The Fourth East Asia Summit was rescheduled several times, had its venue changed and one attempt to hold it was cancelled due to the 2008–2009 Thai political crisis. It was finally held on 25 October 2009 in Cha-am and Hua Hin, Thailand.

Participants

The 16 countries participating at the head-of-government or head-of-state level were:

Agenda

{{See also|Global financial crisis of 2008–2009}}

World economic conditions were to have been on the agenda of the summit,[1] but by the time of the summit, the immediate crisis had passed.

The summit in October 2009 was scheduled to receive a report on the proposed Comprehensive Economic Partnership for East Asia to potentially establish the world's largest trading bloc.[2] Prime Minister Kevin Rudd of Australia and retired Australian diplomat Richard Woolcott were to address the summit on regional architecture and the idea of an Asia Pacific community.[3] The members were to consider India's plans for the revival of Nalanda University.

Issues related to staging the fourth EAS

The summit was originally to be held in Bangkok on 17 December 2008. It was announced in late-October 2008 that the summit would be shifted from Bangkok to Chiang Mai due to concerns about political unrest in the capital city.[4]

It was then announced on 2 December 2008 that due to the 2008 Thai political crisis the summit would be postponed from 17 December 2008 to March 2009.[5] On 12 December 2008 Abhisit Vejjajiva indicated that if he became the next prime minister of Thailand he would seek to hold the summit in February 2009.[6]

In January 2009 it was announced that, although the ASEAN Summit had been scheduled for 27 February 2009 to 1 March 2009, those dates were not convenient for the ASEAN delegates[7] and that the East Asia Summit and the ASEAN Plus Three meetings would be held later.

The re-scheduling of the heads of government/state of the 16 nations caused the EAS to be tentatively re-scheduled for April, coinciding with Easter.[8][9] The revised date meant that a change of venue from Phuket to Pattaya was contemplated.[10] The revised date and venue were subsequently confirmed.[11] The venue was to be the Pattaya Exhibition and Conference Hall (PEACH).

It was also announced that India would be represented at the summit by Commerce and Industry Minister Kamal Nath, not its prime minister.[12]

Cancellation of the summit in 2008 and postponement to 2009

{{See also|2008–2009 Thai political crisis#April 2009 state of emergency}}

On 11 April 2009, anti-Thai government protesters smashed their way into the East Asian summit, forcing the Prime Minister of Thailand, Abhisit Vejjajiva, to cancel the meeting and evacuate foreign leaders by helicopter.[13] Officials did not say whether or when the summit would resume.

Following the cancellation, United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon expressed regret over the incident.[14] Abhisit Vejjajiva later vowed legal action against anti-government protesters "who reduced a showcase Asian summit to a shambles and exposed the nation to international embarrassment".[15]

During the lead up to the summit, there were also several border clashes between Thailand and Cambodia. The summit was said to be used as an opportunity for discussions on the sidelines between the respective nations' leaders.[16]

Attendance by leaders

Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd was en route to the summit from Australia when he was contacted by the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and advised to return to Australia.[17] The leaders of China, Japan, and Korea were airlifted out by their Thai hosts, whilst New Zealand Prime Minister John Key did not make it out of Bangkok airport.[18]

Rescheduling

By late-April the Thai government was looking to reschedule the summit to June 2009 in Phuket.[19] There had been earlier reports that Indonesia might seek to host the summit if Thailand could not.[19] Australian press reports suggested it could be held in Vietnam.[20]

In early-May Thailand proposed, at a senior officials meeting, the dates of 13–14 June in Phuket, with a promise of a five kilometre "no rally zone" around the venue.[21]

This revised date was said to be inconvenient for the leaders of Indonesia, India, and New Zealand.[22]

The summit was subsequently confirmed as having been rescheduled for 25 October 2009 in Phuket,[23] but then was moved again to Cha-am and Hua Hin.[24]

Outcomes

The summit adopted two documents.[25] The first was a statement on disaster management.[26] The second related to the re-establishment of Nalanda University by India.[27]

The chairman's statement[28] noted:

21. We acknowledged the importance of regional discussions to examine

ways to advance the stability and prosperity of the Asia Pacific region.

In this connection, we noted with appreciation the following:

(a) the Philippines’s proposal to invite the heads of other regional fora

and organizations in Asia-Pacific to future EAS meetings to

discuss measures that will protect the region from future economic

and financial crisis and strengthen Asia economic cooperation,

including through the possible establishment of an economic

community of Asia.

(b) Japan's new proposal to reinvigorate the discussion towards

building, in the long run, an East Asian community based on the

principle of openness, transparency and inclusiveness and

functional cooperation.

(c) Australia's proposal on the Asia Pacific community in which

ASEAN will be at its core, will be further discussed at a 1.5 track

conference to be organized by Australia in December 2009.

The statement of the ASEAN Plus Three meeting[29] noted that it was "a main vehicle" in building the East Asian Community.
