3. Consistent with ASEAN Vision 2020, ASEAN is envisioned as a concert of Southeast Asian nations,
outward-looking, living in peace, stability and prosperity, bonded together in partnership in dynamic
development and in a community of caring societies. Development and achievement of enhanced
ASEAN Connectivity will need a common ASEAN vision with a long-term and sustainable approach for
Connectivity, taking into consideration the need to promote local economic and social development and
connectivity, mitigating environmental impacts, and synchronising domestic connectivity with regional
connectivity. The vision of an enhanced ASEAN Connectivity will strengthen the ASEAN motto of “One
Vision, One Identity, One Community” and address the baseline situation, the policy options, the funding
mechanisms, and the implementation arrangements. It would also take into account the differentiated
responsibilities and competencies of ASEAN and its Member States.
