ASEAN nations call for scientific, technological innovation
The 70th Meeting of the ASEAN Committee on Science and Technology (ASEAN COST-70), currently taking place in Vientiane, has emphasised that shortcomings in scientific and technological development need to be urgently addressed.
The committee was established in 1978 and has become the focal point and driving force of ASEAN cooperation on science and technology. The meeting is taking place from November 2-6, as Laos is anticipating the inauguration of the ASEAN Community at the end of this year.
