ASEAN Anniversary Forum 2012 Volume 3 2012 ISSN 2289-1277 ASEAN Anniversary Forum 2012 ASEAN. This is very essential to cultivate awareness amongst ASEAN people on issues related closely to them. The Deputy Foreign Minister, Se- nator A. Kohilan Pillay, delivered an address on behalf of the Foreign Minister. Senator Kohilan spoke on ASEAN Community 2015: A People- Centred ASEAN, believing that the Asia Pacific region will continue to be the main engine for global eco- nomic growth in the years to come.

A: The Secretariat can be best described as the “heart of ASEAN”, its central mechanism. It is the only Organ of ASEAN which has an “exclusively ASEAN character”. By this, I mean that while all ten ASEAN member states through their natio- nal secretariats and representatives such as the Committee of Permanent Representatives (CPR) represent the interests of the member states, the ASEAN Secretariat, on the other hand, represents the holistic interests of ASEAN as an organisation and community. Its importance and the commitments that the ten ASEAN accelerate political and socio-cultural role should grow as ASEAN’s own governments have agreed to at cooperation to protect our people. role in the region and in the global the ASEAN level and learn how to community of nations expands. resolve our differences expeditiously.

I have pointed out that this Rohingya problem should NOT be viewed exclusively as a “Muslim” issue. It also has clear constitutional, humanitarian and human rights dimensions. Daw Aung San Suu Kyi as much as the Government of Myanmar have interests to manage a difficult issue with justice and care. I have warned recently that this issue has geopolitical implications that affect all countries if the Rakhine coast is radicalized. This will not be good for Myanmar, ASEAN and the international community. 2 | [email protected] PROFILE OF PROMINENT PERSON Q: If there is one thing that ASEAN can Dr. Surin Pitsuwan, Secretary to Deputy Minister of Interior, learn from the European Union, what born on 28 October Deputy Minister for Foreign Affairs during would it be? 1949, is a native of Na- 1992-1995 and Minister of Foreign Affairs korn Sri Thammarat, from 1997 to 2001.
