Master Plan on ASEAN Connectivity 2025

ASEAN, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, was established on 8 August 1967 in Bangkok,

Thailand, with the signing of th

e ASEAN Declaration (

Bangkok Declaration) by the Founding Fathers

of ASEAN, namely Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore and Thailand. Brunei Darussalam then

joined on 7 January 1984, Viet Nam on 28 July 1995, Lao PDR and Myanmar on 23 July 1997, and

Cambodia on 30 April 1999, making up what is today the ten Member States of ASEAN. In 2015, the

ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) was established, a further step towards regional economic

integration.

On 6 September 2016, the ASEAN Leaders adopted the

Master Plan on ASEAN Connectivity 2025

(MPAC

2025) in Vientiane, Lao PDR. The MPAC 2025, which succeeds the Master Plan on ASEAN Connectivity

2010, focuses on five strategic areas: sustainable infrastructure, digital innovation, seamless logistics,

regulatory excellence and people mobility. The focus of the MPAC 2015 is the promotion of maritime

connectivity amongst ASEAN Member States.

ASEAN is situated in South-East Asia and consists of ten countries, as illustrated in

Figure 7.3:

Brunei

Darussalam, Cambodia, Indonesia, Lao PDR, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and

Viet Nam. The total population of the ASEAN countries in 2016 was more than 634 million. Because of

Indonesia and Philippines, ASEAN has many islands and connectivity is a major challenge for economic

growth and integration. In this connectivity, maritime connections play a crucial role. The important

corridors in ASEAN include mostly a maritime link.
