ASEAN members met to discuss their economicobjectives in Chiang Mai. They decided to integrate the smaller ASEAN economies with thelarger economies in the region such as China, Japan and South Korea.In order to preserve peace and stability, ASEAN members signed the Southeast Asian Nuclear-Weapon-Free Zone Treaty in 2001.
