEAN as an

organization could bring about greater benefit to the people in the region

In addition the ASEAN Education Ministers are in the

process of drawing up the ASEANs Five Year Work Plan on Education

which is aimed at enhancing education standards and promoting ASEAN

community

3 The Promotion and Protection of the Rights of Women and

Children

On the human rights front the ASCC Council in close

collaboration with the ASEAN Ministers Meeting on Social Welfare and

Development (AMMSWD) and the ASEAN Committee on Women

(ACW) successfully concluded the Term of Reference of the ASEAN

Commission on the Promotion and Protection of the Rights of Women

and Children (ACWC) which would be launched at the 16th ASEAN

Summit in Ha Noi Viet Nam The ASCC firmly believes that the ACWC

is an integral part that would complement the ASEAN Commission on

Human Rights (AICHR) on ensuring greater promotion and protection of

human rights in ASEAN

4 Other issues that affect livelihood and well-being of the people in

the region

The ASCC Council has also strived to move forward with

the issues that affect the livelihood and the well-being of the peoples in

the region through implementing the ASCC Blueprint which would serve

as the roadmap to realizing the people-centered ASEAN Community

They include joint responses and cooperation on natural disasters health

and infectious diseases environment the attainment of the Millennium

Development Goal (MDGs) poverty eradication and the social impact of

the global financial crisis as well as the ASEAN Connectivity These

have been reflected through various Leaders declarationsstatements at

the 14th and is ASEAN Summits

In addition there are plans to effectively address the

problems of poverty and health standards through the possible setting up

of funds or financing schemes to support livelihood and employment

projects

5 ASEAN Connectivity

As ASEAN Leaders have put ASEAN Connectivity at the

top of the agenda of ASEAN Community Building it is important not

only to enhance infrastructure linkages within the region but to put

human factor into the process of building an ASEAN Community Not

only would ASEAN Connectivity lead to enhanced infrastructure

networks but connectivity should incorporate better linkages and better

understanding across the whole spectrum of ASEAN peoples The first

High Level Task Force on ASEAN Connectivity was convened in March

2010 and agreed on the need to include promoting education and

ASEAN cultural understanding in the Master Plan for ASEAN

Connectivity The ASCC Council should forge ahead with the

community building process that would make ASEAN Community a

diverse and culturally rich people-centered and socially responsible

community while uplifting the well-being of the people in this region

The ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community Council

2009-2010

Introduction

After the ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community (ASCC)

