BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN: Brunei Darussalam is looking forward to
next year when the country will have the honour of being the Association of
Southeast Asian Nations’ (Asean) chairman, Borneo Bulletin reported.
“We will be working with our
partners to do all we can to strengthen and deepen the feelings among the 600
million people of our region that Asean offers them hope, confidence and
purpose as they face the challenges and demands of the modern world,” said His
Majesty the Sultan and Yang Di-Pertuan of Brunei Darussalam in a message in
conjunction with Asean Day 2012.
Following is the full text of His
Majesty’s message:
Asean Day is a special moment in
the year when the Member States of our regional association honour the vision
and wisdom of the Founding Fathers who signed the Bangkok Declaration 45 years
ago today.
At the same time, we celebrate
more than a moment in history.
We reaffirm the principles,
values and common understandings that have shaped the association’s work over
the 45 years.
Together, these have made
Southeast Asia more than a geographical location. They have defined its people
as a community of nations with an approach to regional and international
affairs that transcends different histories and backgrounds.
The result has been a recognition
of common interests, a search for shared agreement through consultation and
consensus, and a deep respect for each other.
This is what has made Asean
unique. It is why Brunei Darussalam is proud to be a member and, above all
else, it is what we celebrate on Asean Day.
At the same time, we are looking
forward to next year when we will have the honour of being the association’s
chairman.
We will be working with our
partners to do all we can to strengthen and deepen the feelings among the six
hundred million people of our region that Asean offers them hope, confidence
and purpose as they face the challenges and demands of the modern world.
In this spirit, the people of
Brunei Darussalam join me in sending our warmest Asean Day greetings to our
respected friends and neighbours throughout the region.
