The ASEAN Coordinating Council (ACC) launched three Master Plan on ASEAN Connectivity (MPAC) 2025 priority deliverables and the ASEAN Connectivity microsite at the 22nd ACC Meeting on Tuesday, 13 November 2018 in Singapore. The three deliverables are: (i) the establishment of a rolling priority pipeline of ASEAN infrastructure projects to attract more public and private investments into infrastructure in ASEAN; (ii) the development of a sustainable urbanisation strategy for ASEAN, with city specific-action plans and tool kits for cities to use as a template to mitigate urban challenges; and (iii)the study on the adoption of digital technology by micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) to ascertain how to encourage more regional MSMEs to use digital technology as an enabler to increase their capacities and amplify their reach. PR Tan Hung Seng handed over the publications outlining the purpose, status, and next steps on each of the three deliverables to Singapore’s Minister for Foreign Affairs Dr Vivian Balakrishnan.
