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.
