ASEAN Gala Dinner 2015
ASEAN is represented by ten (10) countries; Malaysia,
Brunei, Singapore, Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand,
Myanmar, Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos, PDR. The
Member States’ unity and support for the endeavors of
ASEAN is embodied in the ASEAN flag. The colors of the
Flag – blue, red, white and yellow – represent the main
colors of the flags of all the ASEAN Member States,
symbolizing a united and dynamic ASEAN. The blue
represents peace and stability. Red depicts courage and
dynamism, white shows purity and yellow symbolizes
prosperity. The stalks of padi in the center of the
Emblem represent the dream of ASEAN's Founding
Fathers for an ASEAN comprising all the countries in
Southeast Asia, bound together in friendship and
solidarity and finally, the circle represents the unity of
ASEAN.
On November 2014, Malaysia Prime Minister Dato’ Sri
Najib Razak in accepting the Chairman of ASEAN from
Myanmar President Thein Sein articulated the vision of
“People Centered ASEAN.”
The ASEAN motto this year is “One Vision, One Identity,
One Community” and appropriately, the ASEAN 2015
logo represents
1) the ten curved elements around ASEAN logo
represents the harmony, close partnership and
aspiration of the people from the ten ASEAN countries
achieving shared vision,
2) the atomic molecular loop denotes the progress
in science and technology bringing economic and
prosperity and
3) the multiple colors represents the diversity of talents
in propelling the countries forward. The launch of the
AEC at the end of 2015 will be one of Malaysia’s priority
to ensure the successful implementation of AEC and
raising the profile of AEtowards the full integration with
the global economy.
The year 2015 is the milestone for both Malaysia and
ASEAN’s standing, as it is in a strong position to push
through important features of the AEC and set forth
the strategy for the 10 years post AEC phase of ASEAN
community. The Gala Dinner will be an excellent
avenue for Malaysia, Chairman of ASEAN, and the rest
of the ASEAN Ambassadors in unison articulating the
AEC vision and advancing the trade and commerce
partnerships with the United States of America.
The ASEAN Gala Dinner 2015 is a celebration
to laud the Chairmanship of Malaysia and to
herald the integration of ASEAN Economic
Community (AEC) in December 2015. The
inaugural Gala Dinner will be hosted in
Washington, DC.
