KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 11 (Bernama) -- The ASEAN-Japan Centre (AJC) will organise a series of virtual symposium on Brunei Indonesia Malaysia Philippines East ASEAN Growth Area or BIMP-EAGA on Nov 18 and 25, and Dec 2 and 9.
The theme of the virtual symposium series is ‘New Business Opportunities and Creating Sustainable Socio-Economic Landscape in BIMP-EAGA’, according to a statement.
The BIMP-EAGA was launched in 1994 to spur development in remote and less developed areas in the four participating Southeast Asian countries. These areas are geographically far from the national capitals, yet strategically close to each other.
The symposium series would focus on four of the five strategic pillars of BIMP-EAGA VISION 2025 namely, Connectivity, Food Basket, Environment, and Socio-cultural and Education.
A symposium to discuss BIMP-EAGA Tourism is scheduled to be held aside from this symposium series. Details will be announced on AJC website in due course.
Based on the perspectives of Free and Open Indo-Pacific and ASEAN Outlook on the Indo-Pacific which share many relevant fundamental principles, the symposium series aims to give both BIMP-EAGA and Japanese stakeholders an occasion to discuss and better understand the challenges as well as the business opportunities in the region.
The symposium series also hopes to be able to present possible areas of collaboration for Japan - BIMP-EAGA and transform the challenges of socio-economic development into new business opportunities.
The first session of the series will be on Nov 18. Details of the rest of the sessions will be announced in due course on the AJC website.
