| Striving Together: ASEAN and the UN traces the evolution of ASEAN from a grouping of five countries in 1967 to a dynamic regional body that has kept the peace among its ten member States and built a series of expanding partnerships and dialogues with other Asia-Pacific countries, Europe and the United States of America. It reviews ASEAN's progress with regional integration by looking at the convergence/divergence among its member States on key economic and social indicators of development. The analysis identifies the development gaps that ASEAN needs to close, especially between its poorer and richer members, to achieve the vision of an 'ASEAN Community'. Describing the UN family's partnership with ASEAN for more than four decades, the book highlights areas in which the partnership could be deepened in the coming years. Prepared jointly by 30 UN agencies and affiliates under the UN Asia-Pacific Regional Coordination Mechanism (RCM), the book was officially presented to ASEAN Leaders by the UN Secretary-General at the Third ASEAN-UN Summit on 29 October 2010 in Ha Noi, Viet Nam. |
