Aklan province starts preparation for ASEAN Summit

Aklan province and the municipal government of Malay are now starting to prepare for the Association of South East Asian Nation (ASEAN) Summit in 2017.

Aklan Governor Florencio Miraflores said that the National Organizing Council (NOC) of the ASEAN has already conducted initial ocular inspection for Boracay as a summit venue.

Report said Boracay will host at least four separate meetings on January and February of 2017.

"We still had to receive information on what topics would be discussed in the ASEAN meet in Boracay," said Miraflores.

The Aklan provincial government is confident that the anticipated ASEAN summit in Boracay would be done peacefully and successfully.

"We had already hosted series of international events in this resort island such as the Asia Pacific Economic Conference (APEC) and the ASEAN Summit on Chief Justices. It will be easy for our security officers to initiate enforcement as they had already done it before," Miraflores said.
