APTCCN

Until 2012, the APTCCN (ASEAN Plus Three Cultural Cooperation Network) meeting was called the Networking of East Asia Culture Heritage (NEACH), but the name was changed because the current five-year plan includes broader issues, as follows:

1. The enhancement of regional cooperation in cultural fields through the establishment of a network of experts in related tangible and intangible fields;
2. The development a sense of regional identity among the ASEAN countries, Japan, South Korea and China;
3. And the necessity of common understanding in the areas of cultural heritage management, human resources development in the cultural context, and small- and medium-sized cultural enterprises development.
