ASEAN: Railway project to link countries to China
Updated
Southeast Asian countries are seeking to raise $US2 billion by the end of the year to complete a railway system that will eventually stretch from China to Singapore, and link seven ASEAN countries in the region. After years of delay and funding problems, it's hoped that new funds will be raised during an investors' meeting later this year.
Presenter: Girish Sawlani
Speakers: Dr. Anish Kumar Roy, director, Office of Coordination, ASEAN Secretariat; Dr. Hiro Katsumata, research fellow, Rajaratnam School of International Studies, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore
