ASEAN, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, was created in 1967 as a political group to strengthen the power and increase growth and development in 12 member nations.
The main goals of ASEAN include improving the economies of member countries, as well as protection and peace between the neighboring nations. The unification of these primarily smaller nations helps them to protect themselves and each other from outside conflicts. In fact, the original organization was formed to prevent the spread of communism in the 1960s. Much like other regional organization, ASEAN also seeks to promote progress and develop local cultures. Cultural activities range from athletic events to awards in literature.
