In a musical score, the time signature appears at the beginning of the piece, as a time symbol or stacked numerals (such as or 3
4) (read "common time" and "three four time", respectively) immediately following the key signature (or immediately following the clef if the piece is in C major, A minor, or a modal subset). A mid-score time signature, usually immediately following a barline, indicates a change of meter.
There are various types of time signatures, depending on whether the music follows simple rhythms or involves unusual shifting tempos, including: simple (such as 3
4 or 4
4), compound (e.g., 9
8 or 12
8), complex (e.g., 5
4 or 7
8), mixed (e.g., 5
8 & 3
8 or 6
8 or 3
4), additive (e.g., 3+2+3
8), fractional (e.g., 2½
4), irrational meters (e.g., 3
10 or 5
24), or other meters.
Simple time signatures consist of two numerals, one stacked above the other:
Aung San Suu KyiMPAC (Burmese: ; MLCTS: aung hcan: cu. krany, IPA: [ʔàʊɴ sʰáɴ sṵ tɕì]; born 19 June 1945) is a Burmeseopposition politician and General Secretary of the National League for Democracy (NLD) in Burma. In the 1990 general election, the NLD won 59% of the national votes and 81% (392 of 485) of the seats in Parliament. She had, however, already been detained under house arrest before the elections. She remained under house arrest in Burma for almost 15 of the 21 years from 20 July 1989 until her most recent release on 13 November 2010, becoming one of the world's most prominent (now former) political prisoners.
ASEAN Foreign Ministers in their meeting in Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia have agreed to push forward the idea of establishing common time zone for capitals of member countries.
According to the ministers, ASEAN becomes a Community by the end of this year, a common time zone is worthy.

Southeast Asian diplomats failed to reach common ground on Friday on how to deal with a territorial dispute involving China, as a regional conference ended without a joint statement for the first time in the bloc's 45-year history.
The failure to issue a statement following the meeting of foreign ministers underscores deep divisions within the 10-member Association of Southeast Asian Nations amid conflicting territorial claims in the resource-rich South China Sea involving four of its members as well as China and Taiwan.

ASEAN = Association of Southeast Asian Nations
ASEAN is a political and economic organisation of ten Southeast Asian countries. It was formed on 8 August 1967 by Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand. Since then, membership has expanded to include Brunei,Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar (Burma), and Vietnam. Its aims include accelerating economic growth, social progress, and socio-cultural evolution among its members, protection of regional peace and stability, and opportunities for member countries to resolve differences peacefully.
ASEAN covers a land area of 4.4 million square kilometres, 3% of the total land area of the Earth. ASEAN territorial waters cover an area about three times larger than its land counterpart. The member countries have a combined population of approximately 625 million people, 8.8% of the world's population. In 2015, the organisation's combined nominal GDP had grown to more than US$2.6 trillion. If ASEAN were a single entity, it would rank as the seventh largest economy in the world, behind the US, China, Japan, Germany, France and the United Kingdom.
Purpose
As set out in the ASEAN Declaration, the aims and purposes of ASEAN are:
- To accelerate economic growth, social progress, and cultural development in the region
- To promote regional peace and stability
- To promote collaboration and mutual assistance on matters of common interest
- To provide assistance to each other in the form of training and research facilities
- To collaborate for the better utilisation of agriculture and industry to raise the living standards of the people
- To promote Southeast Asian studies
- To maintain close, beneficial co-operation with existing international organisations with similar aims and purposes
History
Foundation
ASEAN was prefigured by an organisation called the Association of Southeast Asia (ASA), a group consisting of the Philippines, Malaysia, and Thailand that was formed in 1961. ASEAN itself was inaugurated on 8 August 1967, when foreign ministers of five countries; Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand, signed the ASEAN Declaration, more commonly known as the Bangkok Declaration.
The creation of ASEAN was motivated by a common fear of communism, and a thirst for economic development.
ASEAN grew when Brunei Darussalam became its sixth member on 7 January 1984, barely a week after gaining independence.
Expansion and further integration
ASEAN achieved greater cohesion in the mid-1970s following the changed balance of power in Southeast Asia after the end of the Vietnam War. The region’s dynamic economic growth during the 1970s strengthened the organisation, enabling ASEAN to adopt a unified response to Vietnam’s invasion of Cambodia in 1979. ASEAN's first summit meeting, held in Bali, Indonesia, in 1976, resulted in an agreement on several industrial projects and the signing of a Treaty of Amity and Cooperation, and a Declaration of Concord. The end of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union at the end of the 1980s allowed ASEAN countries to exercise greater political independence in the region, and in the 1990s ASEAN emerged as a leading voice on regional trade and security issues.
On 28 July 1995, Vietnam became ASEAN's seventh member. Laos and Myanmar (Burma) joined two years later on 23 July 1997. Cambodia was to have joined together with Laos and Burma, but entry was delayed due to the country's internal political struggle. The country later joined on 30 April 1999, following the stabilisation of its government.
In 1990, Malaysia proposed the creation of an East Asia Economic Caucus composed of the members of ASEAN as well as the People's Republic of China, Japan, and South Korea, with the intention of counterbalancing the growing influence of the United States in Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC), and in the Asian region as a whole. The proposal failed, however, because of heavy opposition from the US and Japan. Member states continued to work for further integration and ASEAN Plus Three was created in 1997.
In 1992, the Common Effective Preferential Tariff (CEPT) scheme was adopted as a schedule for phasing out tariffs, and as a goal to increase the "region's competitive advantage as a production base geared for the world market". This law would act as the framework for the ASEAN Free Trade Area (AFTA). AFTA is an agreement by member nations concerning local manufacturing in ASEAN countries. The AFTA agreement was signed on 28 January 1992 in Singapore.

