This Action Plan identifies five strategic goals that will contribute to the collective
transformation of ASEAN into a competitive region with the use of IP. With this new Plan,
ASEAN will work towards economic integration through intensified cooperation, with AMSs
acting as leads for initiatives that will be more focused and with specific deliverables that will
move the region closer to its goal. The AWGIPC will ensure ownership and accountability
by AMSs of the projects to be undertaken and heightened collaboration in the
implementation of regional activities and projects.
