Bao Thy: Dad, I’m thinking of participating in a competition on ASEAN and the ASEAN Charter. I can see that my classmates have practised answering the questions. They know a lot more and are more confident than me.
Mr Lam: Oh, is that why you look worried? I can help you. First, what is ASEAN?
Bao Thy: Well, I know that ASEAN stands for the Association of Southeast Asian Nations and it was formed on August 8th 1967.
Mr Lam: Correct. How many members does it have?
Bao Thy: As of 2010, it consists of ten member states, but may get bigger because other countries have applied to join the bloc.
Mr Lam: Well done. Do you know its aims and purposes?
Bao Thy: I know that it focuses on improving member states’ economies and maintaining regional peace and stability. But Dad, how do ASEAN members help each other?
Mr Lam: Well, they do what they can. Singapore, for example, offers the Singapore Scholarship and the ASEAN Scholarships to students from other ASEAN countries.
Bao Thy: Thanks, Dad. I’ll try to remember that. I think that ASEAN also holds sports activities like the Southeast Asian Games, the ASEAN Para Games for athletes with disabilities and the ASEAN Schools Games.
Mr Lam: Good job. How about the ASEAN Charter? Do you remember its main principles?
Bao Thy: Hold on a minute. Mmm … is that the ‛Right to live without external interference’?
Mr Lam: Yes, but there are still other principles. I suggest reading through the Charter again. I’ll continue quizzing you tonight after work.
Bao Thy: Great! Thanks, Dad. I’m now hoping to win a prize!
