Enhancing Connectivity and Fostering Resilience in ASEAN

Additionally, Kommasith emphasized that ASEAN countries need to collectively adopt a collaborative approach. Jointly tackling climate change impacts, economic disparities, and social inequities is paramount. ASEAN countries must make concerted efforts to surmount these formidable regional challenges.
Promoting BRICS IN4U and Fostering Future Collaboration
