Conclude Asean Open Skies accord on time: S'pore PM
SINGAPORE, Nov 1 (WorldACD) - Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong has called for on time delivery of the Association of South-East Asian Nations' (Asean) open skies agreement, saying the group's ability to meet the December 2008 deadline for capital city liberalisation would show to the world it can transform plans into outcomes.
"This is a high-profile sector closely watched by others as a key indicator of Asean's resolve to pursue closer economic integration," he said at the opening the 13th Asean Transport Ministers' Meeting here today.
All transport ministers from the 10-member grouping attended the meeting accompanied by their respective transport officials.
