ASEAN conference promotes cooperation in security, politics
The 7th Coordinating
Conference for the ASEAN Political-Security Community (ASCCO) took place
in Jakarta, Indonesia on August 20 under the chair of Deputy
Secretary-General of ASEAN for the ASEAN Political-Security Community
(APSC) Nyan Lynn.
The conference reviewed the implementation
of APSC’s blueprint, which aims to ensure that all activities are
responsive to the needs and priorities of ASEAN, basing on dynamic
changes in the region and the world.
The review is particular
important as there are only two more years to go until ASEAN is to
complete its target to establish an ASEAN Community by 2015.
Nyan Lynn said that ASEAN Secretary General Le Luong Minh will report
proposals made at the conference to leaders of the group’s member
nations at the ASEAN Summit scheduled for October in Brunei.-VNA
