Asian Economic Cooperation and Integration: Progress, Prospects, Challenges
Asian Development Bank | June 2005
Abstract
The presence of transportation and communication networks Is a key element of any integration plan. Infrastructure development and connectivity are also key components of economic development In Asia,
Regional and subregional economic cooperation programs always involve several geographically connected countries, especially the border areas of those countries. Border regions usually are underdeveloped areas because they are far from commercial centers in every country. Moreover, geographical difficulties, such as high mountains and thick forests, make any infrastructure development almost technically impossible to Implement. Thus, Increasing connectivity In such regions faces tough challenges.
