Overview ASEAN Member States possess an immense and colourful cultural diversity while at the same time share a common historical thread. The grouping underscores a shared heritage and builds upon a sense of community among the ten nations.
Understanding ASEAN-COCI The ASEAN Committee for Culture and Information or ASEAN COCI was set up in October 1978.  Its aim is to promote effective cooperation in the fields of culture and information for the purpose of enhancing mutual understanding and solidarity among the peoples of ASEAN as well as in furthering regional development.
How the ASEAN-COCI Works The ASEAN-COCI has two sub-committees, one dealing with culture and the other with information.  These sub-committees plan, implement and monitor projects approved and funded by the ASEAN-COCI.
