Let us see how AEC can be projected as a win-win situation for all countries of Asia.
First, let us define what Asia is and who are likely members of AEC.
Let me pose the first three questions while underscoring that this AEC is intended to be a socio-cultural-economic community (unlike EEC which is only an economic community, now with a currency called Euro):
1. ASEAN member countries are the obvious choice to become founding members of AEC; can this ASEAN group be expanded further into an Asian Economic Community (AEC)?
2. Why is SAARC a failure in not taking the lead on AEC?
3. Any problems in defining AEC as a socio-cultural-economic community?
