| When
ASEAN was established, trade among the Member Countries
was insignificant. In the ensuing decades, ASEAN
cooperation has resulted in escalating regional
integration. Today, ASEAN economic cooperation covers
trade, investment, industry, services, finance,
agriculture, forestry, energy, transportation and
communication, intellectual property, SMEs and tourism. |
