Major General (Rtd) Dato Paduka Seri Haji Aminuddin Ihsan, Chair of the ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community (ASCC) Council, elaborated that the initiative is also in-line with the context of the ASEAN 2021 Theme ‘We Care, We Prepare, We Prosper’ under Brunei Darussalam’s ASEAN 2021 Chairmanship, whereby ASEAN aims to collectively pursue shared interests, confront challenges, while re-emphasising people-centred, people-oriented as the integral part of ASEAN’s work; and with preparedness being the essential approach in nurturing a more sustainable and resilient community of 2025.
