Introduction to ASEAN 

Extracted from Hwa Chong Model ASEAN Summit Concept Paper. 2006. 

Today, ASEAN is not only a well-functioning, indispensable reality in the region. It is a real 

force to be reckoned with far beyond the region. It is also a trusted partner of the United 

Nations in the field of development…" 

Kofi Annan 

Secretary-General of the United Nations 

16 February 2000 

(Taken from the ASEAN Secretariat web site, 2006) 

In his book, “Can Asians Think”, Kishore Mahbubani referred to the Association of South East 

Asian Nations (ASEAN) as “one of the most underrated organizations of contemporary times” 

(Mahbubani, 1998, pg. 157). Its unique role in strengthening the consolidated position of 

Southeast Asian countries has often been neglected. 

Since the conclusion of World War 2, Southeast Asia has been described by regional experts as 

the “Balkans” of Asia – a region of diverse race, religion, language, culture, history and 

geography, according to former Singapore Ambassador to the UN, Kishore Mahbubani 

(Mahbubani, 2005, pg. 208). 

Founded in 1967 by five original Member Countries in Bangkok; Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, 

Singapore and Thailand, ASEAN has since grown to incorporate a total of 10 South East Asian 

nations. Against the backdrop of communist insurgency and the need to accelerate “economic 

growth, social progress and cultural development”, ASEAN was born. However, ASEAN was 

bound by a common need for “stability and growth to counter and deny the communists the 

social and economic conditions for revolution” (Lee, 2000, pg. 369). It took ten years before 

ASEAN developed cohesion and direction in its activities, built upon an organization which 

worked upon the principles of no interference, but took into consideration the interests of 

others, as mentioned by Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew in his memoirs, From Third World to 

First (Lee, 2000, pg. 370). 

This concept was further reiterated by Kishore Mahbubani; he opined that in the crucial early 

years, “all members realized that ASEAN could not succeed if any of its members tried to 

dominate the proceedings…each would have to be sensitive to the interests of others”. The 

seeds for future success as a regional body by developing consensus were thus sown. Moreover, 


when consensus was not achieved, countries tried to settle for a compromise or a promise of 

cooperation (Lee, 2000, pg. 372). As of today, the ASEAN system of consensus has “generated 

mutual trust and comfort” amongst its Member Countries, more so than any other organisation 

(Mahbubani, 1998, pg. 159-160). 

ASEAN solidarity has been put to the test on various occasions, most notably during the 

Vietnamese occupation of Cambodia from 1978 to 1991 and it was spearheaded by the efforts 

of the late former Minister for Foreign Affairs, Mr. S. Rajaratnam. It involved striking a balance 

between maintaining the unity of ASEAN by opposing the interests and policies of Thailand and 

Indonesia while being successful in the isolation of Vietnam at the UN and international 

gatherings, as recounted by Minister Mentor Lee (Lee, 2000, pg. 374). This best illustrates the 

intricate balance between persevering and regional consensus while maintaining national 

interests, illustrating the art of diplomacy and negotiation at its best. 

From the ASEAN Secretariat web site (2006): 

“The ASEAN Declaration states that the aims and purposes of the Association are: (1) 

to accelerate economic growth, social progress and cultural development in the region and (2) 

to promote regional peace and stability through abiding respect for justice and the rule of law 

in the relationship among countries in the region and adherence to the principles of the 

United Nations Charter.” 

By the mid 1980s, ASEAN had evolved to become “the most dynamic region of the developing 

world”. The Member Countries’ “growing economic dynamism made them attractive as 

economic political partners…(ASEAN) grew into a coherent organisation with a common voice 

on major issues, leading more countries to join as its dialogue partners at annual meetings” 

(Lee, 2000, pg. 382). ASEAN holds regular dialogues with major powers, including the “+3” 

partners (China, Japan & South Korea – see Appendix D) the United States and Australia 

(Mahbubani, 2005, pg. 138-139). These countries, including China and the United States, play a 

pivotal role in the balance of power in the region, and also, dialogues with these countries 

have provided ASEAN with opportunities to develop its diplomacy skills (Dzafir, 2005, pg. 261). 

