SEAN member countries need to improve cooperation particularly on labor issues to boost prosperity and economic growth ahead of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) in 2015, a minister has said.
'Regional cooperation in the field of labor among ASEAN countries is needed so as to promote economic growth and prosperity in the country and the region,' Manpower and Transmigration Minister Muhaimin Iskandar said said as quoted by Antara news agency.
Muhaimin attended the 23rd ASEAN Labor Ministers Meeting (ALMM) that discussed preparations for the AEC 2015.
The biannual ALMM meeting is taking place on May 21-22, 2014, attended by 10 manpower ministers of ASEAN member countries and representatives from China, Japan and South Korea.
The theme of ALMM, which is being held in Myanmar's capital Nay Pyi Taw, is strengthening the competitiveness of labor in creating harmonious conditions and a progressive and prosperous workplace.
Muhaimin said the ASEAN labor ministers should develop coordination and cooperate more intensively to prepare for the 2015 AEC.
