Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

Statement 1 is correct as Article 31 of the ASEAN Charter stipulates that the Chairmanship rotates annually based on the alphabetical order of the English names of Member States [3]. Statement 2 is incorrect because the rotation is automatic and sequential, not decided by voting, although members can occasionally swap or relinquish their turn through consensus [2]. Statement 3 is correct; the motto "One Vision, One Identity, One Community" was adopted during the 11th ASEAN Summit in 2005 to foster a collective regional identity [2]. Statement 4 is incorrect because ASEAN Day is celebrated on 8th August, marking the signing of the Bangkok Declaration on August 8, 1967, which established the organization. Therefore, only statements 1 and 3 are accurate.
