The UK-ASEAN Business Council (UKABC) is pleased to announce the successful delivery of the 5th UK-ASEAN Business Forum 2026, held at HSBC’s global headquarters in Canary Wharf, London.

Mr. Martin Kent and Ambassador Sarah Tiffin discuss how the UK and ASEAN are forging greater economic and people-to-people ties. ASEAN is an engine room of global growth. It is home to around 680 million people and fast-growing, innovative economies. The region is collectively equivalent to the fifth-largest economy in the world, according to the International Monetary Fund’s World Economic Outlook for October.
