DOHA 08 August 2024 — The Embassy of the Republic of the Philippines in the State of Qatar joins in the commemoration of the 57th founding anniversary of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations or ASEAN.

This year’s #ASEAN57 celebration bears the theme, “Connected and Resilient Community.”

ASEAN was founded on this day 57 years ago to promote the economic, social, and cultural development of the region through cooperative programs in order to safeguard the political and economic stability of the region, and to serve as a forum for the resolution of intra-regional differences.

In the Philippines, Proclamation No. 282 (series of 2017) declares the month of August of every year as “ASEAN Month” to recall the establishment of ASEAN and underscore its significance.
