The formation was intended for a peaceful and borderless trading, fishing, educational and tourism areas without any borders, without any protocols. BIMP-EAGA covers the entire sultanate of Brunei; 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 Mindanao and the province of Palawan in the Philippines. The sub-region covers a land area of 1.6 million square kilometers with an estimated population of 69 million, according to data from the Asian Development Bank.
