Throughout these years
We have resolved
Working hard together
For a true community
The beauty of diversity
Bridging all the differences
A sense of unity

Let us move ahead
Hand in hand as one
Let the virtue stand
And face the challenges of time
Let us move ahead
Integrate as one
To an ASEAN community
Prosperity, peace and harmony
The future is ours
We have the strength
We shall find the peace
Within ourselves and with the world
And as we strive
In our resolve
Sharing this one vision of a true community
Repeat the Chorus
Repeat I except the sixth line
Repeat the Chorus two times
To an ASEAN community
Prosperity, peace and harmony

The struggle for democracy and human rights
in Burma is a struggle for life and dignity.
It is a struggle that encompasses our
political, social and economic aspirations.
The people of my country want the two
freedoms that spell security: freedom from
want and freedom from fear. (Daw Aung San Suu
Kyi, 1991 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate)

| Thai-Cambodia Dispute at ASEAN Talks |
 |
ANCHOR:
In Singapore, a smoldering border dispute
between Thailand and Cambodia grabbed the
limelight as Southeast Asian nations began
meetings with Asia-Pacific powers on economic
and security issues. Here's more.
STORY:
Foreign ministers from the Association of
South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) met with
their counterparts from China, Japan and
South Korea. Talks on regional diplomacy over
North Korea's nuclear program was certainly
on the agenda. But ASEAN was distracted away
from big-power diplomacy, due to Thailand and
Cambodia's military showdown over an
11th-century temple on the border, claimed by
both nations.
Ministers from Thailand and Cambodia briefed
their ASEAN counterparts about the situation,
after both sides sent hundreds of soldiers
and heavy artillery to the border in recent
days.
[Surin Pitsuwan, ASEAN Secretary General]:
"As ASEAN still insisted on the statement
that the chairman put out on Sunday evening,
that (we) expect the two sides were going to
find amicable solutions to the issues between
them and that ASEAN still stands ready to
extend any support if the two sides would
like ASEAN to play a role. But we did not go
any further than that. I think the atmosphere
was just to exchange information and to
exchange views on matters of ASEAN, of
ASEAN's role in various issues in the region
and the issue of Cambodia and Thailand came
up as one issue, nothing formal, nothing
official."
The dispute is testing ASEAN's unity while it
is in the midst of ratifying a charter that
would turn the 41-year-old grouping into an
EU-style, rules-based organization.
Cambodia has asked the United Nations
Security Council for an emergency meeting, to
resolve the military stand-off with Thailand.
Phnom Penh's appeal to the world body late on
Monday came after bilateral talks failed to
end the week-long border confrontation, which
neighbors fear could turn violent.
But the ASEAN Secretary General is confident
progress is being made.
[Surin Pitsuwan, ASEAN Secretary General]:
"They have made some progress. They have met
on the border and both sides were still
hoping that they could find a solution."
North Korea nuclear diplomacy will take
centre stage when ASEAN holds talks with
China, Japan, South Korea and Russia on
regional security and trade issues today.
