NPA in Asia

NPAs work in the Eastern part of Asia has its background in long lasting wars and conflicts.

In Southeast Asia “the Vietnam war” involved most countries in the Northern part of the region in the 60-ies and 70-ies and some of these countries are still struggling with reconstruction towards an economic, social and democratic development.
