For example, the first successful step toward regional economic cooperation in East Asia was the Chiang Mai Initiative for international currency swaps, which followed the 1997-1998 crisis. Similarly, the Six-Party Talks on the denuclearization of North Korea, though producing no significant results so far, remain the only useful mechanism for addressing the problem collectively.
比如说，向区域经济合作成功迈进的第一步就是在1997~1998年危机后达成的清迈国际货币互换协议。同样，关于朝鲜核问题的六方会谈虽然至今未能取得重大成果，但依然是合作应对这一问题的唯一有效机制。
