International Relations - Membership
1. ASEAN Social Security Association
ASEAN Social Security Association (ASSA)
The ASEAN Social Security Association (ASSA) was proposed to be established by the Indonesian National Social Security Association in September 1995.
The proposal aimed to establish an institution that acts as a non-governmental organization to seek to promote the development of social security in the region in accordance with the laws and regulations of the member countries.
In line with ASSA’s objectives, programs and activities, ASSA will provide a forum for senior Social Security officers to meet regularly through the establishment of regional cooperation on training, research, and development.
After three years of organization, on February 13, 1998 in Bangkok, Thailand, the signing ceremony of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for the Establishment of ASSA was officially signed by the co-founders, including Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand. Meanwhile, representatives from Laos and Vietnam also attended the signing ceremony as observers.
The NSAF automatically became a member of ASSA in 2022 after the integration of the ប.ជ.អ. and the ប.ជ.ស. Both former institutions have been members of ASSA for many years.
Benefits
The benefits of joining ASSA include:
- Participate in promoting the development of social security in the region in accordance with the laws and regulations of member countries
- Promote regional cooperation in all areas of social security activities
- Participate in exchanging experiences and information regarding social security
- Cooperation with other social security institutions in the region and East Asia, as well as with relevant social security organizations or partners worldwide
- Cooperate in the protection, dissemination and development of the social security system through training, workshops, consultations and meetings. At the same time, joining ASSA has also brought about the progress of Cambodia’s social security system on the international stage and it has received 11 awards for excellence in practice, including 5 awards from the former ប.ជ.អ., another 5 from the former ប.ជ.ស institution, and 1 trophy from ម.ជ.ជ. in 2022.
