Xe Pian BCI on Channel News Asia
In October 2012, ADB took regional journalists along the East-West Economic Corridor, from coastal Vietnam to the Lao-Thai border to see first hand the impact of GMS Program support. As part of the press tour, EOC and Lao PDR's Minstry of Natural Resources and Environment organized a two-day visit to the Xe Pian Biodiversity Conservation Corridors Pilot Site in Champassak Province. There journalists saw how the Core Environment Program's work has benefited local people and their environment.
Channel News Asia have since aired a documentary on the East-West Economic Corridor, including a segment on the BCI visit (minutes 17:25 - 21:25).
