Meeting with the Secretary-General of ASEAN Dr. Kao Kim Hourn

Chairman Tan Sri Nazir Razak had a highly constructive meeting with the Secretary-General of ASEAN Dr. Kao Kim Hourn today, during which he expressed key ASEAN-BAC initiatives ahead of tomorrow’s 31st ASEAN Economic Ministers (AEM) retreat. A significant focus was placed on the ASEAN Business Entity (ABE), which we believe will be pivotal in addressing market fragmentation, mitigating dissynergies, and driving deeper economic integration during Malaysia’s ASEAN Chairmanship. ASEAN-BAC is delighted that the Secretary-General welcomed these proposals.
