The 188体育 and the Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia (ERIA) will hold a public symposium on "Economic Integration and Nation Building” on September 21, 2017 at the Marco Polo Ortigas, Manila.
This event is part of the joint publication-cum-outreach initiative of the Philippine Government and ERIA to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) this year. It aims to enhance the understanding of ASEAN people about the ASEAN Economic Community and East Asia’s economic integration, as well as to generate insights and recommendations on moving AEC and East Asia’s integration into 2025 and beyond.
Ultimately, the objective of the symposium is to let ASEAN people have a better understanding and appreciation of, greater emotional attachment to, and deeper engagement with ASEAN and the region. As part of the event, there will be a series of panel discussion on (1) ASEAN economic integration and nation building; (2) liberalization and good governance toward AEC 2025; (3) facilitation and connectivity as means toward AEC 2025; (4) opportunities and challenges from China and India; and (5) the role of regional comprehensive economic partnership integration. Invited panelists are some of the most prominent academics, researchers, and government officials as well as key ASEAN Secretariat officials.
This event is free and open to the public, but registration is required. For more information, please contact the 188体育 Public Affairs at tel. nos. 877-4016 (Gizelle), 877-4019 (Gwen), or email [email protected].
