Member states have promoted co-operation in information to help build an ASEAN identity. One of the main bodies in ASEAN co-operation in information is the ASEAN Committee on Culture and Information (COCI). Established in 1978, its mission is to promote effective co-operation in the fields of information, as well as culture, through its various projects and activities. It includes representatives from national institutions like the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministries of Culture and Information, national radio and television networks, museums, archives and libraries, among others. Together, they meet once a year to formulate and agree on projects to fulfil their mission.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.asean.org/communities/asean-socio-cultural-community/category/asean-ministers-responsible-for-information-amri|title=ASEAN Ministers Responsible for Information (AMRI)|access-date=14 June 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150627073720/http://www.asean.org/communities/asean-socio-cultural-community/category/asean-ministers-responsible-for-information-amri|archive-date=27 June 2015}}</ref> On 14 November 2014, foreign ministers of member states launched the ASEAN Communication Master Plan (ACPM).<ref name="ACMP">{{cite book|title=ASEAN Communication Master Plan – ASEAN: A Community of Opportunities|date=Oct 2014|publisher=ASEAN Secretariat; Public Outreach and Civil Society Division|location=Jakarta|isbn=978-602-0980-02-7|url=http://www.asean.org/images/pdf/2014_upload/ACMP_Print_pdf_final.pdf|access-date=10 May 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150205203744/http://www.asean.org/images/pdf/2014_upload/ACMP_Print_pdf_final.pdf|archive-date=5 February 2015}}</ref> It provides a framework for communicating the character, structure, and overall vision of ASEAN and the ASEAN community to key audiences within the region and globally.<ref name="ACMP-Remarks">{{cite web|title=Opening Remarks by Secretary-General of ASEAN, H.E.
