cooperation covers the areas of trade, investment, and industry, services, transportation and communication, intellectual
property, small and medium enterprises, and tourism.

As we celebrate ASEAN week, let us join hands to initiate and implement programs and activities to generate
awareness and public support for the objectives of the association and to apply them in our country; to promote peace and
stability through abiding respect for justice and the rule of the law, and to observe the spirit of equality and partnership in
