The goal of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) is to transform ASEAN into a region with free movement of
goods, services, investment, skilled labor and a freer flow of capital. Scholars, researchers, policymakers, civil
society and NGOs, and university students are invited to attend an afternoon symposium examining some of
the underlying objectives.
(1) to accelerate the economic growth, social progress and cultural development in the region through joint
endeavors in the spirit of equality and partnership in order to strengthen the foundation for a prosperous and
peaceful community of Southeast Asian nations, and
(2) to promote regional peace and stability through abiding respect for justice and the rule of law in the
relationship among countries in the region and adherence to the principles of the United Nations Charter. In
1995, the ASEAN Heads of State and Government re-affirmed that “Cooperative peace and shared prosperity
shall be the fundamental goals of ASEAN.”
The AEC Blueprint 2025 is aimed towards achieving the vision of having an AEC by 2025 that is highly integrated
and cohesive; competitive, innovative and dynamic; with enhanced connectivity and sectoral cooperation; and
a more resilient, inclusive, and people-oriented, people-centered community, integrated with the global
economy.
The AEC Blueprint 2025 will lead towards an ASEAN that is more proactive, having had in place the structure
and frameworks to operate as an economic community, cultivating its collective identity and strength to engage
with the world, responding to new developments, and seizing new opportunities. The new Blueprint will not
only ensure that the 10 ASEAN Member States are economically integrated, but are also sustainably and
gainfully integrated in the global economy, thus contributing to the goal of shared prosperity.

GOALS OF UNITED NATIONS
Goal 1: End poverty in all its forms everywhere. Poverty is more than the lack of income and resources to ensure
a sustainable livelihood. Its manifestations include hunger and malnutrition, limited access to education and
other basic services, social discrimination and exclusion as well as the lack of participation in decision-making.
Goal 2: End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture. If we
take time to rethink how we grow, share and consume our food done right, agriculture, forestry and fisheries
can provide nutritious food for all and generate decent incomes, while supporting people-centered rural
development and protecting the environment.
Goal 3: Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages. Significant strides have been made in
reducing some of the common killers associated with child and maternal mortality. Major progress has been
made on reducing malaria, tuberculosis, polio and the spread of HIV/AIDS. However, many more efforts are
needed to fully eradicate a wide range of diseases and address many different persistent and emerging health
issues.
Goal 4: Ensure inclusive and quality education for all and promote lifelong learning. Major progress has been
made towards increasing access to education at all levels and increasing enrolment rates in schools particularly
for women and girls.
Goal 5: Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls.
Goal 7: Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all. Sustainable energy is
opportunity – it transforms lives, economies and the planet.
Goal 8: Promote inclusive and sustainable economic growth, employment and decent work for all. Sustainable
economic growth will require societies to create the conditions that allow people to have quality jobs that
stimulate the economy while not harming the environment. Job opportunities and decent working conditions
are also required for the whole working age population.
Goal 9: Build resilient infrastructure, promote sustainable industrialization and foster innovation.
Goal 10: Reduce inequality within and among countries. To reduce inequality, policies should be universal in
principle paying attention to the needs of disadvantaged and marginalized populations.
Goal 11: Make cities inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable. The future we want includes cities of opportunities
for all, with access to basic services, energy, housing, transportation and more.
Goal 13: Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts
Goal 14: Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources
Goal 15: Sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, halt and reverse land degradation, halt biodiversity
