The AC is composed of 3 pillars:
ASEAN Political-Security Community (APSC)
ASEAN Economic Community (AEC)
ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community (ASCC):
The AC would promote a public understanding of ASEAN cultural similarities and differences, which would result in an acknowledgement and mutual respect, friendship, solidarity, and unity within a community of caring societies. The AC would also promote development and well being of ASEAN people.
