1.6.Complete the missing links by 2015:

10a) Myanmar: AH112 (Thaton–Mawlamyine–Lehnya–Khlong Loy, 60 km)

AH112 Missing link constructed

NC/STOM of Myanmar

2015 u

The road section from Thanbyuzayat to Lehnya of AH112 has been upgraded to Class III with the funding from the Central and Local Governments. The entire length of AH112 is planned to upgrade to Class III with the loan from China EXIM Bank.

However, due to the low traffic, there is no plan to upgrade the missing link (extension section of AH112), Lehnya- Khlong Loy to Class III by 2015.

b) Myanmar: AH123 [Dawei (deepseaport)–Maesamepass (Phu Nam Ron) 132km +18 km (150 km)]

AH123 Missing link constructed

NC/STOM of Myanmar

2015 u

Myanmar Government is constructing the missing link with its national budget. Expected completion is in 2015.

In AH123, Dawei –Myittar section is being upgraded to class III standard. Myittar – Phu Nam Ron section is currently planning to overlay the surface layer.

Outcome

Responsible Bodies


56 1.1.

Expedite the ratification of the Agreements so as to enable their operationalisation in the region.

Agreements ratified.

STOM u

Pending Ratifications: AFAFGIT Protocol 1 (Designation of Transit Transport Routes and Facilities): Malaysia, Myanmar, and Singapore;AFAFGIT Protocol 6 (Railways Border and Interchange Stations): Brunei Darussalam, Indonesia, Lao PDR, Malaysia, Philippines, and Singapore;

Note: Myanmar ratified Protocol 6 on 3 February 2014. ASEAN Secretariat briefed TFWG on legal opinion regarding the requirement of ratification of Protocol 6 for ASEAN Member States which do not have railway connections with their neighboring countries. The 27th TFWG Meeting in April 2014 noted that instruments of ratifications of all ASEAN Member States are required for the AFAFGIT Protocol 6 for its entry into force.

AFAFGIT Protocol 9 (Dangerous Goods): Malaysia and Thailand;

AFAFIST: Brunei Darussalam, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, and Singapore

AFAMT: Brunei Darussalam, Indonesia, Lao PDR, Malaysia, Myanmar, and Singapore.

Strategy 1. Fully operationalise the three Framework Agreements on transport facilitation, i.e., ASEAN Framework Agreement on the Facilitation of Goods in Transit (AFAFGIT), ASEAN Framework Agreement on the Facilitation of Inter-State Transport (AFAFIST) and ASEAN Framework Agreement on Multimodal Transport (AFAMT)

107 1.2.

Encourage the establishment of curricular offerings or education modules on ASEAN and on the ASEAN countries, where appropriate.

ASEAN curriculum developed and being used in schools.

Senior Officials Meeting on Education (SOM-ED)

2012

Two projects completed: (a) Developing ASEAN Curriculum Sourcebook (for primary and secondary schools) (SOM-ED);(b) Development of ASEAN Studies Course for Undergraduate Students (AUN).

121 2.6.

Encourage more intra-ASEAN movement of skilled labour through the development of further MRAs by 2012 and the full implementation of all completed MRAs by 2015.

Increased intra-ASEAN movement of skilled labour.

SEOM/ CCS, SLOM/ ASEAN-NTOs/ DGICM

2015 u

There are seven (7) signed MRAs under the Coordinating Committee on Services (CCS). Five (5) are being implemented by the respective coordinating committees (Engineering, Architect, Nursing, Medical and Dental Practitioners), while the other 2 (Accountancy & Land Surveying) are in the form of Framework MRA to facilitate the actual MRAs in 2+X formula. MRA on Tourism Professionals was adopted in January 2009 covering 32 job titles under six (6) divisions, namely: housekeeping, front office, food and beverage services, food production, travel agency and tour operator and 52 qualifications on Tourism and Hospitality listed in common ASEAN Tourism Curriculum.
