Common concerns and aspirations bind the ASEAN countries and India at a time when Asia is in the throes of a disruptive phase that could well determine the future balance of power in the region.
INVITING LEADERS of 10 South East Asian countries to attend the 2018 Republic Day celebrations as well as participate in a commemorative summit marking the 25th anniversary of India’s ties with the bloc, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said 1.25 billion people of India are keen to welcome the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) leaders as the chief guests at India’s 69th Republic Day celebrations. In his address at the ASEAN-India Summit in Manila, Modi said he was looking forward to a “befitting culmination of the commemorative year and receiving you” at the India-ASEAN Special Commemorative Summit on 25 January, 2018 in New Delhi. India and ASEAN are observing 25 years of their Dialogue Partnership, 15 years of summit-level interaction and five years of strategic partnership this year and it is being celebrated with a wide range of activities, both in India and through missions in ASEAN member states, culminating in a commemorative summit on the theme “Shared Values, Common Destiny”.
