Phnom Penh, 30th March – 4th April 2012

This year, Cambodia has a great honour and responsibility for the second time in ASEAN’s history to hold the rotating chairmanship of the Association in the context of an evolving interconnected world, in a fast changing region, and in a remarkably moving Cambodia. While ASEAN is commemorating its 45th Anniversary, this year marks also the 10th anniversary of the Kingdom’s chairmanship a decade ago.

The 20th ASEAN Summit and Related Meetings in Phnom Penh have just been successfully held from 30th March to 4th April 2012. It has been noted with satisfaction that the outcomes of the Summit and Related Meetings underlined significant progress in our concerted efforts in moving forward to the realisation of the ASEAN Community by 2015.

The ASEAN Leaders adopted “Phnom Penh Declaration on ASEAN: One Community, One Destiny” reflecting the will of the ASEAN peoples to continue working together to build the ASEAN Community with the vision of “One Destiny” for all peoples. Especially, the Leaders adopted “Phnom Penh Agenda for ASEAN Community Building,” reiterating their firm commitments to work together to ensure Cambodia’s Chairmanship in 2012 a great success that certainly contribute to our ultimate goals of achieving the ASEAN Community by 2015.
