ABSTRACT

[The Thirteenth ASEAN Ministerial Meeting -- the regular annual meeting of the ASEAN foreign ministers -- was held on the Indonesian island of Bali June 29–30, 1979. In a forty-four point final communique, ASEAN considerably hardened its line on Kampuchea and addressed the growing threat to ASEAN of not only Vietnamese armed aggression but the destabilizing impact of the increasing flow of refugees. We include here those parts of the final communique relevant to the kampuchea and refugee crisis. The text is as given in Australian Foreign Affairs Record, 50:6 (June 1979), pp. 380–383.]
