Myanmar Cambodia: Member Governments and Countries Indonesia

myanmar cambodia: Between 1984 and 1999, five other nations Brunei, Vietnam, Laos, Myanmar and Cambodia joined to make it an association of 10 states, according to The Japan Times. It may be recalled that following the turn of the century, ASEAN, with strong support from Japan, set for itself the goal of becoming an ASEAN Community by 2015, a program that was launched with three specific pillars political-security, economic and social-cultural and promised a comprehensive umbrella of functions. This regional grouping came into being with a membership of five countries Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore and Thailand. The member governments have all agreed on a road map that promises to take them to their common destination. ASEAN's success was the story of leaving behind mutual suspicion, venturing into a wilderness and creating a new promising future for its citizens. ASEAN has always been a divided, sprawling culture, but for most of the past 50 years, it was held together by a unifying story of accelerated economic growth, social progress and cultural development to provide regional peace and stability.
