AEC 2025: Action out of words


I was in Vientiane earlier this month and, among other things, formally handed over the Chair of Asean-BAC to Laos, represented by Oudet Souvannavong. From the various meetings and discussions held, it was clear that Laos was committed to follow through with the AEC 2025 Blueprint and the unfinished business of the community pronounced in 2015, last year.

As a co-chair of Asean-BAC this year, I was asked by the Laotian Minister of Commerce and Industry Khemmani Pholsena to continue to be active in pushing forward the AEC agenda.
