Indonesia’s government has expressed support for more proactive engagement with the region’s civil-society organizations, pledging to organize “community conferences or forums” to engage with stakeholders in efforts to strengthen the security, economic, and socio-cultural pillars that support ASEAN as a group. Indonesia hopes that these community conferences will gradually gain acceptance at the ASEAN level.
不过并非所有的挑战都来自外部。其中一个关键的议题就与东盟内的公民社会有关。印尼政府已经表示愿意给予国内的民间组织更多的支持，并承诺要组织“社区会议或论坛”来与各利益团体共同改善国内的安全状况，经济和社会文化状况并以此作为东盟一体化的支柱。印尼希望这些社区会议能逐步得到东盟组织的认可。
