The ASEAN Millennium Compact aims to narrow the development gap among ASEAN Member Countries, emphasizing ASEAN’s “Prosper Thy Neighbour” approach to partnership in development. The Compact’s cooperation modalities would focus on eradicating extreme poverty and hunger, as the cornerstone linking together the other targets of the Millennium Development Goals. Through Compact, ASEAN Member Countries hope to further enrich the present momentum of sharing experience, expertise and resources with each other in realizing the Millennium Development Goals.
