AAYS summit 2014

 Two weeks ago RNIS went to a summit about Malaysia's issues. This is their 40th summit. We explain this significant summit.

This summit was held in William Angliss on one Saturday morning and delegates woke up early and arrived early to gain some insights in to the ASEAN and Australian relationship. They also mingled over food and drinks as well which were provided by William Angliss catering team. The food was lovely and I enjoyed the vegetarian ravioli.

So what is the Australian ASEAN relations?

Australia has always had a strong relationship with ASEAN countries and as such has equal standing on crimes and security. The other ASEAN countries can learn a lot from Australia like disaster management. Australia has also been aiding in the recovery. Some countries like Indonesia don't have a disaster recovery backup plan.

Globalisation and the impact on the ASEAN community
Globalisation can have many negative impacts on the community such as exploitation and human rights. The cost of the labour may be cheaper depending on the country. If so then people may want to move somewhere where it is much more profitable for them. For example: India is a poor country hence many people would want to move to Australia in search of a better life. Job security is another thing. If there are redundancies then people will look elsewhere.

In Vietnam the mining and manufacturing sectors are huge.

Human brain drivel is one of the negative aspects. Consumerism is popular in the western countries where as in Asia it is not. People in Asia learn by rote and authority where as in the west they learn to think for themselves.

Globalisation can also mean an increase in crime rates particularly for the developing countries such as trafficking and drugs.

For foreign investors learning the culture and the local demand is hard. Adjusting to the climate is hard.

Corruption exists in each community and therefore will be higher.

The future of the ASEAN Australian relations
Relation may change in the future depending on the government and the country. Right now it is strong and its getting stronger. This will have many benefits for small businesses and for Austrade. The way in which the ASEAN nations makes decisions is by consensus. If a country wants to be domineering then the ASEAN community might kick it out. Right now there are 10 countries in the ASEAN network.

Some recommendations to improve the ASEAN- Australian relations
More and more Australian university students should do a year overseas in one of the ASEAN regions. The ASEAN countries are sending people to Down under but what about the Australian Government?

In Australia employers should stop the exploitation of International students as stories of that will go back to their families back home and it could affect Australia's relationships with their ASEAN countries
