Foundation of ASEAN : 

This organization was founded on August 8, 1967. In it, member countries Thailand, Myanmar, Indonesia, Brunei, Laos, Malaysia, Cambodia, Singapore, Vietnam, Phillippines are included. All these are South East Asian countries. South East Asia is very important from political and geographical point of view. After world war II, due to the decline of contemporary world power of Britain, this area experienced a power vacuum, and China began to fill this void. Due to China’s expansionist policy, all big and small countries in South East Asia began to harbour suspicion against China. In 1949, communist rule was founded in China, whose direct or indirect influence is seen on this area. These countries adopting the way of neutrality against China’s expansionist and communist policy, emphasized on mutual cooperation. So to give pace to mutual economic co-operation, they established ASEAN.
