In the foreseeable future, countries agreed to step up projects within the framework of the Master Plan’s 15 initiatives, including raising responsibility of coordinating agencies, improving inter-sectoral collaboration and actively calling for aid from financial partners and organisations.

During the first joint consultation meeting between the ACCC and 10 full and 4 field dialogue partners, partners pledged to make connectivity a priority in their cooperation with ASEAN in the future and consider joining in the 15 initiatives.

In another meeting, the ACCC and the European Union (EU) promised to incorporate the Master Plan into the EU’s support programmes for ASEAN in the 2014-2020 period.
