  1. The headquarters of ASEAN located, in Jakarta. The ASEAN motto is one vision, one identity, one community.
    • The ASEAN Emblem represents a stable, peaceful, united and dynamic ASEAN. ...

    • The ten bound stalks of rice in the centre of the Emblem represent the member states of ASEAN. ...
    • The circle represents the unity of ASEAN.

  3. Brunei’s commitment to the Asean Charter will pave the way for it to tap into the benefits of regional economic integration and boost its industries
