ASEAN Guidelines for Strengthening Resilience and Repair of Submarine Cables

摘要

In October 2019, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Telecommunication and Information Technology Ministers adopted the ASEAN Guidelines for Strengthening Resilience and Repair of Submarine Cables. This instrument represents an important increase in awareness by the Association of the importance of a swift process for authorising the repair of submarine cables. This article suggests the next steps to be taken by ASEAN to improve the process of granting permits for repairing submarine cables in ASEAN Member States.
