On 25 September 2014, the Royal Thai Embassy in Copenhagen in collaboration with the Embassy of Indonesia, the Embassy of the Philippines and the Embassy of Viet Nam organized the ASEAN Day Reception at the Asia House in Copenhagen to commemorate the 47th anniversary of the establishment of ASEAN as well as to raise profile and awareness of ASEAN in Denmark. Attended guests include dignitaries, representatives from the diplomatic corps, Danish government officials, businessmen, academics and media personnel.

 

            After the proposal of ASEAN Ambassadors in Denmark to establish the ASEAN Committee in Copenhagen (ACoC) to further serve the interest of ASEAN in Denmark through a more permanent and formal institution, the ASEAN Embassies in Denmark have been informed by the ASEAN Secretariat that the ASEAN Member States have given their ad-referendum approval for the formal endorsement of the establishment of the ACoC.

 

            The ACoC chairmanship will be rotated every 6 months with Viet Nam as the current chairman until the end of this year. The Ambassadors of Indonesia and Thailand will chair the ACoC on 1 January – 30 June 2015 and 1 July – 31 December 2015 respectively.
