Private-public partnership in ASEAN is being enhanced with a tie-up between the Siam Cement Foundation in Thailand and the ASEAN Foundation based in Jakarta to offer up to eight scholarships for ASEAN government officers and high school/university students to study in Thailand. A Memorandum of Understanding will be signed by the two foundations next week (31 March 2009) to formalise the co-operation, which will kick off in April this year. This scholarship programme will contribute to human resource development in the region, thus helping to build the ASEAN Community.
