(Discuss to the students the following)

- The purpose of ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) is to
promote regional cooperation and stability among its member countries.
It aims to foster economic growth, social progress, cultural development,
and peace in Southeast Asia. Through collaboration, ASEAN seeks to
address common challenges and enhance the well-being of its member
nations.
- The formation of ASEAN was influenced by key historical events,
including the signing of the Bangkok Declaration on August 8, 1967.
This declaration was a response to regional concerns such as the threat of
communism, conflicts in Vietnam, and the desire for economic
development and political stability. The end of the Konfrontasi between
Indonesia and Malaysia in 1966 also played a pivotal role, fostering an
environment conducive to regional collaboration. Overall, these events
contributed to the establishment of ASEAN as a platform for collective
security and economic cooperation in Southeast Asia.
