ASEAN is committed to build a Community by 2015. To realise this goal, a
community of enhanced connectivity is essential because a well connected ASEAN, from its
transportation networks to its peoples, will contribute towards a more competitive and
resilient ASEAN as it will bring peoples, goods, services and capital closer together. This
will ensure continued peace and prosperity for its peoples. This Master Plan on ASEAN
Connectivity is a key step towards realising this vision.