ASEAN grew when Brunei Darussalam became its sixth member on 7 January 1984, barely a week after gaining independence.
Expansion and further integration
ASEAN achieved greater cohesion in the mid-1970s following the changed balance of power in Southeast Asia after the end of the Vietnam War. The region’s dynamic economic growth during the 1970s strengthened the organisation, enabling ASEAN to adopt a unified response to Vietnam’s invasion of Cambodia in 1979. ASEAN's first summit meeting, held in Bali, Indonesia, in 1976, resulted in an agreement on several industrial projects and the signing of a Treaty of Amity and Cooperation, and a Declaration of Concord. The end of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union at the end of the 1980s allowed ASEAN countries to exercise greater political independence in the region, and in the 1990s ASEAN emerged as a leading voice on regional trade and security issues.
On 28 July 1995, Vietnam became ASEAN's seventh member. Laos and Myanmar (Burma) joined two years later on 23 July 1997. Cambodia was to have joined together with Laos and Burma, but entry was delayed due to the country's internal political struggle. The country later joined on 30 April 1999, following the stabilisation of its government.
In 1990, Malaysia proposed the creation of an East Asia Economic Caucus composed of the members of ASEAN as well as the People's Republic of China, Japan, and South Korea, with the intention of counterbalancing the growing influence of the United States in Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC), and in the Asian region as a whole. The proposal failed, however, because of heavy opposition from the US and Japan. Member states continued to work for further integration and ASEAN Plus Three was created in 1997.
In 1992, the Common Effective Preferential Tariff (CEPT) scheme was adopted as a schedule for phasing out tariffs, and as a goal to increase the "region's competitive advantage as a production base geared for the world market". This law would act as the framework for the ASEAN Free Trade Area (AFTA). AFTA is an agreement by member nations concerning local manufacturing in ASEAN countries. The AFTA agreement was signed on 28 January 1992 in Singapore.

ASEAN = Association of Southeast Asian Nations
ASEAN is a political and economic organisation of ten Southeast Asian countries. It was formed on 8 August 1967 by Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand. Since then, membership has expanded to include Brunei,Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar (Burma), and Vietnam. Its aims include accelerating economic growth, social progress, and socio-cultural evolution among its members, protection of regional peace and stability, and opportunities for member countries to resolve differences peacefully.
ASEAN covers a land area of 4.4 million square kilometres, 3% of the total land area of the Earth. ASEAN territorial waters cover an area about three times larger than its land counterpart. The member countries have a combined population of approximately 625 million people, 8.8% of the world's population. In 2015, the organisation's combined nominal GDP had grown to more than US$2.6 trillion. If ASEAN were a single entity, it would rank as the seventh largest economy in the world, behind the US, China, Japan, Germany, France and the United Kingdom.

Mr Ong took into account the importantance of the inter-governmental association which comprised ten countries, ten decision makers and ten groups of citizens of Southeast Asia.
He said the nations were not like the European Union with its commission in Brussels, Belgium to make decisions, but Asean was a unique intergovernmental association of ten countries constructed into a very positive organisation - the Asean Way.
At the seminar, Ambassador Ong's lecture covered regional architecture evolution, regional and international issues, and challenges and opportunities for Laos' Asean chairmanship.
The Asia Foundation Country Coordinator Ms Nancy Y. Kim also attended the seminar.

STORYLINE:
ASEAN foreign ministers have taken the unprecedented step to openly discus the internal political problems of a member nation.
At a working dinner in Phnom Penh, where the ASEAN Regional Forum (ARF) is holding its yearly summit, recent events in Myanmar were on the table.
Philippine foreign minister Blas Ople met his Myanmar counterpart Win Aung in a bilateral earlier in the day and "expressed regret" over an incident May 30 when, according to Myanmar's opposition, 70 people were killed at a rally held by democratic activist Aung San Suu Kyi.
After the incident, Suu Kyi, a Nobel laureate and leader of the National League for Democracy (NLD) in Myanmar, was taken into protective custody.
She recently met with UN envoy Razali Ismail, but despite pleas from Razali, the UN and others in the international community, she has not been released.
Many expected that despite pressure from the US and Europe, that the ARF would steer clear of the subject because of past traditions.
Sunday's announcement that it would be discussed came as a bit of a shock, and Ople said that his country would press for strong wording in the final communique to pressure Yangon to move ahead in national reconciliation.
Earlier in the day, Win Aung claimed Suu Kyi wasn't forcibly detained said his government was committed to multi-party democracy.
These claims are looked upon skeptically by the international community, which has shunned trade with Myanmar but continue to engage it diplomatically.
The legislature has not met since.

