Indonesia-Malaysia-Thailand Growth Triangle (IMT-GT)

27th IMT-GT Ministerial Meeting (Online) on 6th August 2021 (9.30 a.m.-2.30 p.m.)

In conjunction with the 27th IMT-GT Ministerial Meeting on 6th August 2021 (Friday) chaired by YB Dato’ Sri Mustapa bin Mohamed, Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Economy), a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) Signing Ceremony had been held online involving Langkawi UNESCO Global Geopark (LUGGp), Satun UNESCO Global Geopark (SUGGp), and Toba Caldera UNESCO Global Geopark (TCUGGp).

LUGGp was represented by YBrs. Tuan Haji Rohaizad bin Rashid, Deputy Chief Executive Officer (Management) of LADA, whereas SUGGp and TCUGGp were respectively presented by Narongrit Thungprue (Director of SUGGp) and Ir. Mangindar Simbolon (General Manager of TCUGGp).

Some of the MoU’s essential contents include a collaboration proposal between the three geoparks in educational and research activities, cultural and tourism development, as well as sustainable development promotion.

With the virtual signing of such agreement, LUGGp therefore hopes the collaboration between all three countries could be solidified. This, therefore, could strengthen the Southeast Asian geopark destinations promotional campaign through potential collaboration opportunities that will be implemented once the international borders are opened soon.
