  • Speech by the Secretary-General of ASEAN, Dr Surin Pitsuwan 2008 ASEAN Business and Investment Summit Bangkok, 26 February 2009
    Speech by the Secretary-General of ASEAN, Dr Surin Pitsuwan 2008 ASEAN Business and Investment Summit Bangkok, 26 February 2009 H.E. Governor of Bangkok Mr Arin Jira, Chairman of the ASEAN-Business Advisory Council Members of ABAC Distinguished Guests, Ladies and Gentlemen, I am here today to talk about business in the marketplace of ASEAN. As you know, the ten economies of ASEAN are being integrated into an ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) and implemented through the AEC Blueprint. This AEC Blueprint is the only one among the three that has been approved and is being implemented over the past year. I understand that you already have a preview of the AEC Blueprint yesterday. The AEC Blueprint is the roadmap of ASEAN integration. ASEAN would like to see the ten economies combine and become one market. ASEAN would like to be one market and an equitable landscape with not too much diversity and gaps. ASEAN would like to see all ten economies be competitive with the rest of the world and as one single production base integrated into the global economy. These are the goals. We have the strategies and projects to drive the ten markets into one single entity with 575 million consumers and the growing and rising middle-class, which is not much less than the middle-class of China and not less than the middle class of India. The purchasing power of the region is attractive for business, investors and MNCs. At the heart of our strategies is to reduce tariffs; eliminate non-tariff measures; reduce the gaps in order to increase purchasing power across ASEAN; attract investors; and, institute rules and regulations to protect investment and intellectual property.

  • Download Regional Conference
    ACKNOWLEDGMENT As ASEAN aspires to promote regional peace, stability and prosperity and become an effective community, there has been a relentless effort for the regional grouping to facilitate an even closer economic, political, social, and cultural cooperation. ASEAN also wishes to become a political and security community that is capable of managing regional tensions and preventing conflicts from flaring up. Notwithstanding positive developments, however, ASEAN still faces glaring challenges of both a traditional and non-traditional nature. These challenges include the unstoppable rise of China, the decline of the US and the deep flux of global institutional arrangements coupled with the ongoing territorial and sovereignty claims in the South China Sea. All of these pose serious uncertainty, as no one can predict the future of this region. As such, the Cambodian Institute for Cooperation and Peace feels that it is timely to organize a regional conference on “Cambodia and ASEAN: Managing Opportunity and Challenges beyond 2015 to determine how the future will hold for ASEAN. CICP would like to sincerely express deep appreciation to all the eminent speakers who are experts in their related fields from government officials and from other credible think-tanks in the region who have contributed their perspectives to address common challenges in the region of Southeast Asia, including Cambodia. CICP would also like to thank Mr. Rene Gradwohl, Country Representative of the Konrad- Adenauer Stiftung, for supporting the hosting of this regional conference and for the realization of this conference report which we hope will promote wider debates and interest on how ASEAN could revitalize its critical duties to deal with new challenges that have emerged.

  • Surin Pitsuwan: Scholar, Asean Internationalist By: Datuk Dr A
    Surin Pitsuwan: Scholar, Asean Internationalist By: Datuk Dr A. Murad Merican Published in: New Straits Times, Sunday 3 December 2017 Read More : https://www.nst.com.my/opinion/columnists/2017/12/310056/surin-pitsuwan-scholar- asean-internationalist We saw the passing of statesman, scholar and diplomat extraordinaire Dr Surin Pitsuwan on Thursday. Born Abdul Halim Ismail on Oct 28, 1949, the son of Pondok Ban Tan in Nakhon Si Thammarat, southern Thailand, Surin broke with tradition. Instead of the usual religious studies in “Kedah, Kelantan, Mecca, Cairo or Indonesia”, as he put it, he moved abroad as a high-school student in Minnesota, the United States, on an American Field Service exchange scholarship in 1967-68. He later returned to Bangkok to attend Thammasat University, and subsequently went to Harvard University, where he obtained his master’s degree and doctorate in Political Science and Middle Eastern Studies. Surin was, and still easily is, the public face of Asean. He was Asean secretary-general from July 2007 to December 2012. Contrary to convention, Surin took an activist role and was involved in the peace process as facilitator and negotiator in the region. Writing in the op-ed page of this newspaper on June 17, 2011, he articulated the future of the region. He expressed a clear vision of Asean’s direction, hopeful of more innovative breakthroughs as it develops into an integrated, open, peaceful and outward-looking region. He again narrated on peace at the recent two-day 4th World Conference on Islamic Thought and Civilisation (WCIT 2017), organised by Universiti Sultan Azlan Shah (USAS) in Ipoh, from Nov 20 onwards.

  • The Future of ASEAN Political and Security Cooperation
    BACKGROUND PAPERS The Future of ASEAN Political and Security Cooperation Kavi Chongkittavorn* When the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) was established in 1967, its leaders knew their weaknesses very well. The five founding members – Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand – realised that they must band together to wield greater bargaining force and a stronger voice against the external powers. Failure was not an option given the previous unsuccessful efforts to set up regional organisations that would unify the newly decolonised countries. To keep the nascent organisation moving forward, the founding members set forth specific goals that covered the whole gamut of cooperation – accelerating economic growth, social progress, and cultural development; promoting regional peace and stability, and Southeast Asian studies; and collaborating for mutual assistance and trade. Since then, the promotion of regional peace and stability has become the dominant ASEAN agenda. The regional environment in the early years was tense with a high-powered Cold War conflict looming large on which ASEAN had no influence. Furthermore, ties between newly independent countries in the region were still fragile and their leaders lacked mutual trust. Thailand’s Foreign Minister, Thanat Khoman, understood the region’s vulnerability and the potential that would emerge if only leaders could trust each other. * Kavi Chongkittavorn is editor-in-chief of Myanmar Times, Senior Fellow at the Institute of Security and International Studies, Chulalongkorn University, and Senior Communication Advisor at the Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia. 251 He believed that if the Southeast Asian nations could learn to find the ways and means to band together and cooperate with one another, they might eventually be able to shape and implement a positive and concerted policy without ‘being squeezed or crushed by the weight and pressure of larger countries’.

    KEYNOTE ADDRESS BY ASEAN SECRETARY-GENERAL DR. SURIN PITSUWAN LAUNCH OF THE RSIS CENTRE FOR NON-TRADITIONAL SECURITY (NTS) STUDIES 6 MAY 2008 TRADERS HOTEL, SINGAPORE Dr. Yaacob Ibrahim, Minister of Environment and Water Resources Singapore, Ambassador Barry Desker, Dean of the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies, Mely [Anthony] Head of the new Centre, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen. Ambassador Desker, you have the best of both worlds today. ASEAN Secretariat paid for my trip here, they paid for my hotel room because there is a Senior Officials Meeting over at the Shangri-La Hotel and you have me here for free. But this is such an important issue that I have been part of this very important institution from the beginning. A year ago in January as Ambassador Desker referred to, the Consortium of Non- Traditional Security Studies (NTS-Asia) was established. I was asked to give also a keynote address there. They wanted me to talk about my own experience in the Commission of Human Security which issued its report “Human Security Now” on the 1st of May, 5 years ago, 2003. And my involvement in another commission earlier called the Commission on State Sovereignty and Intervention. Later on that Commission issued a report entitled “Responsibility to Protect/R2P”. The two commissions complemented each other. The one on security and intervention focused on violence, focused on child soldiers, landmines, small arms, small bombs which together killed more people around the world than major wars. But they were focusing on the issue of violence and protection and they were hinting towards an idea that would be perceived to be eroding state sovereignty.
