| The publication examines the need for a policy framework and institutional development in order to facilitate trade and investment within Indo-China and with ASEAN neighbours. The study identifies the comparative advantages of the subregion in natural-based industries such as forestry and mineral sectors. It aims to demonstrate how environmental policy guidelines will help ensure sustainable development in the subregion. The publication emphasizes the adoption of subregional approaches for building capacities in trade, investment and environmental management, which are not only of concern to individual countries but also have regional consequences. In this aspect, the study finds that strengthening linkages with the neighbouring dynamic economies of ASEAN becomes essential. The study focuses on Cambodia, Lao PDR and Viet Nam.
The publication includes papers presented both at the Forum for the Comprehensive Development of Indo-China, held in Tokyo, Japan from 26 to 27 February 1995, and at the Private Sector Symposium "Together We Advance" held in Bangkok, Thailand, on 24 March 1995. |