Summit closes without agreement on South China Sea row
STORYLINE
Southeast Asian diplomats failed to reach common ground on Friday on how to deal with a territorial dispute involving China, as a regional conference ended without a joint statement for the first time in the bloc's 45-year history.
The failure to issue a statement following the meeting of foreign ministers underscores deep divisions within the 10-member Association of Southeast Asian Nations amid conflicting territorial claims in the resource-rich South China Sea involving four of its members as well as China and Taiwan.
ASEAN Secretary-General Surin Pitsuwan of Thailand said the Philippines and Vietnam wanted the statement to include a reference to a recent standoff between China and the Philippines at a shoal in the South China Sea claimed by both countries.
The Philippine Department of Foreign Affairs issued a statement lambasting host Cambodia for "consistently opposing any mention of the Scarborough Shoal at all" and for announcing that a joint communique cannot be issued.
It said Philippine Foreign Secretary Albert del Rosario wanted the ASEAN statement to mention that the territorial rift had been discussed.
China opposes efforts to bring the South China Sea disputes into any international arena for discussions, arguing the conflicts should be tackled only between Beijing and each of the rival claimants.
Vietnamese and Philippine diplomats have criticised Cambodia, which has close ties with China, for towing Beijing's line in the meetings in the Cambodian capital of Phnom Penh.
Cambodian Foreign Minister Hor Namhong said his government does not support any side in the disputes.
He added that the failure to issue a statement lies with all ASEAN members, not just Cambodia.
"ASEAN (countries) have taken this joint communique as a hostage of the bilateral conflict between some ASEAN countries and China, this is unacceptable. As the chair of ASEAN and a member of ASEAN, Cambodia cannot accept it," he said.
ASEAN's members announced earlier this week that they had drafted a set of rules governing maritime rights and navigation in the South China Sea, and procedures for when governments disagree.
ASEAN then would have to negotiate with China, which is not a member of the group, to finalise what many want to be a legally binding "code of conduct" to prevent armed confrontations in the disputed region.
The ASEAN countries presented their proposal to China at this week's conference.
"I think it is utterly irresponsible if we cannot come up with a common statement on South China Sea. This is a time when ASEAN should be seen to be acting as one," Marti Natalegawa, Indonesia Foreign Minister said on Thursday.
The standoff between China and the Philippines in the Scarborough Shoal began when the Philippines accused Chinese fishermen of poaching in its exclusive economic zone, including the shoal.
During the tensions, both sides sent government ships to the area.
The Philippines has withdrawn its vessels in the area, but Chinese government ships have remained at the shoal, which Beijing claims to have owned since ancient times.
Vietnam has protested a recent announcement by the China National Offshore Oil Corp. opening nine oil and gas lots for international bidders in areas overlapping with existing Vietnamese exploration blocks.
Vietnam says the lots lie entirely within its 200-nautical-mile exclusive economic zone and continental shelf.

ASEAN = Association of Southeast Asian Nations
ASEAN is a political and economic organisation of ten Southeast Asian countries. It was formed on 8 August 1967 by Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand. Since then, membership has expanded to include Brunei,Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar (Burma), and Vietnam. Its aims include accelerating economic growth, social progress, and socio-cultural evolution among its members, protection of regional peace and stability, and opportunities for member countries to resolve differences peacefully.
ASEAN covers a land area of 4.4 million square kilometres, 3% of the total land area of the Earth. ASEAN territorial waters cover an area about three times larger than its land counterpart. The member countries have a combined population of approximately 625 million people, 8.8% of the world's population. In 2015, the organisation's combined nominal GDP had grown to more than US$2.6 trillion. If ASEAN were a single entity, it would rank as the seventh largest economy in the world, behind the US, China, Japan, Germany, France and the United Kingdom.
Purpose
As set out in the ASEAN Declaration, the aims and purposes of ASEAN are:
- To accelerate economic growth, social progress, and cultural development in the region
- To promote regional peace and stability
- To promote collaboration and mutual assistance on matters of common interest
- To provide assistance to each other in the form of training and research facilities
- To collaborate for the better utilisation of agriculture and industry to raise the living standards of the people
- To promote Southeast Asian studies
- To maintain close, beneficial co-operation with existing international organisations with similar aims and purposes
History
Foundation
ASEAN was prefigured by an organisation called the Association of Southeast Asia (ASA), a group consisting of the Philippines, Malaysia, and Thailand that was formed in 1961. ASEAN itself was inaugurated on 8 August 1967, when foreign ministers of five countries; Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand, signed the ASEAN Declaration, more commonly known as the Bangkok Declaration.
The creation of ASEAN was motivated by a common fear of communism, and a thirst for economic development.
ASEAN grew when Brunei Darussalam became its sixth member on 7 January 1984, barely a week after gaining independence.
Expansion and further integration
ASEAN achieved greater cohesion in the mid-1970s following the changed balance of power in Southeast Asia after the end of the Vietnam War. The region’s dynamic economic growth during the 1970s strengthened the organisation, enabling ASEAN to adopt a unified response to Vietnam’s invasion of Cambodia in 1979. ASEAN's first summit meeting, held in Bali, Indonesia, in 1976, resulted in an agreement on several industrial projects and the signing of a Treaty of Amity and Cooperation, and a Declaration of Concord. The end of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union at the end of the 1980s allowed ASEAN countries to exercise greater political independence in the region, and in the 1990s ASEAN emerged as a leading voice on regional trade and security issues.
On 28 July 1995, Vietnam became ASEAN's seventh member. Laos and Myanmar (Burma) joined two years later on 23 July 1997. Cambodia was to have joined together with Laos and Burma, but entry was delayed due to the country's internal political struggle. The country later joined on 30 April 1999, following the stabilisation of its government.
In 1990, Malaysia proposed the creation of an East Asia Economic Caucus composed of the members of ASEAN as well as the People's Republic of China, Japan, and South Korea, with the intention of counterbalancing the growing influence of the United States in Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC), and in the Asian region as a whole. The proposal failed, however, because of heavy opposition from the US and Japan. Member states continued to work for further integration and ASEAN Plus Three was created in 1997.
In 1992, the Common Effective Preferential Tariff (CEPT) scheme was adopted as a schedule for phasing out tariffs, and as a goal to increase the "region's competitive advantage as a production base geared for the world market". This law would act as the framework for the ASEAN Free Trade Area (AFTA). AFTA is an agreement by member nations concerning local manufacturing in ASEAN countries. The AFTA agreement was signed on 28 January 1992 in Singapore.

