See Association of Southeast Asian Nations. Association of Southeast Asian Nations An economic and political alliance of sovereign states in southeastern Asia. It was established in 1967; its members are Brunei, Burma, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam. ASEAN promotes regional cooperation on cultural and political levels, and it provides a forum for the peaceful resolution of disputes. Perhaps most important is ASEAN's work in regional integration. For example, it operates the ASEAN Free Trade Area and encourages members to invest in each other with as few restrictions as possible. It has also concluded common free trade agreements with a number of non-member countries, including Japan and Australia. How to thank TFD for its existence?

Tokyo, Japan, Nov 29, 2006 - (JCN Newswire) - JETRO's monthly survey of Japanese companies and affiliates operating in 12 countries/regions of East Asia revealed that sentiment in the ASEAN region continued on an upward trend (that started last month) in November while declining slightly in China and North Asia. Contrary to its previous reluctance to pursue regional multilateralism during the Cold War, Japan turned into a central player for establishing the first two mega regional institutions in Asia, the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum and the ASEAN Regional Forum (ARF), and maintained its activism in subsequent institution-building projects, such as ASEAN plus Three (APT) and the East Asian Community (EAC) proposal. The new company, located near Bangkok, will provide support to customers in ASEAN countries in particular, such as Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia and Malaysia, and is due to start operating at the beginning of 2007. |
