16 Zulhijjah 1433

KUALA LUMPUR, October 30, 2012- The Initiative for Asean Integration Development Cooperation Forum (IDCF), held yesterday in Jakarta, discussed initiatives for Asean integration and ways to address development gaps or disparities among Asean members nations.

As outlined in its 2009-2015 work plan, the Initiative for Asean Integration (IAI) is a tool to help narrow the development gaps in Asean by helping newer member states implement their commitments to building the Asean Community and ensuring that benefits of Asean integration are equitably shared, a statement said.
