Journalists engaging with South Asian regional cooperation in Kathmandu


Posted on June 16, 2012  /  0 Comments

I was in Kathmandu June 11-13 for a World Bank workshop on regional cooperation for journalists. I could have talked about the challenges of increasing integration in the world’s least integrated region through the lens of the battles over CEPA. But I decided to talk about a subject that was much more mundane, but one where we at LIRNEasia could provide current factual information that no one else could: the related topics in intra-SAARC calling charges being too high and within SAARC roaming charges being rapacious. The talk is here.

The media included:
Nepal’s Republica and Sri Lanka’s LBO. The Nepali language Nagarika also carried a story.
