The ASEAN Secretariat and parliamentarians from Morocco and Norway will also be present as guests of the host. 2 The theme for the 39th AIPA GA is “Towards a Resilient and Innovative Community”, which mirrors the theme of Singapore’s Chairmanship of ASEAN – “Resilient and Innovative”. This symbiosis with ASEAN reflects AIPA’s common concerns and vision for the people of our respective countries and our desire to align ourselves closely to the longer-term common goals of ASEAN. 3 As the AIPA President this year, Mr Tan Chuan-Jin, Speaker of the Parliament of Singapore, will be presiding over the 39th AIPA GA, including the plenary sessions. Mr Charles Chong, Deputy Speaker of the Parliament of Singapore, will be leading the Singapore delegation of parliamentarians (see Appendix A). 4 On 4 September 2018, leaders of the AIPA GA delegations paid a call on Mr Tan, during which it was agreed that AIPA has and will continue to play an important role as a conduit between the people of ASEAN nations and ASEAN. 5 As AIPA parliamentarians, Singapore’s delegates will also be chairing and participating in the meetings of six Committees tasked to look into specific matters (see Appendix B).

Mr Khaw Boon Wan: The "practical steps and mechanisms" for passages by vessels are implemented within the framework of international law, including the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea or UNCLOS. Freedom of navigation, including navigation by Singapore-registered civilian vessels, is a fundamental element of that framework. This freedom of navigation enables vessels to ply their trade to different parts of the world, including through vital sea lines of communication in the South China Sea. More recently, ASEAN Member States and China have also reaffirmed their commitment to the freedom of navigation and overflight above the South China Sea in accordance with universally recognised principles of international law, including UNCLOS.
