ASEAN ECONOMIC COMUNITY

ASEAN has emphasized regional cooperation
in the three pillars of security, sociocultural
and economic integration. The regional
grouping has made the most progress in
economic integration, aiming to create an
ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) by 2015.
The AEC would have a combined population of
over 560 million and total trade exceeding
US$ 1,400 billion.

Since its start about a decade ago, the
partnership between India and the ASEAN
nation has been developing at quite a fast
pace.
India became a sectoral dialogue partner of
ASEAN in 1992. Mutual interest led ASEAN to
invite India to become its full dialogue partner
during the fifth ASEAN Summit in Bangkok in
1995.

Agreement (FTA) with the ASEAN members in
