ASEAN Defence Ministers and their Plus Counterparts Reaffirm Commitment for Regional Peace and Security at the 2nd ADMM-Plus

Three years since its establishment, the ASEAN Defence Ministers Meeting-Plus (ADMM-Plus) has cemented its role as a premier venue for strategic dialogue in defence and security issues among ASEAN and its eight Dialogue Partners with practical cooperation constituting the main thrust of the process. This is the second time the ASEAN Defence Ministers met with their counterparts from eight of ASEAN Dialogue Partners, namely Australia, China, Japan, India, Republic of Korea, New Zealand, Russia, and the United States.
In their second meeting, the Defence Ministers reviewed the remarkable progress of the ADMM-Plus’ cooperation in the five priority areas of cooperation, namely humanitarian assistance and disaster relief, maritime security, peacekeeping operations, military medicine, and counterterrorism.
The ADMM-Plus has brought together militaries of the eighteen nations to enhance their networks in a multilateral diplomatic setting and provided them with opportunities to develop capabilities to collaborate with their regional partners through joint exercises.
This year is an eventful year for the ADMM-Plus as they have four key exercises to their recognition. The very first ADMM-Plus Humanitarian Assistance and Military Medicine Exercise was held in Brunei Darussalam in June this year involving the full participation of the ADMM-Plus countries. The ADMM-Plus Counterterrorism Exercise (CTX) will be conducted in mid-September in Indonesia, the Maritime Security Field Training Exercise (MS FTX) at the end of September in Australia, and the peacekeeping table-top exercise later this year in the Philippines.
Continuing the path for practical cooperation, the Ministers discussed proposals to deepen cooperation. The discussion also touched on new areas of cooperation under the five priority areas as the first five ADMM-Plus Experts’ Working Group will begin their new cycle of work next year. Beginning from next year, the ADMM-Plus will also look into the issue of humanitarian mine actions. A new ADMM-Plus Experts’ Working Group on Humanitarian Mine Actions has been established to promote practical and effective cooperation in dealing with consequences of explosive remnants of war in the region.
The Ministers also discussed the ways and means the defence sector can contribute to addressing the new and emerging non-traditional security issues such as cyber security, bioterrorism, transnational trafficking, and pandemic diseases and agreed that the defence establishment must play a strong supportive role to their civilian law enforcement counterparts.
The Defence Ministers from ASEAN and the Plus countries gathered in Bandar Seri Begawan on 29 August 2013 to convene the 2nd ADMM-Plus. The 3rd ADMM-Plus will convene in Malaysia in 2015.

The Meaning Of the United Nations Emblem
Why was United Nations Formed and what is it's objective?
The United Nations (UN; French: Organisation des Nations Unies, ONU) is an intergovernmental organization whose stated aims include promoting and facilitating cooperation in international law, international security, economic development, social progress, human rights, civil rights, civil liberties, political freedoms, democracy, and the achievement of lasting world peace. The UN was founded in 1945 after World War II to replace the League of Nations, to stop wars between countries, and to provide a platform for dialogue. It contains multiple subsidiary organizations to carry out its missions.(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations)

Examples of the works that they have done
In 2011, WFP reached 99.1 million people in 75 countries and provided 3.6 million tonnes of food, including nutritionally improved products such as Plumpy’sup, Plumpy’doz, and Supercereal Plus. The number of malnourished children who received special nutritional support in 2011 was over 11 million, up from 8.5 million in 2010. Some 23 million children received school meals or take-home rations. WFP has scaled up its use of cash and vouchers as food assistance tools. Some 4.4 million people received assistance through cash or voucher programmes in 2011. In 2011, WFP bought over 2.4 million metric tons of food, worth more than US$1.2 billion, in 87 countries. Of the 2.4 million metric tons of food, 71 per cent was purchased in developing countries, representing approximately US$870 million and more than 1.7 million metric tons.
Among its other activities, WFP is coordinating the five-year Purchase for Progress (P4P) pilot project. Launched in September 2008, P4P assists smallholder farmers by offering them opportunities to access agricultural markets and to become competitive players in the market place. The project is underway in 20 of the 21 planned countries and, since the launch, more than 116,000 farmers, warehouse operators and small & medium traders have received training from WFP and partners in improved agricultural production, post-harvest handling, quality assurance, group marketing, agricultural finance and contracting with WFP. More than 207,000 metric tons of food valued at US$75.6 million have been contracted.
WFP focuses its food assistance on those who are most vulnerable to hunger, which most frequently means women, children, the sick and the elderly. In fact, part of the response to the 2010 Haiti earthquake consisted of distributing food aid to women as experience built up over almost 5 decades of working in emergency situations has demonstrated that giving food to women helps to ensure that it is spread evenly among all household members. School-feeding and/or take home ration programmes in 71 countries help students focus on their studies and encourage parents to send their children, especially girls, to school.
