At the Fifth Summit in Bangkok
in 1995, the Leaders mandated the Association of South East
Asia Nation (ASEAN) to "raise awareness of ASEAN among
its people, in particular the younger generation, and to instill
in them a consciousness of the spirit and identity embodied
in ASEAN, by harnessing all appropriate modes and technologies
in the media and communications, education and through greater
interaction among its peoples."
The ASEAN Leaders restated this in ASEAN Vision 2020; "We envision the entire Southeast Asia to be, by 2020, an ASEAN community conscious of its history, aware of its cultural heritage and bound by a common regional identity."
On 15 December 1997 in Kuala Lumpur, the ASEAN Foreign Ministers signed the Memorandum of Understanding that established the ASEAN Foundation to boost the Association's effort to promote Functional Cooperation in the region.