STORYLINE:
Foreign ministers from the Association of Southeast Asian Nations will discuss the detention of Myanmar pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi during their annual meeting this week, in a departure from the group's policy of noninterference in members' internal affairs.
An ASEAN spokesman said Myanmar, formerly known as Burma, has accepted what he described as "ASEAN's proactive stance on this subject of concern."

Asian economic ministers have called on Europe to open up its markets to Asia.
At a meeting of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) in Chiang Rai, Thailand, the E-U was criticised for what was seen as its protectionist trade policy.
The call for greater economic cooperation between the two regions comes two weeks before ASEAN and the E-U meet for a trade summit.
The seven members of ASEAN are meeting here in northern Thailand to decide on negotiating tactics for their meeting with European Union representatives in two weeks time.
Many of the ASEAN nations regard the E-U as operating a highly protectionist trade policy, while seeking to exploit new Asian markets at the same time.
But the E-U may soon be forced to reconsider its position in the face of rapid economic growth in Asia and work towards strengthening ties with the region.
Trade ministers at this conference are already putting pressure on Europe to start liberalizing its markets.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"Most people outside of Asia, outside of ASEAN for example, look at this part of the world as a potential market. It is always a case of others wanting to come into the region. We appreciate that because there's so much here in terms of economic potential... for trade, for doing business. But on the converse, we are also keen to see Europe opening up its market. Europe bringing down non-tariff barriers. Europe doing what's necessary to make the European market more open in the real sense of the word to countries of Asia and to ASEAN."
SUPER CAPTION: Dato Seri Rafidah Aziz, Malaysian Trade Minister
ASEAN's annual trade with the E-U constitutes less than five per cent of its business outside the region.
And the E-U invests only one per cent of its direct foreign investment in ASEAN.
Both regions are now looking to increase trade with each other.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"But we cannot afford to ignore other parts of the world in the same way that Europe cannot afford to ignore Asia. So it's logical that these two regions should get together to promote open regionalism."
SUPER CAPTION: Amnuay Viravan, Deputy Prime Minister of Thailand
Ministers here are busy finalising plans for a summit involving 25 E-U and ASEAN leaders in Bangkok on March 1st.
But there is some argument as to whether the issues of human rights and labour conditions should be raised at the conference.
The deputy prime minister of Thailand says Europe has agreed not to bring up specific issues, including East Timor and ASEAN's links with Burma which it views as "constructive engagement."
Malaysia's trade minister said the World Trade Organisation (W-T-O) should also not be discussing social issues.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"We have to prevail upon the European Union that Asia, like many other countries elsewhere too, are not agreeable to the W-T-O being burdened with extraneous issues."
SUPER CAPTION: Dato Seri Rafidah Aziz, Malaysian Trade Minister
Some ministers at this conference have suggested that the E-U should join APEC in a plan to cut all trade tariffs by 2020.
But others believe that Europe is still a long way from making such a move.
But Thailand's deputy prime minister is urging the E-U to join APEC at least in the global trading area.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"E-U, of course, they have their own common market. APEC - we are lowering tariffs among ourselves, so it's different. But once we lower the tariff we would like to do it on a most favoured nation basis, or non-discriminating basis. In that respect, we would like to see that Europe will also reciprocate economic hospitality."

The Foreign Ministers of Australia and New Zealand say they will work with Asean to establish an Australia/New Zealand free trade zone extending into the southern hemisphere.
Australian Foreign Minister Alexander Downer said an Asean/ Australian/ New Zealand task force is studying the proposal and will be reporting to a ministerial meeting in October.
ASEAN is already having trouble getting members to hit tariff targets on time, but New Zealand and Australia are trying to extend the pact to their lands.
New Zealand Foreign Minister Phil Goff also spoke about Fiji.
He said New Zealand and Australia would like to see a more definite timetable for elections there.
The current Fijian Prime Minister has said there would be elections in two years.
But Goff says New Zealand wants to see a clear commitment from Fiji to the democratic process with a constitution that it not racist.

