Conclusions
Trade agreements in the ASEAN region in general and in
the GMS in particular have already driven both intraASEAN trade and cross-border trade in the GMS.
Cross-border trade gaps in the GMS need to be minimized
through preferential duty free access from more advanced to
less advanced countries towards fair trade.
Technical assistance, capacity building or Aid for
Trade should be rendered to less advanced countries so
that they can be efficiently integrated into the GMS crossborder trade interaction/relations.
