This discussion is not only a forum for discussion but also for sharing the experiences between the two countries (Indonesia and Malaysia) in order to deal with the economic trends in the region of Southeast Asia Nations (ASEAN) in 2015. As it is known, in 21st KTT (High Conference) in Cebu – Philippines in 2007, ASEAN has been determined to be an integrated region, as set down in the document of “Cebu Declaration on the Acceleration of the Establishment of an ASEAN Community by 2015”. ASEAN Community – in accordance with Bali Concord II in 2003 – consist of 3 (three) pillars: ASEAN Political-Security Community (ASC), ASEAN Economic Community (AEC), and Community ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community (ASCC). Surely, through this activity, the academics can interact each other to discuss the issues. Besides, this discussion became a media where the academics could interact and discuss each other about the issues and bring benefits for people of Indonesia and Malaysia. (Eci)
