Chapter 760: ASEAN

Time passed slowly, and a month passed quietly. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoDuring this time, the four Southeast Asian countries have been continuously putting pressure on the Republic and harming the interests of the Republic. However, the Republic turned a blind eye to these actions, and even some people from the four countries of Southeast Asia were extradited back to their respective countries after committing crimes in the Republic.

Although the Republic has turned a blind eye to the actions of several countries in Southeast Asia during this period of time, it does not mean that the Republic really does not care about the actions of several countries in Southeast Asia. During this time, the intelligence officers of the Republic were constantly searching for information about these Southeast Asian countries. As more and more information was sent back to China, the Republic of China became more and more concerned about the actions of various countries in Southeast Asia.

In the past month, not only Vietnam, Myanmar, Thailand, and Laos have stepped up their actions in Southeast Asia, but also several other countries with territorial disputes with the Republic, such as Brunei and Malaysia, have also stepped up the development and utilization of oil and gas resources in the South China Sea. Moreover, the leaders of these countries also met frequently in secret, but because of the excellent secrecy at the time of their meetings, the intelligence personnel of the Republic did not have effective information. I only know that the leaders of these countries in Southeast Asia are meeting secretly, and I don't know anything else. In order to be able to find out their movements, the Republic also secretly ordered intelligence officers to find out as much as possible about the content of their meeting. Soon, however, the intelligence officers of the republic would not have to inquire into the contents of their meeting, for the countries had held a great meeting and issued a manifesto.

Eight Southeast Asian countries participated in the meeting, including Myanmar, Vietnam, Laos, Thailand, Brunei, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Indonesia. These eight countries are all countries that are in serious contradiction with the republic. Among them, there is also a territorial dispute between Myanmar and the Republic, Vietnam, Brunei, Malaysia and the Philippines and the Republic of China have disputes over territorial waters in the South China Sea, and Indonesia and the Republic can be said to be the most serious problem. The events in Indonesia in 1998 were one of the most important causes.

At the time the news broke, the Republic maintained a fairly high level of attention. There is considerable contradiction between these countries and the republics, and these countries must be meeting now to announce something. This is not what the republic wants to see.

After all, not long after the bombing, the eight countries of Southeast Asia are now holding a meeting together, and there are considerable contradictions between these eight countries and the republic, which cannot but make the eyes of the whole world gather here. But the meeting was not as serious as expected. In fact, don't look at the meeting of several countries in Southeast Asia to discuss things, in fact, they have already discussed specific things in private, and this meeting is just to announce something.

The time soon came on the day of the meeting, and the eight countries of Southeast Asia first announced an event. The eight Southeast Asian countries participating in the meeting will establish a Association of Southeast Asian Nations, or ASEAN for short. At the same time, it announced the purpose of the establishment of ASEAN by the eight countries in Southeast Asia, which aims to maintain and promote regional peace, security and stability, and to further strengthen peace-oriented values; to enhance regional vitality by strengthening political, security, economic, and socio-cultural cooperation; to safeguard Southeast Asia's status as a nuclear-weapon-free zone and to put an end to weapons of mass destruction; to ensure that the people and member states of ASEAN live in peace with the world and to live in a just, democratic, and harmonious environment; and to build a stable, prosperous, and harmonious environment; A highly competitive and integrated common market and manufacturing base for the free flow of goods, services, investment, people and capital, poverty alleviation and narrowing of the development divide within ASEAN through mutual assistance and cooperation, strengthening democracy, promoting good governance and the law, and promoting and protecting human rights and fundamental freedoms, while taking fully into account the rights and obligations of ASEAN member States, responding effectively to all forms of threats, transnational crime and cross-border challenges in accordance with the principle of comprehensive security, promoting sustainable development and protecting the environment in the region, natural resources and cultural heritage to ensure a high quality of life for the people, development of human resources to improve the quality of the people and strengthen the sense of community through enhanced cooperation in the fields of education, lifelong learning and science and technology, to provide appropriate employment opportunities, social benefits and fair treatment for the people of ASEAN and to improve their welfare and living standards, and to strengthen cooperation to create a safe and secure environment for the people of ASEAN. A drug-free environment, building a people-centred ASEAN that encourages all sectors of society to participate in and benefit from the ASEAN integration and community-building process, enhancing awareness of the region's rich culture and heritage and promoting ASEAN awareness, and developing relations and cooperation with extra-regional partners within an open, transparent and inclusive regional architecture to maintain ASEAN's dominance, centrality and positive role. This document is known as the ASEAN Charter.

The purpose of these countries in Southeast Asia announcing the establishment of ASEAN at this time and place is obvious, that is, to confront the republic. Otherwise, there would be great contradictions between the eight Southeast Asian countries and the republics that established ASEAN, and there would not be so many coincidences in this world, and the many coincidences would have become a fact. On the surface, this ASEAN is to strengthen ties between the countries of Southeast Asia, but secretly it is to confront the republic. In fact, apart from the eight ASEAN countries, no one knew that the eight countries had privately signed a document. The overall meaning of this document is that they will further strengthen military cooperation and exchanges among the eight countries and will be unanimous in their efforts to deal with the issue of the republic.

The establishment of ASEAN heralds the further strengthening of ties between several Southeast Asian countries and also strengthens the influence of ASEAN countries in Asia and the world, especially in the face of republics. The establishment of ASEAN has seriously affected the influence of the Republic in neighboring countries, and it can be said that the establishment of ASEAN has given several Southeast Asian countries the strength to threaten the Republic, and this cannot be ignored by the Republic. It was only at this time that the Republic realized why the leaders of several Southeast Asian countries had met frequently during this period of time. In fact, as early as a few years ago, several countries in Southeast Asia intended to form an alliance in order to reduce the influence of the Republic on their countries. This bombing incident made them see the threat of the Republic to them, so the eight Southeast Asian countries were able to discuss the establishment of ASEAN in just over a month.
