This project underscores the long-term commitment of Huawei to collaborate and prepare the ASEAN youth for the changing world of work and industry&#8217;s demands. I also commend the Huawei ASEAN Academy for working with local stakeholders to train 23,465 ICT professionals from <span class=\"xn-location\">Malaysia<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-location\">Thailand<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-location\">Cambodia<\/span>, and <span class=\"xn-location\">Indonesia<\/span>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Executive Director of ASEAN Foundation, Dr. <span class=\"xn-person\">Yang Mee Eng<\/span> said: &#8220;The growth of ASEAN Digital Economy is entirely dependent on the capability of the region&#8217;s young people to participate in it.
