Astronger regional integration in Southeast Asia is crucial for 
Indonesia. The Bali Concord I Declaration in 1976, the Bali Concord II 
Declaration in 2003, followed by the 2004 Vientiane Action Plan, the 
signing of the ASEAN Charter in 2007 and the Bali Concord III 
Declaration in 2011 mark as stepping stones towards a "more solid" 
regional integration towards an ASEAN Community by 2015 that is "people 
centered" and "people --oriented". The ASEAN Community comprises of 
three pillars, namely the ASEAN Political-Security Community, ASEAN 
Economic Community and ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community. Each pillar has 
its own Blueprint, and, together with the Initiative for ASEAN 
Integration (IAI) Strategic Framework and IAI Work Plan Phase II 
(2009-2015), they form the Roadmap for and ASEAN Community 2009-2015.

 From Indonesia's perspective, Southeast Asia and East Asia constitute 
as Indonesia's immediate environment to project its national interests 
through its foreign policyand diplomacy. Therefore, there is a high 
necessity for Indonesia to be part of the construction process of the 
regional architecture in Southeast Asia. It is indeed important to 
counter balance influential actors and major players that are 
contributing towards the dynamic of the region so that ASEAN does not 
lose its original identity. Indonesia perceives ASEAN as a nucleus of 
the complex web of ASEAN-led cooperation processes. In order to 
implement this idea, Indonesia had presented a new concept of dynamic 
equilibrium in the region.

Ambassador Hazairin Pohanis currently Head of the Center for Education 
and Training, Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia
