Jakarta: East Asian
countries need to promote educational cooperation, facilitate
exchange of qualified people and earmark seats for students from
member countries in reputed institutions in the region, India's
Minister of State for Human Resource Development D. Purandeswari
said Thursday.

Summit Education Ministers Meeting (EAS-EMM) held Thursday in
