My online calendar reminded me of two related events in ASEAN destinations this month.
On Friday, July 7, the historic cities of George Town and Melaka, both in Malaysia, will celebrate their inscription into the UNESCO World Heritage List 15 years ago.
Both coastal cities in the Straits of Malacca, located about 500 kms. apart, serve as living testimonials to more than five centuries of business and cultural exchanges between Asia and Europe.
