Abstract

In a period not longer than 10 years (2002 – to present), 13 provinces at the common border of Cambodia-Laos-Vietnam (CLV Development Triangle) have cooperated for common development and achieved a lot of successes in the socio-economic field. At present, the socio-cultural field is being preferably promoted for development, aimed at integration and sustainable development. This success is not only due to efforts of the three countries and local authorities but also contributions of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) in backing, supporting the development of the Triangle. Achievements in social development of the Triangle area are expressed through education and training, health, labour-employment, hunger elimination and poverty reduction and culture. Whereby, we can see successes and limitations, opportunities and challenges of the development process as well as consider and orient development of the whole area in the near future. This paper mentions to social and cultural development in the Development Triangle (CLV) and the Role of ASEAN in this Area.