" Well I welcome the very positive response that has been made by the Indonesians and by UNTAET who are ensuring that the murderers of Private Manning are tracked down and held to account for their actions. It is critically important that we follow up the suspect list that has been produced by UNTAET that action is taken if need be, the arrest and extradition from West Timor which is Indonesian territory and that those people can be brought before a justice system within East Timor."

In the case of ASEAN’s cooperation with the EU, the two major regional organizations in the world came together in 2003 to agree on an EU-ASEAN Joint Declaration to Combat Terrorism. However there are question marks over the effectiveness of ASEAN-EU cooperation to tackle terrorism. Chief among them is whether any cooperation has gone beyond rhetorical declarations and has been translated into actual practical measures that are legal, binding and institutionalized.

ASEAN - the Association of South East Asian Nations has been reporting furiously on the newest developments occurring in the region. Growth and investment have been hot topics in countries such as Thailand and Indonesia for quite some time now and as costs are becoming increasingly more expensive in China these new jurisdictions have become the alternatives. The issue for many Foreign Investors is that these nations are brand new territories that are not publicized in the media as often as China is. As there are not too many Foreign Investors already there it is hard to evaluate what the do's and dont's are. In this month's webinar we will be looking at the opportunities which exist for Foreign Investors and the best ways to structures these investments via a Singapore Holding Structure.

The DBS Asian Insights Conference is an annual business conference. This year, top economists, analysts and experts discuss complex Gamechangers that will deepen or disrupt Asia’s growth. The Social Good Clinic was introduced as social good is a gamechanger that will shape the Asia of tomorrow. It is time to address a common but underrepresented concern: What does it mean to be purpose driven? How do we use business to be a force for good?
Andrew Hewitt is the founder of GameChangers 500 - a list of the world’s top purpose-driven organisations using business as a force for good. Akin to the Fortune 500 list that features the world's top profit-driven companies. GameChangers 500 revolutionises and redefines success for companies, and many of these companies are driven by individuals or groups who have also redefined what success is. Whether transiting from a large traditional company or having started first from a purpose, each of these companies have one thing in common, the vision of what future businesses should be like and to take a leap of faith into a whole new world.
Besides taking you on his journey of creating the GC500 list, Andrew explains how benefit is measured using 9 badges and what they are, how companies around the world rank against this measure and which companies are in the list. You will also get a chance to watch a live case study discussion of Milaap, one such purpose driven company operating out of Singapore.

In a policy speech he delivered at the Institut Francais des Relations Internationales (IFRI), President Benigno S. Aquino IIII stated the fruits of economic and social reforms his administration has done since he took office in 2010.
“Good governance is good economics. Let me emphasize that this is not an empty pronouncement. Our Business Process Management Sector continues to mark impressive growth; manufacturing has rebounded impressively; and tourists all over the world are flocking to our beaches and cities, seeing for themselves how it is more fun in the Philippines,” the President said.
President Aquino also talked on the pursuit for common prosperity and fostering peace and stability for continued development both in the ASEAN region and Europe, citing the territorial disputes happening in the South China Sea.
“We are advocating a peaceful resolution of the dispute. To do this, we are taking two tracks: first, through promoting the formulation of a binding code of conduct, and second, through arbitration—a mechanism embedded in the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. We continue to invite other claimant countries to join us, to accelerate the resolution of this very long standing dispute, which has lately caused much tension in the region,” he further stated.
A question and answer portion followed after President Aquino’s speech and IFRI Founder Thierry De Montbrial initiated the first round of questions.
Institut Francais des Relations Internationales is a French policy-oriented research institute founded in 1979. It ranked among the 100 most influential think tanks in the world according to the "Global Think Tank Report 2012" published by the University of Pennsylvania. It is the principal institution for independent research and debate in France that is dedicated to the analysis of international questions and global governance.

On January 22, 2015 the Swedish Institute of International Affairs (UI) organized discussion on EU’s Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP) and the role of the European External Action Service (EEAS), their current developments and future challenges.
The EEAS has for the past 4 years been strengthening its role as the coordination centre for the CFSP and the EU’s external relations, although the tension between national interests and supranational decision-making still remains.
As of 2014, a new High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy / Vice-President of the Commission is taking office, at the same time as several events and crises both near and afar suggest that the demand for common European responses is as high as ever.
What is the current state of institutional development in EU foreign and security policy? How will the EEAS manage to respond to the issues it is faced with? What are the most important challenges, and can these be dealt with in the prevailing setting?
Speakers:
Anna-Karin Eneström, Ambassador, Head of the Secretariat for Sweden’s candidature to the Security Council 2017-18. Previously Swedish Ambassador to the Political and Security Committee at the Council of the EU.
Federica Bicchi, Associate Professor in International Relations of Europe at the London School of Economics and Political Science.
Niklas Bremberg, Research Fellow at UI's Europe Research Programme.
The seminar was moderated by Anna Wieslander, Deputy Director at UI.

