Asean-CEO summit discuss ways to overcome global economic meltdown

Journalists are expected to look for their own stories when there are no assignments, the same is expected of us when we are on an overseas coverage.

My main objective when covering the 2009 Asean-RoK summit was to report on what His Majesty, the Sultan of Brunei, was doing and who he met with. But when the Sultan takes a break. it doesn't mean that we get to rest or explore Korea... It just means we have to look for other stories.

You can be creative when it comes to looking for your own stories. I wrote a piece at the same event where Bruneian musicians participated in a traditional music orchestra on the sidelines of the summit.

The story below was more straightforward where businessmen and industry players from Asean and Korea gathered to brainstorm and discuss ways to improve the global economy.
