As the seventh ASEAN Ministerial Meeting for Social Welfare and Development finished last weekend, member states agreed the welfare of senior citizens continued to be one of the main issues and concerns needing to be addressed.
In a significant move, the "Brunei Darussalam Declaration on Strengthening the Family Institutions: Caring for the Elderly People" was adopted by both the Seventh Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Ministerial meeting for Social Welfare and Development (7th AMMSWD) and third AMMSWD + 3 (Japan, Korea and China) member countries.
