12 Joining ASEAN (1995) had crucial social, political, economic and security implications for Vietnam. Vietnam s membership of the grouping integrated its security with the whole of South East Asia and created a favourable environment for economic development. This, in turn, raised Vietnam s global image, leading to increased cooperation with multiple players in the region and greater bargaining clout with super powers like the United States and China. 12

13 As a ASEAM member, Vietnam has worked hard to secure peace and reconciliation among South East Asian nations, which were once deeply divided by war Vietnam was the first Indochinese country to join ASEAN, and its move helped end confrontation between the Indochinese bloc and ASEAN Vietnam has also helped ASEAN partner with non-regional players including China, Russia, India and the EU 13

14 Vietnam also led efforts within ASEAN to ensure regional security. Soon after becoming a member, Vietnam signed the Treaty on the Southeast Asian Nuclear-Weapon-Free Zone and was one of the founding members of the ASEAN Regional Forum 14

15 But Vietnam s interest in ASEAN is not limited to security issues. Its leadership also drives efforts toward an ASEAN Economic Community (AEC). Having joined the grouping against the backdrop of the Asian financial crisis, Vietnam immediately became involved in the organisation s economic activities. The 6th ASEAN Summit, held in Hanoi in 1998, highlighted specific solutions to the region s vulnerable economic conditions. Crucially, ASEAN passed the Hanoi Plan of Action, which contained Vietnam s ideas and proposals to narrow the development gap in the sub-region. 15
