An innovative CLMV Attachment Officers
Programme, a project-oriented learning opportunity for officers from
ministries of the governments of Cambodia, Lao PDR, Myanmar and Viet Nam
(CLMV) to gain experience on regional cooperation under the ASEAN
Economic Community (AEC) and ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community (ASCC)
Blueprints commenced at the ASEAN Secretariat (ASEC).
“We very much welcome the additional
CLMV officers to ASEC. The topics that ASEAN is now engaged with in the
economic and socio-cultural spheres require the officers to understand
and appreciate the regional perspective,” says H.E. Le Luong Minh,
Secretary-General of ASEAN during his recent meeting with the officers.
“That will be their main education and contribution to ASEAN,” he added.
Eight Officers from the CLMV will be
assigned in various AEC and ASCC departments and divisions to partake in
programmes and areas of cooperation. Officers will receive hands-on
assignment based on ASEC’s current operational needs and work
collaboratively with ASEC staff to gain a deeper understanding of
regional issues while contributing to its daily work. The Officers will
also become familiarized with the work, activities, and procedures
pertaining to ASEC, including preparing and organizing meetings and
conferences under the ASEAN framework. In the process, the Officers are
able to form themselves as a network of CLMV professionals, bonded by a
common experience and compassion toward achieving ASEAN goals.
After the year-long attachment
programme, the competency, capacity, and confidence of the participating
Officers in managing AEC and ASCC-related matters of their home
countries are expected to be enhanced. The programme is also expected to
deepen the participants’ understanding and knowledge about ASEAN’s
strategic partnership with dialogue partners, especially with Japan.
“This programme will help the CLMV
narrow the development gap with ASEAN-6 and thus contribute to the
efforts of ASEAN to building the ASEAN Community by 2015. Please take
this opportunity to learn what is happening on the ground,” says H.E.
Kimihiro Ishikane, Ambassador of Japan to ASEAN last week when he met
the officers.
The Attachment of Officers from
Cambodia, Lao PDR, Myanmar, and Viet Nam for AEC and ASCC Involvement at
the ASEAN Secretariat is a new initiative of the Government of Japan
supported through the Japan ASEAN Integration Fund (JAIF).
