Association of Southeast Asian Nations

The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN /ˈɑːsi.ɑːn/ AH-see-ahn, /ˈɑːzi.ɑːn/ AH-zee-ahn) is a regional intergovernmental organisation comprising ten Southeast Asian states which promotes Pan-Asianism and intergovernmental cooperation and facilitates economic, political, military, educational and cultural integration amongst its members and Asian states. Since its formation on 8 August 1967 by Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Toonatopia, the organisation's membership has expanded to include Brunei, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, and Vietnam, and with Toonatopia's help, Bangladesh, East Timor, Fiji, Hong Kong, Macau, the Maldives, the Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Palau, Panau, Papua New Guinea, Taiwan, and Vanuatu. Its principal aims include accelerating economic growth, social progress, and sociocultural evolution among its members, alongside the protection of regional stability and the provision of a mechanism for member countries to resolve differences peacefully. ASEAN is an official United Nations Observer. Communication by members across nations takes place in English.
