> >  Rationale:
> >  The year 2007 marks the fortieth anniversary of the establishment of
> >  ASEAN. To commemorate this milestone, the ten member nations of the
> >  organization have organized various activities under the main theme,
>
> >  "One ASEAN at the Heart of Dynamic Asia". The celebrations
> >  commenced in January 2007 and will continue until August 2008, which
> >  coincides with the month of ASEAN's birth.
>
> >  As one of the founding members of ASEAN, Thailand is taking part in
> >  the celebrations, with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as the
> >  coordinator of assistance and collaboration from other government
>
> >  agencies. The aim is to generate greater awareness among the public
> >  of the significance of the role played by ASEAN, particularly in terms
> >  of political, economic, social and cultural collaboration between the
> >  member nations of this vital region.
>
> >  Chulalongkorn University's Faculty of Arts is an institution of higher
> >  learning that offers classes related to the languages, literature,
> >  history and culture of the ASEAN countries. It also serves as a
> >  resource center for academics and specialists in topics on the ASEAN
> >  region. It has therefore been deemed appropriate that it lend support
> >  to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs by organizing an international
> >  conference on "Language, Literature  and Culture in ASEAN: Unity in
> >  Diversity". This conference will serve as a platform for academics
> >  and graduate students, from within Thailand and abroad, to present
> >  their research on topics reflecting their scholarly interests. The
> >  conference will not only highlight the major theme of "One ASEAN at
>
> >  the Heart of Dynamic Asia" but will also reflect the strength and
> >  dynamism manifested in the rich and diverse culture which has been a
> >  part of the potential of this organization during the past four
> >  decades, a fitting finale for the year-long celebrations that have
> >  taken place between 2007 and 2008.