Singapore through the decades, has worked towards three major achievements (Singapore’s 

permanent interests) namely, the protection of Singapore sovereignty and independence, the 

fostering of ASEAN cooperation and the maintenance of a stable balance of power in Southeast 

Asia, as outlined by Minister for Home Affairs, Mr. Wong Kan Seng, in the collection, The Little 

Red Dot: Reflections by Singapore’s Diplomats. He emphasized that ASEAN’s emergence “as a 

viable and credible regional organisation is unique in the Third World” and it is easy to take 

ASEAN and good relations with our neighbors for granted, that “stability is not a natural state 


of affairs, but the result of conscious policy decisions…to seek accommodation and 

compromise…to ensure peace and stability in the region” (Wong, 2005, pg. 52). 

In the post Cold-War era, ASEAN cooperation has been strengthened with the establishment of 

several plans and programmes in tandem with the key pillars of ASEAN (ASEAN Economic 

Community, ASEAN Socio-cultural Community & ASEAN Security Community) that have bore 

fruit including ASEAN Tourism (the branding of ASEAN as a single tourism region), the signing of 

the Treaty on the Southeast Asia Nuclear Weapon-Free Zone and the establishment ASEAN Free 

Trade Area (AFTA) in January 1992 (see Appendix C). 

2003 saw ASEAN Leaders coming together, resolving that an ASEAN Community shall be 

established comprising three pillars: the ASEAN Security Community, ASEAN Economic 

Community and ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community. 

Outside the European Union, ASEAN has remained as one of the strongest associations of 

nations representing a successful form of regional cooperation. In the UN, ASEAN has played an 

important role in strengthening and safeguarding the consolidated position and varied interests 

of its Member Countries. This unique position of this entity has since been further recognized 

by the international community – 4 th December 2006 marked the day ASEAN was accorded with 

United Nations (UN) Observer Status by the United Nations (UN), supported by over 70 

countries in the General Assembly (ASEAN Secretariat, 2006). 


Rationale 

The ASEAN Vision 2020, adopted by the ASEAN Leaders on the 30th Anniversary of ASEAN, 

agreed on the vision proposed of “a concert of Southeast Asian nations, outward looking, living 

in peace, stability and prosperity, bonded together in partnership in dynamic development 

and in a community of caring societies” (ASEAN Secretariat, 2006). 

In tandem with the ASEAN Vision 2020, Model ASEAN aims to replicate the workings of ASEAN, 

the cooperation between Member Countries, as well as recognise the contributions which this 

association has made to the progress of the South East Asian region and presenting itself as a 

consolidated association of regional countries on the world stage. At the same time, it aims to 

simulate real-world workings of diplomacy and negotiation. 

Model ASEAN aims to observe the existing Fundamental Principles adopted by existing ASEAN 

nations (ASEAN Secretariat, 2006), which are as follow: 

“mutual respect for the independence, sovereignty, equality, territorial integrity, and 

national identity of all nations; 

the right of every State to lead its national existence free from external interference, 

subversion or coercion; 

non-interference in the internal affairs of one another; 

settlement of differences or disputes by peaceful manner; 

renunciation of the threat or use of force; and 

effective cooperation among themselves”

Summit Flow 

The Structure of the Model ASEAN Summit 

The Hwa Chong Model ASEAN Summit is a simulation of the ASEAN Summit and, it 

models itself after the real-world workings of ASEAN at different official levels – Work Group, 

Director-General, Senior Official, Ministerial and, last but not least, the leaders level. The 8th 

Model ASEAN Summit will address issues from 5 main Committees- Economics, Human Rights, 

Environment, Peace and Security and Special Committee. 

A group of 12 delegates attending the summit will represent one member country and 

each member country is represented by two delegates in each of the Committees. Delegates 

will role-play diverse subsets of a real ASEAN Summit. 

The summit will kick off with the ministers of each Committee coming together for a 

pre-summit retreat. Delegates will then role play members of the work group and engage in 

the drafting of the declarations. Upon completion of the Declaration, delegates will role-play 

Director-Generals. They will build on what the work group has achieved and come to a 

consensus if possible. Following that, delegates will assume the role of Senior Officials and 

work on other issues in another Committee before moving on as ministers who will sign the 

Declarations. The meetings will culminate into the ASEAN Summit which would involve a 

roundtable, formal discussion between the Heads of State and the ASEAN Secretariat. In a 

nutshell, delegates will get to experience the real-world workings of ASEAN at every official 

level, however, with different issues to tackle. 

