SUMMARY:2020 Workshop on ASEAN ASSIST Platform and Private Sector Consultation Mechanisms
DESCRIPTION:The US-ASEAN Business Council\, together with other Joint Business Councils (JBCs)\, recently attended the 4th ARISE Plus Roundtable Discussion on Trade Facilitation on January 21 in Bangkok to discuss current rules and procedures to support private sector engagement in ASEAN\, including the ASEAN Solutions for Investments\, Services and Trade (ASSIST) platform.
