CLARK FREEPORT -- The Pampanga Provincial Government commended the Clark Development Corporation (CDC) for its help in the successful staging of the 31st Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) Summit and Related Meetings in November 2017.
In its resolution, the Provincial Board lauded CDC “for its full assistance and active participation in the Task Group Clark Asean 2017 which guaranteed the peaceful and systematic outcome of the event.”
The state-owned firm was part of the task group composed of representatives from various government agencies and offices, including Philippine National Police and Armed Forces of the Philippines.
The task group was formed following a memorandum circular issued by the Office of the President that enjoined all government agencies, government-owned and controlled corporations, and local government units to extend full support and participation in carrying out the activity.
Clark Freeport has been a preferred venue for business and conferences and became the official site for the Asean 2017.
With the theme “Partnering for Change Engaging the World,” more than 20 heads of states and representatives participated during the event to promote unity and enhance cooperation among the member states and its global partners.
