Following the kick-off meeting on 21 October 2013 in Sendai, Japan, the second project meeting of the CCOP-ASEAN Harmonized Geology Project has been held on 3 March 2014 in Chiangmai, Thailand in conjunction with the 62nd CCOP Steering Committee. The meeting was attended by 16 participants from CCOP member countries (Japan, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam). The meeting started with an introduction of CCOP-ASEAN Seamless Geology Project and followed by discussion on concept, task group and plan of this project.
