The UK-ASEAN Business Council welcomes the launch of negotiations for the Malaysia-UK Digital Trade Agreement. Once concluded, the agreement will represent a significant milestone in the UK-Malaysia bilateral relationship and support UK businesses seeking to engage with the continued growth of Malaysia and ASEAN’s digital economy.

Lord Vaizey, Ian Gibbons, and Ben Raby attended a lunch discussion hosted by Cheong Boon Png, Chair of the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB), in London this week. We were delighted that UKABC partners, including Arup, AstraZeneca, KPMG, Mott MacDonald, Prudential plc and Standard Chartered were able to join us for the opportunity to engage in discussions and explore broader regional ASEAN collaboration amidst current economic trends and challenges. BAE Systems, Element Materials Technology, and Plexal were also present.
