CHAPTER 1: VISION, GOALS AND OBJECTIVES OF ASEAN CONNECTIVITY
1. Enhancing intra-regional connectivity promotes economic growth, narrows the development gaps by sharing the benefits of growth with poorer groups and communities, enhances the competitiveness of ASEAN, and connects its Member States within the region and with the rest of the world.
2. The concept of ASEAN Connectivity would complement and support integration within ASEAN and within the broader regional framework in East Asia and beyond. The deepening and widening of connectivity in the region would reinforce ASEAN’s position as the hub of the East Asia region and preserve the centrality of ASEAN, which could further be strengthened through realising the potentials of a broader connectivity in the longer term with its partners in the wider region. Figure 1.1 below illustrates the vision and goals of ASEAN Connectivity.
Vision
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.
Goals
4. The Master Plan on ASEAN Connectivity is envisaged to connect ASEAN through enhanced physical infrastructure development (physical connectivity), effective institutional arrangements (institutional connectivity) and empowered people (people-to-people connectivity). Building an enhanced ASEAN Connectivity requires not only the development of new strategies and institutions, but also investment in more effective implementation of existing and future initiatives.
5. The goals of enhanced ASEAN Connectivity are:
• To enhance integration and cooperation of ASEAN;
• To enhance global competitiveness of ASEAN through stronger production networks;
• To enhance the well-being and livelihood of ASEAN peoples;
• To enhance rules and good governance for ASEAN;
• To enhance connections to economic centres both within the ASEAN region and within individual Member States and narrow the development gaps;
• To enhance local economic and social development;
• To enhance efforts to tackle climate change as well as promote sustainable development; and
• To address the negative impacts of Connectivity.
