During the two-day meeting, delegates will discuss various fields of co-operation, particularly the economic and development co-operation between the ASEAN and India; the implementation of agreements reached at the 4th ASEAN-India Summit in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia late last year; and the projects within the framework of the ASEAN-India Action Programme.
They will review the mutual assistance in the ASEAN integration process and narrowing the development gap between old and new member countries of the bloc; the areas of co-operation, which India could help ASEAN-member countries such as English training and information technology.
The delegates will also review the advantages and disadvantages during the implementation of co-operation proposals and projects.
India will undertake the role of ASEAN-India co-ordinator beginning July 2006.
