President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo has called on ASEAN countries to swiftly implement a so-called travel corridor as part of the region’s efforts to restore an economy battered badly by the COVID-19 outbreak.

At the 37th ASEAN Summit hosted by Vietnam on Thursday member states agreed on the framework for an ASEAN travel corridor arrangement (TCA) for essential business travelers. Jokowi, attending the summit online, urged a swift, efficient move from the ASEAN coordination and sectoral boards to implement the measure.

Jokowi had already proposed such an arrangement during an ASEAN Summit in June.