ASEAN = Association of Southeast Asian Nations
ASEAN is a political and economic organisation of ten Southeast Asian countries. It was formed on 8 August 1967 by Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand. Since then, membership has expanded to include Brunei,Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar (Burma), and Vietnam. Its aims include accelerating economic growth, social progress, and socio-cultural evolution among its members, protection of regional peace and stability, and opportunities for member countries to resolve differences peacefully.
ASEAN covers a land area of 4.4 million square kilometres, 3% of the total land area of the Earth. ASEAN territorial waters cover an area about three times larger than its land counterpart. The member countries have a combined population of approximately 625 million people, 8.8% of the world's population. In 2015, the organisation's combined nominal GDP had grown to more than US$2.6 trillion. If ASEAN were a single entity, it would rank as the seventh largest economy in the world, behind the US, China, Japan, Germany, France and the United Kingdom.
Purpose
As set out in the ASEAN Declaration, the aims and purposes of ASEAN are:
- To accelerate economic growth, social progress, and cultural development in the region
- To promote regional peace and stability
- To promote collaboration and mutual assistance on matters of common interest
- To provide assistance to each other in the form of training and research facilities
- To collaborate for the better utilisation of agriculture and industry to raise the living standards of the people
- To promote Southeast Asian studies
- To maintain close, beneficial co-operation with existing international organisations with similar aims and purposes
History
Foundation
ASEAN was prefigured by an organisation called the Association of Southeast Asia (ASA), a group consisting of the Philippines, Malaysia, and Thailand that was formed in 1961. ASEAN itself was inaugurated on 8 August 1967, when foreign ministers of five countries; Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand, signed the ASEAN Declaration, more commonly known as the Bangkok Declaration.
The creation of ASEAN was motivated by a common fear of communism, and a thirst for economic development.
ASEAN grew when Brunei Darussalam became its sixth member on 7 January 1984, barely a week after gaining independence.
Expansion and further integration
ASEAN achieved greater cohesion in the mid-1970s following the changed balance of power in Southeast Asia after the end of the Vietnam War. The region’s dynamic economic growth during the 1970s strengthened the organisation, enabling ASEAN to adopt a unified response to Vietnam’s invasion of Cambodia in 1979. ASEAN's first summit meeting, held in Bali, Indonesia, in 1976, resulted in an agreement on several industrial projects and the signing of a Treaty of Amity and Cooperation, and a Declaration of Concord. The end of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union at the end of the 1980s allowed ASEAN countries to exercise greater political independence in the region, and in the 1990s ASEAN emerged as a leading voice on regional trade and security issues.
On 28 July 1995, Vietnam became ASEAN's seventh member. Laos and Myanmar (Burma) joined two years later on 23 July 1997. Cambodia was to have joined together with Laos and Burma, but entry was delayed due to the country's internal political struggle. The country later joined on 30 April 1999, following the stabilisation of its government.
In 1990, Malaysia proposed the creation of an East Asia Economic Caucus composed of the members of ASEAN as well as the People's Republic of China, Japan, and South Korea, with the intention of counterbalancing the growing influence of the United States in Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC), and in the Asian region as a whole. The proposal failed, however, because of heavy opposition from the US and Japan. Member states continued to work for further integration and ASEAN Plus Three was created in 1997.
In 1992, the Common Effective Preferential Tariff (CEPT) scheme was adopted as a schedule for phasing out tariffs, and as a goal to increase the "region's competitive advantage as a production base geared for the world market". This law would act as the framework for the ASEAN Free Trade Area (AFTA). AFTA is an agreement by member nations concerning local manufacturing in ASEAN countries. The AFTA agreement was signed on 28 January 1992 in Singapore.

The 12th China-ASEAN Expo, an important platform to promote bilateral trade and relationships between China and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), opened on Friday in Nanning, capital of south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.
Chinese Vice Premier Zhang Gaoli addressed the opening ceremony of the annual event.
He said that the political mutual trust and economic amalgamation between China and ASEAN is being promoted.
Chinese President Xi Jinping's initiatives to jointly establish the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road and more close China-ASEAN community of common destiny have been applauded and supported by ASEAN countries. Chinese Premier Li Keqiang proposed to establish China-ASEAN "2+7" cooperation framework.
Zhang said that the "One Belt, One Road" construction is connecting with the blueprint of the China-ASEAN community establishment, and connecting with the development strategies of the ASEAN countries.
China is the largest trading partner of ASEAN, while ASEAN ranks as China's third-largest trading partner, fourth-largest export market and the second-largest source of imports.
The bilateral trade volume in 2014 exceeded 480 billion U.S. dollars, with an increase of 8.3 percent, and the mutual investment between the two sides exceeded 130 billion U.S. dollars.

