KUALA LUMPUR: The formal dialogue between Asean and the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) scheduled on Nov 20, 2025 must go beyond symbolic engagement and deliver substantive outcomes.
“Concrete reforms, including standard convergence, supply chain resilience, and micro, small and medium enterprise (MSME) capacity building, are vital if Asean is to remain central in a rapidly fragmenting global trade order, leading economists and policy,” said Tan Sri Munir Majid.
