“It is a game changer in which we want to take a traditional topic like trade and business and spearhead it into something that it relatable to everyone across all walks of life!”
“The more people understand the importance of trade and the magnitude it brings to socio-economic landscapes globally, the more we are able to drive its agenda,especially within the Asean Economic Community. However, to achieve this, we will have to work together as one – a united single market.”
He added that the Summit is significant as a platform for industry players to come together with a common purpose – of doing business – “all in one place, in Selangor, the gateway to Asean.”