STORYLINE :
The Foreign Ministers of the ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) members states continued their meeting in Bali, Indonesia on Wednesday.
Discussions included the establishment of the ASEAN Institute of Peace and Reconciliation, the Implementation of the declaration on the conduct of parties in the South China Sea and also the Treaty of Amity and Cooperation.
"I will sign the declaration that expresses our engagement with the adherence to the Treaty of Amity and Cooperation, and through this procedure we hope to be in closer touch with ASEAN, with the individual countries," said Brazilian Foreign Minister Antonio Patriota.
The ministers will also deliberate on the topics of ASEAN community building and the implementation of the ASEAN Charter, including the proposal for an ASEAN common visa for non-ASEAN nationals.
Talks surrounding issues concerning the South China Sea will be paramount in the related summits over the next few days after Philippines Foreign Secretary Albert del Rosario, signed a declaration aboard the USS Fitzgerald in Manila Bay on Wednesday calling for multilateral talks to resolve maritime disputes such as those over the South China Sea.
Six countries in the region have competing claims, but China wants them to negotiate one-to-one - and chafes at any US involvement.
US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said that this week's East Asian Summit in Bali would play host to some frank conversations regarding the maritime challenges in the region and how to address them.
Beijing said on Tuesday it opposed bringing up the issue at the summit.

ASEAN = Association of Southeast Asian Nations
ASEAN is a political and economic organisation of ten Southeast Asian countries. It was formed on 8 August 1967 by Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand. Since then, membership has expanded to include Brunei,Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar (Burma), and Vietnam. Its aims include accelerating economic growth, social progress, and socio-cultural evolution among its members, protection of regional peace and stability, and opportunities for member countries to resolve differences peacefully.
ASEAN covers a land area of 4.4 million square kilometres, 3% of the total land area of the Earth. ASEAN territorial waters cover an area about three times larger than its land counterpart. The member countries have a combined population of approximately 625 million people, 8.8% of the world's population. In 2015, the organisation's combined nominal GDP had grown to more than US$2.6 trillion. If ASEAN were a single entity, it would rank as the seventh largest economy in the world, behind the US, China, Japan, Germany, France and the United Kingdom.
Purpose
As set out in the ASEAN Declaration, the aims and purposes of ASEAN are:
- To accelerate economic growth, social progress, and cultural development in the region
- To promote regional peace and stability
- To promote collaboration and mutual assistance on matters of common interest
- To provide assistance to each other in the form of training and research facilities
- To collaborate for the better utilisation of agriculture and industry to raise the living standards of the people
- To promote Southeast Asian studies
- To maintain close, beneficial co-operation with existing international organisations with similar aims and purposes
History
Foundation
ASEAN was prefigured by an organisation called the Association of Southeast Asia (ASA), a group consisting of the Philippines, Malaysia, and Thailand that was formed in 1961. ASEAN itself was inaugurated on 8 August 1967, when foreign ministers of five countries; Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand, signed the ASEAN Declaration, more commonly known as the Bangkok Declaration.
The creation of ASEAN was motivated by a common fear of communism, and a thirst for economic development.
ASEAN grew when Brunei Darussalam became its sixth member on 7 January 1984, barely a week after gaining independence.
Expansion and further integration
ASEAN achieved greater cohesion in the mid-1970s following the changed balance of power in Southeast Asia after the end of the Vietnam War. The region’s dynamic economic growth during the 1970s strengthened the organisation, enabling ASEAN to adopt a unified response to Vietnam’s invasion of Cambodia in 1979. ASEAN's first summit meeting, held in Bali, Indonesia, in 1976, resulted in an agreement on several industrial projects and the signing of a Treaty of Amity and Cooperation, and a Declaration of Concord. The end of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union at the end of the 1980s allowed ASEAN countries to exercise greater political independence in the region, and in the 1990s ASEAN emerged as a leading voice on regional trade and security issues.
On 28 July 1995, Vietnam became ASEAN's seventh member. Laos and Myanmar (Burma) joined two years later on 23 July 1997. Cambodia was to have joined together with Laos and Burma, but entry was delayed due to the country's internal political struggle. The country later joined on 30 April 1999, following the stabilisation of its government.
In 1990, Malaysia proposed the creation of an East Asia Economic Caucus composed of the members of ASEAN as well as the People's Republic of China, Japan, and South Korea, with the intention of counterbalancing the growing influence of the United States in Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC), and in the Asian region as a whole. The proposal failed, however, because of heavy opposition from the US and Japan. Member states continued to work for further integration and ASEAN Plus Three was created in 1997.
In 1992, the Common Effective Preferential Tariff (CEPT) scheme was adopted as a schedule for phasing out tariffs, and as a goal to increase the "region's competitive advantage as a production base geared for the world market". This law would act as the framework for the ASEAN Free Trade Area (AFTA). AFTA is an agreement by member nations concerning local manufacturing in ASEAN countries. The AFTA agreement was signed on 28 January 1992 in Singapore.

