Mekong meet helps states prepare for AEC
To welcome the launch of the Asean Economic Community and help Greater Mekong Subregion countries cope with e-commerce, an international conference was held recently to bring specialists and officials together to swap ideas and experiences.
The 8 July event, titled “Mekong Forum 2015 – Modernising the GMS towards post-AEC 2015”, was hosted by the Mekong Institute. It was organised to enable development collaboration within the GMS and Asean, while also making policy recommendations for governments to implement as they draw nearer to the start of the AEC.
