ASEAN and the Cambodian Crisis Source A The United States sees ASEAN’s unity and decisiveness as an example to other free people. The ASEAN collective voice of res ponsible international behaviour has been amplified throughout the worl d, and I am here to listen to you. Support for and cooperation with ASEAN is a lin chpin of American Pacific policy. Nowhere has your leadership been more inspiring than in m oulding the world’s response to the Vietnamese invasion and occupation of Cambodia. When Vietnam invaded Cambodia in 1978, you recognised the threat and acted quickly. ASEAN’s efforts are consistent with American desires to bring peaceful resolution to the tragic cycle of events that has plagued t he Cambodian people. We continue to believe in a negotiated settlement with ASEAN is in Vietnam’s interest and in the best interest of everyone in the region. Address by US President Ronald Reagan at the ASEAN Ministerial Meeting, 1986. Source B Then came ASEAN’s first big test. Even when ASEAN submitted a resolution to the United Nations calling on the Vietnames e to withdraw from Cambodia, the Vietnamese really thought that ASEAN would make a lot of noise and then we would accept the situation. However, ASEAN worked together and despite early bias in favour of Vietnam and the Russians in t he United Nations, we were able to get majority support for our resolution against a Viet nam which for years had been an object of adulation in the Third World. Since 1979, the fact that ASEAN is able to mobilise more support in the United Nations against the combined lobbying of Vietnam and its communist allies is proof that ASEAN is not ineffectual. It is an ASEAN effort. We asked the Americans and our Western friends not to take the lead in this matter but to follow us. Memoirs of Mr. S. Rajaratna
