ASEAN, officially an abbreviation of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, is a political and economic union of 10 member states in Southeast Asia. It has a population of over 600 million and covers an area of 4.5 million km2 (1.7 million sq mi). ASEAN generated a purchasing power parity (PPP) gross domestic product (GDP) of around US$10.2 trillion in 2022, constituting approximately 6.5% of global GDP (PPP).

ASEAN's primary objectives are:
  1. to accelerate economic growth, social progress and cultural development in the region; and
  2. to promote regional peace and stability through abiding respect for justice and the rule of law in the relationship among countries in the region and adherence to the principles of the United Nations Charter.

Sep 20, 2023 All ten member states of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, or ASEAN, are joining > naval maneuvers. Indonesia's military says the five days of drills will practice military skills including maritime security and patrols, distribution of humanitarian assistance, and disaster relief. They will not be practicing combat operations.

The defence ministry said the aircraft, including nuclear-capable bombers, entered its air defence identification zone (ADIZ) in two waves. Taiwan responded by scrambling its jets and deploying missile systems. China sees democratic Taiwan as a breakaway province, but Taiwan sees itself as a sovereign state. Taiwan has been complaining for more than a year about repeated missions by China's air force near the island.
