Where is the headquarters of the ASEAN (Association of South East Asian Nations) located?
Explanation
The headquarters (Secretariat) of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) is located in Jakarta, Indonesia. ASEAN was established on 8 August 1967 in Bangkok, Thailand, with the signing of the ASEAN Declaration (also known as the Bangkok Declaration) by the founding representatives of Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand.
- Jakarta: Serves as the seat of the ASEAN Secretariat, which was established in 1976 to coordinate the organization's activities.
- Bangkok: While it is the birthplace of the organization, it does not house the central headquarters.
- Dhaka: It is the headquarters of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC).
- Kuala Lumpur: It is the capital of Malaysia, a founding member, but not the location of the ASEAN Secretariat.