PRE-SUMMIT 

Information Paper and Agenda 

Before the summit, each member country would have received the information paper, 

detailing the background of the issues at hand. The agenda of the meeting would also have 

been sent out by the Model ASEAN Secretariat. Member Countries are to prepare draft positions 

papers for different issues based on their national interest. This is to be submitted to the Model 

ASEAN Secretariat but it will not be disclosed. Each member country will also receive a country 

parameter with respect to each community. 

National Assembly 

The National Assembly would be a time for nations to determine their country’s stand. 

Countries are to use the time to come up with their Position Papers and Draft Declarations for 

all 5 Committees. Delegates are expected to use their time wisely and consolidate the 

knowledge and experiences of one another in the team to discuss these documents. 


DURING THE SUMMIT 

Position Paper and Declaration 

During the summit, delegates will participate in workshops which will impart skills and 

tips essential in drafting position papers and declarations. Delegates will work collectively as a 

nation on their position papers and declarations after each day’s proceedings. 

Debate Sessions 

Delegates will engage in debate on the draft declarations throughout the summit. The 

debate will start off with the ministerial retreat, followed by the work-group level, directorgeneral 

level, ministerial signing ceremony and finishes with the summit proper. 

Notes: 


Guide to Position Paper 

A position paper briefly outlines the national interest of the member country. It provides an 

overview of the delegate’s stand on various issues on the agenda of each Committee. The 

position paper also indicates to the Model ASEAN Summit (MAS) Secretariat of the delegation’s 

readiness for the Summit. However, the most important rationale is to serve as an important 

reminder to the delegation of their country’s stand on various issues. 

Every member country is to submit a position paper for each of the Committee prior to the 

Summit. 

Points to note for building your position paper: 

a. Each position paper is to be kept at a minimum length of 1 page and a maximum length 

of 2 pages, in “Times New Roman” at a 10 point font size, and single-space. 

b. Layout of position paper: 

• Name of country you are representing: Top left corner. 

• Name of your school: Top right corner. 

(It is not necessary to put your name anywhere as you will be recognized as a delegate of 

your represented country throughout the summit.) 

• Name of your Committee: At centre and underlined. 

• The following sentence is to be used in every single position paper as an opening 

statement: 

“The issues before (your Committee name) are: (list all topics to be discussed in the 

position paper). 

• The actual body of the paper on each topic should contain the following: 

⇒ 

⇒ 

⇒ 

⇒ 

⇒ 

⇒ 

⇒ 

The number of the topic. The topic area should be in bold and underlined. 

A general sentence clearly stating the country’s position (e.g. The Republic of 

Singapore strongly believes that security . . .). 

An elaboration of the position (e.g. may use quotes from past agreements, from ASEAN 

Charter, or any other international documents relevant to the topic). 

References to the member country’s past experiences with regards to the issue at 

hand. 

Your member country’s current policies toward each of issues. If your country’s policies 

have changed over time, explain why this has occurred. 

Your state’s proposed solutions to the problems for issues. 

Conclusion – restate the country’s position on the topic. 

c. Do not use the first person address in your paper. Use expressions such as “our 

government”, “our country”, or the name of your country, etc. 


Heading 

The date is written towards the left followed by the title in bold. 

Guide to Declaration 

Body 

The declaration is written in the form of a long sentence. Just as grammatical rules make a 

language more uniform in its usage, so is the declaration in its format. 

The declaration consists of clauses with the first clause in bold. 

The next section comprises the Preambulatory Clauses, which describes the problem that is 

being addressed, recalls past actions taken, explains the purpose of the declaration, and offers 

support for the operative clauses that follows. Each clause in the preamble begins with an 

underlined word and ends with a comma. 

Operative Clauses are numbered and state the action to be taken by the body. All of these 

clauses begin with present tense, active verbs, which are generally stronger than those used in 

the Preamble. Each operative clause is followed by a semicolon except the last, which ends 

with a period. 

Ending 

The declaration ends with the signatures of the Heads of State. 

Declaration Introductory Phrases 

The following tables indicate phrases that are suitable for beginning preambulatory and 

operative clauses, and are not exhaustive.
