Since June 2002 in Cha-Am Thailand,

Since June 2002 in Cha-Am Thailand, The Asia Cooperation Dialogue (ACD) was opening and aim to collaboration among Asian counties in communication, culture and economic. The ACD had creating new issue without duplication other organizations and supporting to expand trade and investment. The ACD work for enhance economic wealth and reduce poverty. Good education, transportation, connectivity and good health etc.
Asia is the world’s largest and most populous continent with a population of 4.3 billion people1 [1Asia population 2013: World Bank] and the variety of cultural and natural resource are strengths to making Asia is a largest market for trade and attracts various investments
From the strength of region has wide variety of cultural and natural resource. The ACD had been meeting to develop tourism business, e-education, energy, financial market and to produce the world’s food product.
When we think about natural resource; there are variety natural resources in Asia such as island, minerals, beach, waterfall, desert and forest etc. These are attracting tourist and tourism business expansion. As well as the diversity of plants, there are several types of food production to meet the demand. To increase employment, reduce poverty and people have good health and education.
Think about cultural; there are 32 countries in Asia are member of ACD, although we have differences cultural but we can use the difference for expand trade and investment among member and not member. When trade and investment increase therefore decrease unemployment and reduce poverty.
However, I think that was of founder ACD is one of proactive policies that are intended to increase wealth and reduce poverty from variety of cultural and natural resource of members.
