PART 2: Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 26 to 30.

The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) was founded on 8 August 1967, when five countries—Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore and Thailand—signed the Bangkok Declaration. According to BBC News, the organisation emerged at a time when Southeast Asia was deeply affected by Cold War rivalries, post-colonial tensions and the threat of communist expansion. Regional leaders believed that cooperation, rather than confrontation, was essential for maintaining stability and safeguarding national sovereignty.

From its inception, ASEAN adopted a distinctive approach to regional diplomacy. Instead of binding treaties or military commitments, it prioritised informal dialogue, consensus-based decision-making and the principle of non-interference in domestic affairs. This method, commonly referred to as the “ASEAN Way,” allowed member states with diverse political systems and historical disputes to work together without undermining their independence. Over time, this cautious framework helped reduce mistrust and encouraged confidence-building among neighbouring states.

Initially, ASEAN focused primarily on political stability and security cooperation. However, as regional conditions improved, its agenda gradually expanded to include economic integration and social development. The admission of new members during the 1980s and 1990s transformed ASEAN into a ten-nation bloc, enhancing its regional influence. As noted by BBC News, while ASEAN continues to face challenges such as economic inequality and political divergence, its historical formation represents a pragmatic response to a turbulent regional past and remains central to Southeast Asia’s collective identity.
