ASEAN-United States Enhanced Partnership
Pursuant to the establishment of the Enhanced Partnership (EP) In January 2006, the U.S. Department of State and Agency for International Development sponsored a Symposium on ASEAN-U.S. Cooperation in Washington, D.C., which explored the scope of U.S. expertise within in the three broad areas for collaboration set out in the JVS. In addition, the Symposium also initiated dialog among various professional communities on how the EP can be implemented as a multi-sector initiative, with limited inter-governmental cooperation leading to large-scale engagement among NGOs, academic institutions, and commercial firms.
As prescribed in the Joint Vision Statement (JVS) The ASEAN Secretariat and U.S. Department of State are in a dialog process to develop a final EP implementation plan of action.
This section presents a periodically-updated record of work accomplished under the EP.
