PARIS: Japanese Prime Minister KISHIDA Fumio on Thursday unveiled a plan to launch a program to pump a total of 8 million euros over the next three years to facilitate economic growth in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations.

Kishida was speaking at a meeting on cooperation with ASEAN at the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development headquarters in Paris.

The planned program aims to utilize the OECD’s highly reliable data and policy recommendation capabilities for growth in ASEAN countries.
