Assalamualaikum and Salam Sejahtera,

Dear all,

First of all, we would like to apologize of what happened during the trial quiz on 25th February due to heavy traffic to access the ASEAN quiz online system. Our technical team is working on this and upgrade the system to its best.

Therefore, considering feedback and requests from many participants who would like to sit for the trial again, attached below is the timetable for the second trial in which we have categorized it into 4 Zones . Therefore participants will only login according to the designated time and states given.

The main purpose for trial is to ensure participants successfully log in into the online quiz and to go through sample questions as preparation for the real quiz on 11 March 2014. Therefore, participants need not to worry of their result on trial quiz as it will not be counted.

Thank you. Your Cooperation is highly appreciated.

ASEAN Charter

Source: www.asean.org 

The ASEAN Charter serves as a firm foundation in achieving the ASEAN Community by providing legal status and institutional framework for ASEAN. It also codifies ASEAN norms, rules and values; sets clear targets for ASEAN; and presents accountability and compliance.

The ASEAN Charter entered into force on 15 December 2008. A gathering of the ASEAN Foreign Ministers was held at the ASEAN Secretariat in Jakarta to mark this very historic occasion for ASEAN.

With the entry into force of the ASEAN Charter, ASEAN will henceforth operate under a new legal framework and establish a number of new organs to boost its community-building process.

In effect, the ASEAN Charter has become a legally binding agreement among the 10 ASEAN Member States. It will also be registered with the Secretariat of the United Nations, pursuant to Article 102, Paragraph 1 of the Charter of the United Nations.

The importance of the ASEAN Charter can be seen in the following contexts:

• New political commitment at the top level
• New and enhanced commitments
• New legal framework, legal personality
• New ASEAN bodies
• Two new openly-recruited DSGs
• More ASEAN meetings
• More roles of ASEAN Foreign Ministers
• New and enhanced role of the Secretary-General of ASEAN
• Other new initiatives and changes

ASEAN readies to provide relief to the Philippines; offers assistance to Viet Nam

on Tuesday, 12 November 2013. Posted in 2013, ASEAN Secretariat News

JAKARTA, 12 November 2013 ­ The ASEAN Coordinating Centre for Humanitarian Assistance on disaster management (AHA Centre) together with the ASEAN Secretariat, ASEAN Committee of Permanent Representatives, ASEAN Defence Attaches, and ASEAN Dialogue Partners today convenes at the AHA Centre to discuss collaborative efforts in response to typhoon Haiyan emergencies in the Philippines and situation in Viet Nam.

"Within this week, ASEAN aims to distribute relief items including generators, mobile storage, and ASEAN Family Kits urgently needed to Tacloban.  We are focusing on the most desperately needed food and clean water. The AHA Centre has stockpile ready to go. Local procurement is also underway. A key impediment is logistics, as the airport was destroyed," stated ASEAN Secretary-General and ASEAN Humanitarian Assistance Coordinator H.E. Le Luong Minh.  Earlier, Secretary-General Minh has offered assistance to the Government of the Philippines in response to the devastation brought about by Haiyan.

“Knowing the impacts of the typhoon, this is the time for ASEAN to work together in the spirit of ASEAN's solidarity in mobilising assets and resources to provide our support to the government and people of the Philippines in this critical moment,” Said Faisal, the Executive Director of AHA Centre explained. “The meeting today is a follow up of our early response to and assessment activities in the Philippines. After receiving the information from the field and the Government of the Philippines, we are moving forward with providing emergency assistance,” said Faisal.

AHA Centre has been closely monitoring the movement of the typhoon and put a field team on the ground before the typhoon landed on 8 November. Assessment and additional teams have been on the ground to determine the type of assistance that can be mobilised through the ASEAN’s channel.

Meanwhile, after leaving a trail of destruction in the Philippines, typhoon Haiyan hit Viet Nam on 10 November with heavy rains and strong wind and ASEAN is preparing to expand its relief operations to cover both countries. The Secretary-General has written to Vietnamese Foreign Minister H. E. Pham Binh Minh to convey his sympathy to the Vietnamese people and to offer ASEAN’s support.

“We are one community and ASEAN expresses its solidarity with the Vietnamese people in these times of calamity,” ASEAN Secretary-General told the Minister. “ASEAN stands ready to assist Viet Nam if requested, and will continue to work closely with the AHA Centre to facilitate ASEAN’s response to assist Viet Nam in the ongoing response to the disaster,” Secretary-General Minh added.

Typhoon Haiyan made its landfall in Viet Nam on Sunday which prompted the Government to issue public alerts in provinces expected to be hit by the typhoon. Information from the AHA Centre indicated that on Saturday the Government of Viet Nam evacuated over 800,000 people from Thanh Hoa to Phu Yen provinces. The Central Committee for Flood and Storm Control reported two (2) deaths and more than 120 houses damaged in Qung Ninh province. Assessment is still ongoing and the number of casualties and loss will be known later.

"The Government of Viet Nam should be applauded for having successfully protected its people from what could have been a much greater pain.  Over 800,000 citizens have been evacuated," added Secretary-General Minh. "Further, even while facing their own situation, Viet Nam has pledged its support to its fellow ASEAN Member State, the Philippines," he said.

The AHA Centre conducts its day-to-day operations in Jakarta, Indonesia. As mandated by the ASEAN Agreement on Disaster Management and Emergency Response, the Centre serves as the regional hub for disaster risk monitoring and analysis, and a coordination engine to ensure ASEAN’s fast and collective response to disasters within the region.
