Beyond Pandemic & Politics: Behold Southeast Asia and the World

Come together with global decision makers, including Minister for Education, Chan Chun Sing, to discuss opportunities in Southeast Asia.

In the past year, the COVID-19 pandemic and the ongoing US-China trade war have disrupted regional and global trade. The world has also witnessed ASEAN, together with Australia, China, Japan, South Korea, and New Zealand signing the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) Agreement, the world's largest free trade agreement to date.

Along with the rise of China Plus One strategy, the growing importance of sustainability and energy diversification, the new White House administration and its resulting impact on foreign and trade policy with Asia, the stage is set for a new world order. 

Bringing global thinkers, decision makers and business leaders together, this event will discuss how the impact of the global pandemic and geopolitics, together with mega trends such as sustainability and energy diversification define the emerging new normal. 

Join us to find out how these developments will impact global trade and investments, explore how global businesses should re-examine and reorder their supply chains in Asia, and the challenges and opportunities for businesses in economically, geographically and politically strategic Southeast Asia, including the special role of Singapore as a safe harbour and springboard into the region.