VO The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) should be a model regional community
INTRO: Lao and foreign experts gave the common view when talking about Asean Political Security Pillar of the future community at a seminar held in Vientiane on preparing Laos' Asean chairmanship next year that, The Association of Southeast Asian Nations calls ASEAN should be a model regional community that is harmonious and of value to the nations.
STORY: In his opening remarks at the seminar, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, Alounkeo Kittikoun briefed the meeting on the regional and global situation which had created complications for Asean with opportunities and challenges. These included transnational crimes, natural disasters, unusual migration, territorial disputes, terrorism, and the race between great powers.
Alounkeo who is also the Laos Asean Senior Officials Leader also discussed how Asean should be in future. He also highlighted Asean centrality which should play a fundamental role in its future. It should also be strong but not militarily, with its strength based on its principles and values of the nations.
Chargé d'affaire from the Australian Embassy David Vosen praised Laos' ambition in taking on the chairmanship next year as it was very significant with the regional nations joining in a community. He spoke about issues relating to political security and stability in the ten countries which combined had 600 million people with significant religious, linguistic and geographic diversity.
Former Asean Secretary General Ong Keng Yong who is currently Ambassador-at-Large of Singapore Ministry of Foreign Affairs joined the seminar as main lecturer.
Mr Ong took into account the importantance of the inter-governmental association which comprised ten countries, ten decision makers and ten groups of citizens of Southeast Asia.
He said the nations were not like the European Union with its commission in Brussels, Belgium to make decisions, but Asean was a unique intergovernmental association of ten countries constructed into a very positive organisation - the Asean Way.
At the seminar, Ambassador Ong's lecture covered regional architecture evolution, regional and international issues, and challenges and opportunities for Laos' Asean chairmanship.
The Asia Foundation Country Coordinator Ms Nancy Y. Kim also attended the seminar.

STORYLINE:
ASEAN foreign ministers have taken the unprecedented step to openly discus the internal political problems of a member nation.
At a working dinner in Phnom Penh, where the ASEAN Regional Forum (ARF) is holding its yearly summit, recent events in Myanmar were on the table.
Philippine foreign minister Blas Ople met his Myanmar counterpart Win Aung in a bilateral earlier in the day and "expressed regret" over an incident May 30 when, according to Myanmar's opposition, 70 people were killed at a rally held by democratic activist Aung San Suu Kyi.
After the incident, Suu Kyi, a Nobel laureate and leader of the National League for Democracy (NLD) in Myanmar, was taken into protective custody.
She recently met with UN envoy Razali Ismail, but despite pleas from Razali, the UN and others in the international community, she has not been released.
Many expected that despite pressure from the US and Europe, that the ARF would steer clear of the subject because of past traditions.
Sunday's announcement that it would be discussed came as a bit of a shock, and Ople said that his country would press for strong wording in the final communique to pressure Yangon to move ahead in national reconciliation.
Earlier in the day, Win Aung claimed Suu Kyi wasn't forcibly detained said his government was committed to multi-party democracy.
These claims are looked upon skeptically by the international community, which has shunned trade with Myanmar but continue to engage it diplomatically.
The legislature has not met since.

Talking ASEAN on Addressing Non-Traditional Security Issues in Southeast Asia: Lessons from ASEAN-EU Cooperation
In the ASEAN region, terrorists have long waged campaigns of violence. More recently, the appeal of ISIS among radicals in Southeast Asia has sparked deep worries among the governments of ASEAN member-states.Earlier this month, the ten defense ministers of Southeast Asia adopted a joint declaration opposing ISIS at the 9th ASEAN Defense Ministers’ Meeting (ADMM).
In response to these terrorist activities, the ASEAN member-states have attempted to tackle the threat of terrorism within the framework of ASEAN. Crucially, ASEAN has also sought the assistance and cooperation of non-ASEAN states such as Australia, China, EU, India, Japan, Russia and the United States as well as other actors in the region.
In the case of ASEAN’s cooperation with the EU, the two major regional organizations in the world came together in 2003 to agree on an EU-ASEAN Joint Declaration to Combat Terrorism. However there are question marks over the effectiveness of ASEAN-EU cooperation to tackle terrorism. Chief among them is whether any cooperation has gone beyond rhetorical declarations and has been translated into actual practical measures that are legal, binding and institutionalized.

ASEAN - the Association of South East Asian Nations has been reporting furiously on the newest developments occurring in the region. Growth and investment have been hot topics in countries such as Thailand and Indonesia for quite some time now and as costs are becoming increasingly more expensive in China these new jurisdictions have become the alternatives. The issue for many Foreign Investors is that these nations are brand new territories that are not publicized in the media as often as China is. As there are not too many Foreign Investors already there it is hard to evaluate what the do's and dont's are. In this month's webinar we will be looking at the opportunities which exist for Foreign Investors and the best ways to structures these investments via a Singapore Holding Structure.

The DBS Asian Insights Conference is an annual business conference. This year, top economists, analysts and experts discuss complex Gamechangers that will deepen or disrupt Asia’s growth. The Social Good Clinic was introduced as social good is a gamechanger that will shape the Asia of tomorrow. It is time to address a common but underrepresented concern: What does it mean to be purpose driven? How do we use business to be a force for good?
Andrew Hewitt is the founder of GameChangers 500 - a list of the world’s top purpose-driven organisations using business as a force for good. Akin to the Fortune 500 list that features the world's top profit-driven companies. GameChangers 500 revolutionises and redefines success for companies, and many of these companies are driven by individuals or groups who have also redefined what success is. Whether transiting from a large traditional company or having started first from a purpose, each of these companies have one thing in common, the vision of what future businesses should be like and to take a leap of faith into a whole new world.
Besides taking you on his journey of creating the GC500 list, Andrew explains how benefit is measured using 9 badges and what they are, how companies around the world rank against this measure and which companies are in the list. You will also get a chance to watch a live case study discussion of Milaap, one such purpose driven company operating out of Singapore.
