The workshop was conducted by BSI in cooperation with Viet Nam as part of the Foreign Commonwealth Development Office’s Standards Partnership programme. The aim was to raise awareness and understanding of the critical role e-commerce standards play in digital economy integration, and brought together policymakers, standards developers and private and public sector representatives from across 10 ASEAN member states.
Speakers from the Institute of Standards of Cambodia, the Vietnam e-commerce and Digital Economy Agency (MOIT), the Infocom Media Development Authority (IMDA) of Singapore, and BSI experts shared insights on digital trade standards and the key areas that most effectively promote trade and foster closer cooperation among countries within the ASEAN region.
