The Symposium consists of a main plenary session where speakers from the government and private sectors, academia and research sectors, and international organizations will speak on topics relating to key initiatives in the Master Plan including facilitating intra- and extra-ASEAN trade, connecting mainland and archipelagic Southeast Asia and building a people-centered ASEAN.
