Explanation

The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) is a regional intergovernmental organization comprising ten countries in Southeast Asia. These members are Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam. Bangladesh is not a member of ASEAN because it is located in South Asia, not Southeast Asia. It is instead a founding member of SAARC (South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation) and a member of BIMSTEC. Vietnam, Brunei Darussalam, and Myanmar are all integral members of the ASEAN bloc.
