Angela Greenfield Aug 21, 2010:
directions of cooperation vs. areas of cooperation While I don't particularly like "directions" myself, it has a connotation of a forward action (i.e. forward movement towards something that is not there yet), while "areas" evoke an image of a pool of things (something that is already established). IMHO
I found this example in an Indian document (http://www.dot.gov/ost/ogc/FTA/India MOC 2008.PDF):
In order to coordinate the cooperative activities, each Participant may designate a representative to be responsible for determining the particular directions of cooperation and for ensuring the effectiveness of exchange. http://www.dot.gov/ost/ogc/FTA/India MOC 2008.PDF
