It was co-hosted by the Ministry of Economy and Finance of the Royal Government of the Kingdom of Cambodia and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). This seminar was a follow-up to the first seminar, held in March 2001 in Tokyo, and was attended by 38 participants, senior officials and civil society representatives from the seven ASEAN countries, namely Cambodia, Indonesia, Lao PDR, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand and Viet Nam. The December seminar was interactive, allowing participants to share their experiences in developing social protection systems in the various countries represented.
