The ASEAN Forum 2019 takes a snapshot of our relationship with ASEAN now, as well as looking forward at the possibilities of future potential and development in this dynamic region. The morning keynotes set an overview of the ASEAN - NZ political and economic relationship, and how that impacts on the business we do. The afternoon sessions delve deeper into the sub themes of Digital Connectivity and Diversity. The Digital session will look at NZ businesses operating across and in ASEAN in an ever-changing digital environment. The Diversity theme examines how NZ businesses can make more of the opportunities of diversity to impact and improve on our ASEAN trade. Throughout the Forum we will ask; how we can work together on a practical level to create strong awareness of NZ in ASEAN and ASEAN in NZ.
