Which of the following statements about ASEAN are correct? 1. The Chairmanship of ASEAN rotates annually based on the alphabetical order of the English names of Member States. 2. The Chairmanship is decided by voting among the Member States. 3. "One Vision, One Identity, One Community" is the ASEAN motto. 4. 12th August is celebrated as ASEAN Day.

Statement 1 is correct as Article 31 of the ASEAN Charter stipulates that the Chairmanship rotates annually based on the alphabetical order of the English names of Member States [3]. Statement 2 is incorrect because the rotation is automatic and sequential, not decided by voting, although members can occasionally swap or relinquish their turn through consensus [2]. Statement 3 is correct; the motto "One Vision, One Identity, One Community" was adopted during the 11th ASEAN Summit in 2005 to foster a collective regional identity [2]. Statement 4 is incorrect because ASEAN Day is celebrated on 8th August, marking the signing of the Bangkok Declaration on August 8, 1967, which established the organization. Therefore, only statements 1 and 3 are accurate.
