ASEAN Chair


According to Article 31 of the ASEAN Charter, the Chairmanship of ASEAN shall rotate annually, based on the alphabetical order of the English names of Member States. A Member State assuming the Chairmanship shall chair the ASEAN Summit and related summits, the ASEAN Coordinating Council, the three ASEAN Community Councils, relevant ASEAN Sectoral Ministerial Bodies and senior officials, and the Committee of Permanent Representatives.

The Chair of ASEAN for the year 2010 is Viet Nam. Viet Nam’s theme for their Chairmanship is “Towards the ASEAN Community: from Vision to Action”. The year 2010 marks the 15th year of Viet Nam’s accession to ASEAN. For Viet Nam’s website on their Chairmanship, visit Viet Nam 2010.

On 9 April 2010, at the 16th ASEAN Summit in Ha Noi, however, the ten Member States of ASEAN unanimously agreed to Indonesia’s request for a swop of ASEAN Chairmanship with Brunei Darussalam for the year 2011. This exchange, however, is one-off and will not affect Cambodia’s assumption of ASEAN Chairmanship in 2012.
