Support the strengthening of policies to monitor and promote the participation of MSMEs in cross-border goods and services e-commerce for an inclusive and sustainable pandemic response and recovery in East Asia and Latin America.
The project’s objectives are twofold: 1) To deepen the understanding of policymakers, businesses, researchers and other stakeholders in FEALAC countries regarding the micro and macro dynamics of e-commerce goods and services marketplaces and the challenges and opportunities for MSMEs to participate in this new area of domestic and foreign trade. 2) Propose policy recommendations - based on a review of policies and regulations on cross-border e-commerce in FEALAC countries – on how to monitor and promote the participation of MSMEs in cross-border goods and services e-commerce. Beneficiaries: This project benefits FEALAC member countries in both Southeast and East Asia and Latin America, building on existing work carried out by ECLAC and ESCAP. In the case of ECLAC, it has recently surveyed implemented e-commerce policies in Latin America, particular since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, showing that 9 out of 18 surveyed countries had a national strategy to promote and develop e-commerce. Of the other half, Argentina, Costa Rica, and Mexico indicated that the pandemic prompted the development of a national strategy, while the rest reported that a strategy was in progress. Moreover, ECLAC has worked on regulation on e-commerce in 13 countries in the region. This project would allow for the deepening and geographical broadening of its analysis of implemented policies and regulations. In the case of ESCAP, it has, mainly in collaboration with the Asian Development Bank and OECD, jointly carried out research and analysis to provide policy advice to governments . Furthermore, ESCAP in collaboration with ADB and OECD have organized capacity building activities. The work on expanding and deepening digital trade regulatory analysis in FEALAC member States in Asia will significantly contribute to reducing regulatory distance and enhancing the opportunity of cross-border digital trade between all FEALAC economies. This project will also provide an opportunity to explore the impacts of COVID on the development of e-commerce in FEALAC member states in Asia and their policy implications. Findings of the studies will be disseminated through multiple forums to ensure the visibility of the results and their policy implications. Finally, the project will include capacity building activities to ensure that analysts and policymakers from FEALAC countries are equipped with the right tools to efficiently use them to formulate better policies to enhance more sustainable and inclusive cross-border e-commerce strategies.
Sharing Thailand’s development experience through webinars
Initiated in 2020 amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, Thailand’s national project, titled “Sharing Thailand’s development experience through webinars” aims to provide holistic knowledge in development issues and tackle common challenges in travel distances and time differences in the FEALAC region through the provision of short-term webinar recordings from Thailand’s Annual International Training Courses (AITC), operated by Thailand International Development Agency (TICA). For 3 consecutive years, Thailand has been offering various AITC webinar recordings related to COVID-19 health measures and management, Public Health, Sufficiency Economy Philosophy (SEP), Climate Change and Environmental Issues, Agriculture and Food Security, and Others to all FEALAC member countries. This national project is not only a part of Thailand’s unceasing contribution to FEALAC but also another evidence of Thailand’s mission to strengthen the Sustainable Development Goals and 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. In continuation with our project in 2021, this year, Thailand is pleased to offer 5 recordings from 5 AITC webinars to FEALAC member countries in the following topics: 1. Practical Sustainable Technology as a Tool to Tackle the Climate Change (Faculty of Engineering, Chiangmai University) 2. Early Childhood Health Promotion and Health Care Management Beyond COVID-19 Era (Faculty of Nursing, Prince of Songkhla Univeristy) 3. Sustainable Forest for Poverty Reduction and Food Security in Thailand: “harmonizing local people and forests in the context of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)” (Royal Forest Development, Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment) 4. The Next Normal with Sustainable Community-based Eco-tourism Development under 4P Model 2022 (Academic Service Center, Burapha University) 5. Food Safety Quality Infrastructure for Market Access for Developing countries (Mekong Institute) Therefore, Thailand wishes to invite all interested member countries to participate in this project and make use of the availability of knowledge in the above-mentioned webinar courses which contain important issues for advancing the FEALAC region and pusing forward FEALAC’s commitment towards the global development agenda.

2023 FEALAC Supporters Program
At the 9th Foreign Ministers' Meeting in the Dominican Republic, greater visibility for FEALAC was identified as a key need, as stated in the Declaration on "Strengthening the Institutional Framework of FEALAC". In response, the Republic of Korea and the Cyber Secretariat developed a Public Relations Program aimed at increasing FEALAC's visibility in Korea. These efforts build on the FEALAC Supporters Program that was launched in 2019 to commemorate the 20th anniversary of FEALAC. Comprised mainly of undergraduate and graduate students interested in FEALAC and the two regions, East Asia and Latin America, the FEALAC Supporters have organized various public relations events to introduce FEALAC to the Korean public. Korea aims to enhance FEALAC's visibility in the country and inform a wider audience about FEALAC's significance for Korea's foreign policy by actively using online platforms. To achieve this goal, Korea and the Cyber Secretariat have established popular social media accounts, such as a blog channel, Instagram, and YouTube, as part of the FEALAC Supporters Program.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Korea is pleased to propose the "FEALAC Youth Language & Culture Exchange Program (LCEP)" as a FEALAC regional cooperative project for the year 2023.

Therefore, we kindly request each FEALAC member country to recommend one to two university students who can participate in the program. The youth participants will have the opportunity to engage in immersive cultural experiences, interact with their counterparts from different countries, and develop a broader perspective of the FEALAC community. Through activities such as language learning, and cultural workshops, the project aims to facilitate meaningful connections and lasting friendships among the youth of East Asia and Latin America.
