Getting to know The ASEAN Way

The ASEAN way is the principles and norms that guide interactions between ASEAN member countries. These principles include non-interference in the internal affairs of other member states, peaceful resolution of disputes, and decision-making based on consensus.

The ASEAN way is recognized as having helped maintain peace and stability in Southeast Asia for more than 50 years.

The ASEAN way is based on the belief that Southeast Asian countries are equal and sovereign. Every country has the right to determine its own internal affairs without interference from other countries.

The ASEAN method also emphasizes the importance of resolving disputes peacefully and through dialogue. This has helped prevent conflict between ASEAN member countries and created a more stable and prosperous region.
