REPORTING ASEAN CLMV INTEGRATION SERIES 2019 NEWS 2 FOREWORD In July of 1992, I assumed the position of Secretary of Foreign Affairs in Manila after three years in Brussels as Philippine Ambassador to Belgium, Luxembourg and Commission of the European Communities. The 25th ASEAN Ministerial Meeting, had just concluded in Manila. There, Philippine President Fidel V Ramos called for “a common vision of regional security and enhanced economic cooperation for its own sake, for a better life for ASEAN peoples and for greater political stability”. This was the first time I was exposed to ASEAN. Since my work involved constant interaction with the EC headquarters in Brussels, I had assumed that transitioning to ASEAN was going to be easy.

As a broadcasting Union representing broadcasters in the Asia-Pacific region, the ABU believes that the dot-radio proposal to be submitted by the EBU will provide added value for all radio broadcasters worldwide. As a Union, we are involved in radio and television broadcasting that is moving to the Internet as an important means of distribution, so this will add-value to the radio’s global community. The use of a specific global online name such as dot-radio will help create a unique space worldwide where all the radio community of the world can gather. In my capacity as Secretary-General of the ABU, I recommend that the dot-radio Top Level Domain proposal of the EBU be approved by ICANN. We are looking forward to you favourable action on this request. Sincerely, Dr. Javad Mottaghi Secretary-General ANNEXES Containing the following information: [NAME OF THE UNION – ASIA-PACIFIC BROADCASTING UNION] [WORLD REGION/S COVERED – ASIA-PACIFIC REGION] [WITH LEGAL OFFICES IN – KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA] [NAME OF THE LEGAL RESPONSIBLE – AXEL AGUIRRE, Legal Counsel] [BOARD MEMBERS LIST, with mention of the organizations represented - Attached] [LIST OF THE MEMBERS ORGANIZATIONS - Attached] [GOVERNING BODIES OF THE ORGANIZATIONS - General Assembly and Administrative Council – Members Attached] P.O.

After acceding to the World Trade Organization in 2013, Laos looks to the ASEAN Economic Community as a marker for its next set of economic policy and trade development goals. • The Lao government suffered through a fiscal and monetary crisis in 2013 and into 2014, brought about by poor budgetary processes, uncontrolled investment in infrastructure, and a large raise for civil servants. Government fiscal and budgetary policy formulation and implementation remain weak but the government is taking steps to address some deficiencies. • Laos is one of five remaining communist countries in the world and this legacy continues to weigh on both governance and the economy.

  • The Increasing Presence of China in Laos Today: a Report on Fixed Point Observation of Local Newspapers from March 2007 to February 2009
    The Increasing Presence of China in Laos Today: A Report on Fixed Point Observation of Local Newspapers from March 2007 to February 2009 Kazuhiro FUJIMURA Ritsumeikan Asia Pacifi c University Abstract The increasing Chinese presence in Southeast Asia has been a topic of much media coverage and scholarly interest over recent years. This is also the case of the Lao People’s Democratic Republic. China has been making itself felt more and more tangibly. For example, high-level personal exchanges, including visits of the highest authorities of the central governments, are taking place frequently between the two countries. In addition, there are bilateral exchanges between the respective ruling parties and the military forces. But China’s most remarkable advance into Laos has been via its economic presence. Bilateral trade volume has increased and China became the number one investor into Laos. Bilateral relations are unfolding in a variety of other areas as well, such as the social fi eld and academic/cultural domains. The Government of Laos offi cially welcomes China’s assistance and investment. However, there are complex feelings among the general public. Keywords: China-Laos relations, disaster relief and anti-infectious disease measures, economic ties, mutual visits of the political leaders, party-to-party and military relations, relations in academic and cultural fi elds. Introduction* The increasing presence of China in Southeast Asia has been a topic of much media coverage and scholarly interest over recent years. This is also the case of the Lao People’s Democratic Republic (PDR), a latecomer to ASEAN and the least developed country in the region.
