1. Fulfilling ASEAN commitments – ASEAN
leaders have met regularly over the past 40
years and established mutual trust and understanding as well as many useful programmes
for cooperation. They have made landmark
Declarations such as the ASEAN Declaration on
the Protection and Promotion of the Rights of
Migrant Workers and the ASEAN Declaration
on Social Protection. Implementing these
Declarations through a common understanding
at the regional and national levels could be key
to the AEC’s success.
