ASEAN Political- Security Community (APSC) Blueprint and its Characteristics
The APSC Blueprint is guided by the ASEAN Charter and the principles and purposes contained therein. It provides roadmap and timetable to establish the APSC by 2015. It also leaves room for flexibility to continue programmes/ activities beyond 2015 in order to retain its significance and have an enduring quality. Therefore, the APSC Blueprint was adopted by the ASEAN Leaders at the 14th ASEAN Summit on 1 March, 2009 in Cha-Am/ Hua Hin, Thailand.
