<font style="FONT-WEIGHT: normal; FONT-SIZE: 14px; FONT-STYLE: normal; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #f5f8f0">> </font> ASEAN. To commemorate this milestone, the ten member nations of the<br><font style="FONT-WEIGHT: normal; FONT-SIZE: 14px; FONT-STYLE: normal; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #f5f8f0">> </font> organization have organized various activities under the main theme,<br>
<br><font style="FONT-WEIGHT: normal; FONT-SIZE: 14px; FONT-STYLE: normal; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #f5f8f0">> </font> "One ASEAN at the Heart of Dynamic Asia". The celebrations <br><font style="FONT-WEIGHT: normal; FONT-SIZE: 14px; FONT-STYLE: normal; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #f5f8f0">> </font> commenced in January 2007 and will continue until August 2008, which<br>
<font style="FONT-WEIGHT: normal; FONT-SIZE: 14px; FONT-STYLE: normal; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #f5f8f0">> </font> coincides with the month of ASEAN's birth.<br>
<p></p><font style="FONT-WEIGHT: normal; FONT-SIZE: 14px; FONT-STYLE: normal; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #f5f8f0">> </font> As one of the founding members of ASEAN, Thailand is taking part in<br><font style="FONT-WEIGHT: normal; FONT-SIZE: 14px; FONT-STYLE: normal; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #f5f8f0">> </font> the celebrations, with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as the<br>
<font style="FONT-WEIGHT: normal; FONT-SIZE: 14px; FONT-STYLE: normal; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #f5f8f0">> </font> coordinator of assistance and collaboration from other government<br><br><font style="FONT-WEIGHT: normal; FONT-SIZE: 14px; FONT-STYLE: normal; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #f5f8f0">> </font> agencies. The aim is to generate greater awareness among the public <br>
<font style="FONT-WEIGHT: normal; FONT-SIZE: 14px; FONT-STYLE: normal; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #f5f8f0">> </font> of the significance of the role played by ASEAN, particularly in terms<br><font style="FONT-WEIGHT: normal; FONT-SIZE: 14px; FONT-STYLE: normal; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #f5f8f0">> </font> of political, economic, social and cultural collaboration between the<br>
<font style="FONT-WEIGHT: normal; FONT-SIZE: 14px; FONT-STYLE: normal; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #f5f8f0">> </font> member nations of this vital region.<br>
<p></p><font style="FONT-WEIGHT: normal; FONT-SIZE: 14px; FONT-STYLE: normal; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #f5f8f0">> </font> Chulalongkorn University's Faculty of Arts is an institution of higher<br><font style="FONT-WEIGHT: normal; FONT-SIZE: 14px; FONT-STYLE: normal; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #f5f8f0">> </font> learning that offers classes related to the languages, literature,<br>
<font style="FONT-WEIGHT: normal; FONT-SIZE: 14px; FONT-STYLE: normal; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #f5f8f0">> </font> history and culture of the ASEAN countries. It also serves as a<br><font style="FONT-WEIGHT: normal; FONT-SIZE: 14px; FONT-STYLE: normal; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #f5f8f0">> </font> resource center for academics and specialists in topics on the ASEAN<br>
<font style="FONT-WEIGHT: normal; FONT-SIZE: 14px; FONT-STYLE: normal; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #f5f8f0">> </font> region. It has therefore been deemed appropriate that it lend support<br><font style="FONT-WEIGHT: normal; FONT-SIZE: 14px; FONT-STYLE: normal; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #f5f8f0">> </font> to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs by organizing an international<br>
<font style="FONT-WEIGHT: normal; FONT-SIZE: 14px; FONT-STYLE: normal; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #f5f8f0">> </font> conference on "Language, Literature and Culture in ASEAN: Unity in<br><font style="FONT-WEIGHT: normal; FONT-SIZE: 14px; FONT-STYLE: normal; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #f5f8f0">> </font> Diversity". This conference will serve as a platform for academics<br>
<font style="FONT-WEIGHT: normal; FONT-SIZE: 14px; FONT-STYLE: normal; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #f5f8f0">> </font> and graduate students, from within Thailand and abroad, to present<br><font style="FONT-WEIGHT: normal; FONT-SIZE: 14px; FONT-STYLE: normal; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #f5f8f0">> </font> their research on topics reflecting their scholarly interests. The<br>

<font style="FONT-WEIGHT: normal; FONT-SIZE: 14px; FONT-STYLE: normal; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #f5f8f0">> </font> dynamism manifested in the rich and diverse culture which has been a<br><font style="FONT-WEIGHT: normal; FONT-SIZE: 14px; FONT-STYLE: normal; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #f5f8f0">> </font> part of the potential of this organization during the past four<br>
<font style="FONT-WEIGHT: normal; FONT-SIZE: 14px; FONT-STYLE: normal; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #f5f8f0">> </font> decades, a fitting finale for the year-long celebrations that have<br><font style="FONT-WEIGHT: normal; FONT-SIZE: 14px; FONT-STYLE: normal; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #f5f8f0">> </font> taken place between 2007 and 2008.<br>
