in Jakarta, Indonesia. The founding members of the ASSC are Indonesia, Malaysia,
Singapore and Thailand. The current ten member countries include Brunei
Darussalam, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Philippines, and Vietnam.
In 2004, the
ASSC secretariat was formed. Each member country was to preside over the
