Presentations were structured around the ASEAN Economic Community, the ASEAN Political-Security Community and ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community. After each lecture the different stakeholders had the opportunity to enter into a dialogue with each other to discuss the status quo of Myanmar’s integration and possible future implications of further integration.