14th Blueprint was approved by the ASEAN Leaders at the ASEAN

Summit in Clia-am Hua Hin Thailand in March 2009 the Socio-Cultural

Community Council (ASCC Council) convened its first meeting on 24 )f

August 2009 and the second meeting on 22 October 2009 Both the

meetings were chaired by HE Mr Kasit Piromya Minister of Foreign

Affairs of Thailand in his capacity as the Chair of ASCC

The First and the Second ASCC Council Meetings have

identified some priorities under the ASCC Blueprint as followsshy

1 ASEAN Awareness and Community Building

With people at its heart and their participation as the basis of

creating a Community of and for the peoples the First ASCC Council

Meeting identified the need to cultivate better historical and cultural

understanding between the peoples especially at the grass roots level

This is key for ASEAN to move forward with a common vision and

aspiration while appreciating its political economic and socio-cultural

diversities Promoting ASEAN awareness through shared identity and

cultural heritage would be fundamentally important in building the

ASEAN Community

2 Education

At the First meeting of the ASCC Council in August 2009

the meeting highlighted the need to empower people through education

in order to successfully realize the ASEAN Community Education could

also support ASEAN Awareness and ASEAN Connectivity both in terms

of physical infrastructure as well as spiritual and cultural connectivity to

15th create the feeling of being an ASEAN citizen At the ASEAN

Summit in October 2009 ASEAN Leaders under the recommendation of

the ASCC Council endorsed the Cha-am Hua Hin Declaration on

Strengthening Cooperation on Education to Achieve an ASEAN Caring

and Sharing Community

ABEAN agreed to highlight and maximize the richness and

diversity of cultures through art heritage and cultural activities in the

region as well as through media cooperation and networking to promote

ASEAN awareness and identity In Thailand the ASEAN Association of

Thailand has been established to be the main vehicle to promote ASEAN

awareness the community building process as well as how ASEAN as an

organization could bring about greater benefit to the people in the region

In addition the ASEAN Education Ministers are in the

process of drawing up the ASEANs Five Year Work Plan on Education

which is aimed at enhancing education standards and promoting ASEAN

community

3 The Promotion and Protection of the Rights of Women and

Children

On the human rights front the ASCC Council in close

collaboration with the ASEAN Ministers Meeting on Social Welfare and

Development (AMMSWD) and the ASEAN Committee on Women

(ACW) successfully concluded the Term of Reference of the ASEAN

Commission on the Promotion and Protection of the Rights of Women

and Children (ACWC) which would be launched at the 16th ASEAN

Summit in Ha Noi Viet Nam The ASCC firmly believes that the ACWC

is an integral part that would complement the ASEAN Commission on

Human Rights (AICHR) on ensuring greater promotion and protection of

human rights in ASEAN

4 Other issues that affect livelihood and well-being of the people in

the region

The ASCC Council has also strived to move forward with

the issues that affect the livelihood and the well-being of the peoples in

the region through implementing the ASCC Blueprint which would serve

as the roadmap to realizing the people-centered ASEAN Community

They include joint responses and cooperation on natural disasters health

and infectious diseases environment the attainment of the Millennium

Development Goal (MDGs) poverty eradication and the social impact of

the global financial crisis as well as the ASEAN Connectivity These

have been reflected through various Leaders declarationsstatements at

the 14th and is ASEAN Summits

In addition there are plans to effectively address the

problems of poverty and health standards through the possible setting up

of funds or financing schemes to support livelihood and employment

projects

5 ASEAN Connectivity

As ASEAN Leaders have put ASEAN Connectivity at the

top of the agenda of ASEAN Community Building it is important not

only to enhance infrastructure linkages within the region but to put

human factor into the process of building an ASEAN Community Not

only would ASEAN Connectivity lead to enhanced infrastructure

networks but connectivity should incorporate better linkages and better

understanding across the whole spectrum of ASEAN peoples The first

High Level Task Force on ASEAN Connectivity was convened in March

2010 and agreed on the need to include promoting education and

ASEAN cultural understanding in the Master Plan for ASEAN

Connectivity The ASCC Council should forge ahead with the

community building process that would make ASEAN Community a

diverse and culturally rich people-centered and socially responsible

community while uplifting the well-being of the people in this region

6 Enhancing Educational Cooperation

We recall the Cha-am Hua Hin Declaration on Strengthening Cooperation on Education to Achieve all ASEAN

Caring and Sharing Community and reiterate our conviction on the core role of education to sustainable

development and regional competitiveness We will allocate substantial amount of resources for the promotion and

enhancement of educational cooperation in the region Recognising that the countrys human resource is its best

asset we pledge to continuously support and carry out human resource development initiatives in accordance with

the requirements of our domestic and global labour market

7 Intensifying Dialogues with Private Sector

We believe that an effective public-private sector engagement would be mutually reinforcing Towards this end we

will foster a more active and efficient participation of the private sector in the realisation of ASEAN Community

especlally the ASEAN Economic Community in ensuring ASEAN sustained recovery

We renew our commitment to support and develop small and medium enterprises for them to gain better access to

regional and global markets and for them to also benefit from ASEAN integration in order to address the

development divide and accelerate the economic integration

We recognise the importance of capacity-building programmes for ASEANs small and medium enterprises to

assist in the development of export-oriented industries

8 Narrowing Development Gap in ASEAN

We are confident that the Initiative for ASEAN Integration (IAI) has supported and will continue to support the

narrowing of the development gap within ASEAN We call on relevant sectors to promote the ifnplementation of

this Initiative in particular the Second Work Plan of the IAI We acknowledge the contribution of the ASEAN-6 in

providing technical assistance and capacity-building measures to address the needs of the CLMV countries We

encourage the continued contribution of our dialogue and development partners to the IAI in the implementation of

the Second IAI Work Plan

Adopted in Ha Noi Viet Nam this 9 of April in the Year Two Thousand and Ten
