As ASEAN Chair, Vietnam has made positive contributions to a number of programmes to cement ties among regional countries and proposed policy on assisting people in distress at sea.
Indonesian Foreign Minister Marty Natalegawa told reporters on the sidelines of the 17th ASEAN Summit and related meetings on October 28.
Indonesia will take over the ASEAN Chairmanship from Vietnam next year, and the country will continue to deploy initiatives and proposals put forward at the 17th Summit, the FM said.
As a result, the Indonesian government will create opportunities to enhance cooperation in achieving ASEAN’s vision and successfully building an ASEAN Community by 2015, Mr. Natalegawa said.
The Indonesian diplomat described the participation of the US and Russia at the East Asia Summit (EAS) as “dynamic equilibrium” with ASEAN acting as the hub.
According to FM Natalegawa, “Connectivity in ASEAN is a prerequisite, a requirement before having a wider connectivity”.
There are more than 700 projects in ASEAN to promote internal connectivity as well as projects to boost regional connectivity within the EAS, he said.
He also emphasised that ASEAN must not lose its leadership in the face of increased participation of powerful countries in the region.
