He issued a statement saying, "This is certainly an occasion to celebrate for the 570 million people of ASEAN. This means that when the ASEAN leaders gather at their annual summit in mid December, the ASEAN Charter will have come into force." He referred to the charter coming into force after the 14th Summit in Chiang Mai, Thailand, from 13–18 December. In doing so he added that celebrations would follow not only for the full ratification of the charter but also the entering into force of the new basic law of ASEAN, "It will be a rules-based and people-oriented organization with its own legal personality".<sup id="cite_ref-bernama_6-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-bernama-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Launch">Launch</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=ASEAN_Charter&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Launch"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>On 15 December 2008, the members of ASEAN met in the <a href="/wiki/Indonesia" title="Indonesia">Indonesian</a> capital of <a href="/wiki/Jakarta" title="Jakarta">Jakarta</a> to launch the charter, signed in November 2007, with the aim of moving closer to "an EU-style community".<sup id="cite_ref-AFPCharter_9-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-AFPCharter-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-BBCCharter_10-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-BBCCharter-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The charter turned ASEAN into a legal entity and aimed to create a single free-trade area for the region encompassing 600 million people. <a href="/wiki/President_of_Indonesia" title="President of Indonesia">Indonesian President</a> <a href="/wiki/Susilo_Bambang_Yudhoyono" title="Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono">Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono</a> stated: "This is a momentous development...ASEAN is...transforming itself into a community.
