Message from the Chairperson @YEAFEO Newsletter 2020

Dear colleagues and friends

2020 is a special year. The ASEAN has grown strong to become the world’s 5 ^thlargest economy, a key actor that holds centrality in advancing dialogue and cooperation for peace, security and prosperity of the region.

These have been tested in an environment full of unprecedented challenges, particularly the COVID-19 pandemic which enable us to stand hand-in-hand in the face of immense challenges and keep forging ahead. Clearly, ASEAN has well displayed its courage and resilience amid complex dynamics to strengthen its centrality, unity and resilience.

We, the ASEAN Young Engineers under the umbrella of the ASEAN Federation of Engineering Organization (AFEO), have been making continuous efforts to restore production and return life to normal with whole-hearted devotion in the pandemic joint response. These concerted actions have strengthened the bonds between and amongst AFEO member organisations and YEAFEO members indeed. 

As the CAFEO38 is about to happen, I believe that ASEAN young engineers at their commitments will enlarge contributions in realising YEAFEO’s utmost mission of “To be dynamic and progressive organization that leads to the development of young engineers in the ASEAN region”.

There is still much to do. I do hope that the YEAFEO’s restless efforts will result in practical applications that will improve the quality of life for ordinary people across the region advancing its collective efforts to respond to COVID-19 thus far.

I wish all a fruitful and enjoyable “new normal life”.

NGUYEN Thanh Hai (Mr.)

Concurrent Chairperson of the YEAFEO 2020
