Toyota will invest Rs 1,400 crore in building a new plant from which this new car will roll out of.Both Thailand and Indonesia have plants which produce engines. Though Toyota is looking at localizing majority of the components, the engine and transmission would most likely be imported from the existing plants in those two countries.

Southeast Asian leaders signed on Tuesday an ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) blueprint aimed at turning the regional grouping into a single market and production base by 2015. The blueprint is one of the pillars for the creation of a single market and production base signed in the 13th ASEAN Summit here. The other pillars concern equitable economic development and full integration into the global economy. The AEC blueprint called for substantial reduction of all forms of non tariff barriers, including restrictions on market access, to increase the flow of goods and services from one country to another in the region. To improve the bloc`s competitive edge, the blueprint called for close cooperation in new areas such as competition policy, consumer protection, protection of intellectual property rights, development of infrastructure and improvement of e-commerce system. To achieve flexible economy and increase capital, the blueprint underlined the need to improve the competitive e

Singapura - Asean dan Uni Eropa sama-sama organisasi kawasan. Meski tampaknya UE lebih maju daripada Asean, namun Asean tak seharusnya mengejar UE. “Jangan kejar UE karena kita memang punya sejarah yang berbeda,” ujar mantan Menlu Ali Alatas di sela-sela KTT Asean di Hotel Shangri La, Singapura, Rabu (22/11/2007). Dibeberkan dia, dalam waktu 40 tahun, masyarakat Eropa telah terintegrasi, sedangkan Asean masih menuju ke arah itu. Namun EU awalnya juga dibentuk karena adanya ketakutan pada Uni Soviet. Sehingga Uni Soviet dijadikan musuh bersama. “Anggota EU juga saling kenal satu sama lain, tidak seperti kita. Sehingga perlu waktu untuk saling mengenal. Namun kita harus terus maju dan melakukan integrasi yang mendalam,” lanjut diplomat senior ini. Terkait dengan banyaknya kerjasama Asean plus negara lainnya di luar kawasan Asia Tenggara, ditambahkan pria berkacamata ini, hanya Asean yang bisa merangkul negara-negara itu. “Buktinya negara seperti Jepang dan C

Singapura - Negara Asean menyepakati adanya Piagam Asean. Piagam itu baru bisa dijalankan setelah diratifikasi seluruh negara anggotanya. Bila tak ada aral melintang, piagam itu akan bisa dijalankan mulai KTT Asean 2008 di Bangkok, Thailand. “Beberapa pihak mengatakan, dalam 1 tahun bisa teratifikasi,” ujar mantan Menlu Ali Alatas di sela-sela sela KTT Asean di Hotel Shangri La, Singapura, Rabu (22/11/2007). Anggota Wantimpres ini mengatakan bila sudah diratifikasi, semua aturan bisa diberlakukan, dan bisa diawasi pelaksanaannya. Semua ketentuan yang ada dalam piagam adalah ketentuan umum, dan piagam ini tidak pernah dibuat untuk ditujukan pada satu negara semata. Dalam kesempatan berbeda, PM Singapura Lee Hsien Loong berkomentar, Piagam Asean adalah dokumen yang baik yang bisa mengekspresikan keinginan dan kepentingan negara-negara Asean. “Ini sangat penting karena baru ada setelah 40 tahun Asean berdiri,” ujar Loong di tempat yang sama. Dia juga menyampaikan a

BBC did a report on the clumsy show of force by the military government during their confrontations with the monks and civilians. You can read the report on BBC’s website. Though there has been few deaths since the start of the anti-government protest sometime last week, I was disgusted by the way the junta treated the citizens, in particular the monks, who are highly reputed in the Buddhist nation. The people were severely beaten with rifle butts by the soldiers but despite the use of force on them, the Burmeses seemed resolute to fight for democracy this time round and to free their democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi (They were brutally crushed by the junta in 1988 and many thousands died). The political event has resulted in US and European Union calling for economic sanctions but these were rejected by Burma’s ally, China, stating the sanctions would not be helpful. In my opinion, Singapore Government, the current Chairman of the ASEAN, sho
