AEC News Today Information

AEC News Today is a new 21-st century online news site targeted specifically at the Asean Economic Community (AEC) and those that are already doing business in the ten member nations and who see the AEC as delivering opportunities for expansion and diversification, or those contemplating establishing a presence in the region. We aim to be the eyes, ears and voice of the AEC – serving up English-language stories focusing on the continuing integration and development of the Asean Community (AC). Being a 21-st century publication we will present material in photographic, written, and video format depending on circumstances. Our overall editorial policy is good governance and the promotion of business and social growth throughout the region. While mostly middle-of-the-road, we won’t hesitate to deviate left or right if the facts warrant it. Our only interest in politics is the effect it has on business and society. We also hope to not just report the news, but to also add relevant insight and analysis to each story. In addition to articles affecting business and industry in the region we’ll also be looking at healthcare, education, security, infrastructure and leisure topics – culture, travel, destinations, touring and special Asean deals, in addition to the property markets in the different Asean member countries. We also aim to keep our readers up-to-date with the latest changes to laws relating to trade, investment and taxes, as well as the very import South China Sea area. In addition to our own writers and editors we seek to encourage business owners and managers throughout the region to write about their particular industry sector and how the AEC is affecting them. Things that are going well; things that aren’t being done; and suggestions on what is needed are what we want to hear about. And yes, we will protect your identity if necessary for the truth to be told.
