Mahathir Mohammad. In 1993, the former President of Indonesia, H.E. Suharto, Prime
Minister of Thailand, H.E. Chuan Leekpai and HE. Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohammad was
endorsed the formalisation of IMT-GT in Langkawi, Malaysia.
IMT-GT provides a sub-regional framework for accelerating economic cooperation and integration of the member states and provinces in the three countries. It promotes private-sector-led economic growth and facilitates the development of the sub-region as a whole by exploiting the underlying complementarities and comparative advantages of the member countries.

Brunei Darussalam-Indonesia-Malaysia-Philippines-East ASEAN Growth Area (BIMP EAGA)
BIMP-EAGA is a cooperation initiative established in 1994 to spur development in
remote and less developed areas in the four participating Southeast Asian countries.
The subregion covers the entire sultanate of Brunei Darussalam; the provinces of
Kalimantan, Sulawesi, Maluku, and West Papua of Indonesia; the states of Sabah and
Sarawak and the federal territory of Labuan in Malaysia; and the island of Mindanao and
the province of Palawan in the Philippines. These areas are geographically far from the
national capitals, yet strategically close to each other. These states and provinces
account for over 60% of the land area of the BIMP-EAGA countries; yet they make up
about 18.8% of the total population and 18.4% of the labor force.
Through BIMP-EAGA, the four countries want to generate balanced and inclusive growth as well as contribute to regional economic integration in the ASEAN Economic Community. They want to boost trade, tourism, and investments by easing the movement of people, goods, and services across borders; making the best use of common infrastructure and natural resources; and taking the fullest advantage of economic complementation.
