CII brought out a report on BIMSTEC economic cooperation https://lnkd.in/g4ddsMGS . It suggests: - BIMSTEC must add more areas of cooperation to its ambit such as skill development, e-commerce cooperation, digital public infrastructure and digital access, and women-led development. - Industry of all countries should be more deeply engaged and involved in achieving the goals of BIMSTEC. - Finalising a regional FTA in phases would lead to quicker implementation and promote investment, job creation, technology partnerships, and services. - Promoting a more favourable business climate between members would help in regional supply chains include easing FDI restrictions across most sectors, improving ease of doing business, and integration of all relevant customs agencies.  #BIMSTEC #regionalvaluechains #trade #investment

The International Manufacturing Congress is coming to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, from 9 - 11 September 2024. This three-day event will bring together industry leaders to collaborate, revolutionize manufacturing practices and identify promising growth opportunities. How Saudi Arabia is building a global manufacturing hub: ✅ Saudi’s National Industry Strategy aims to triple the manufacturing sector’s contribution to GDP to over US$238 billion by 2030. ✅ The number of factories in the Kingdom is expected to triple by 2035 and additional investment in the sector could reach U$345.9 billion. ✅ Deputy Minister of Industry and Mineral Resources for Industrial Affairs, Khalil bin Salamah, recently highlighted the importance of partnerships with private entities in achieving the Kingdom’s industrial development goals. This growth, fueled by Saudi Arabia's ambitious Vision 2030, was witnessed firsthand this month at the Saudi Food Manufacturing event organized by dmg events and partner KAOUN International. Eng. Majed Al-Argoubi, CEO of the Saudi Authority for Industrial Cities and Technology Zones (MODON), stated, “The industrial sector is going to increase both the GDP and abilities of youth in the Kingdom. We are making impressive growth through Saudi Vision 2030…”.

Be intentional and purposeful. Nothing fuels me more than the pursuit of upskilling to propel growth, complementing my experience and competencies. Here’s highlight of my week: 🚀 Thrilled to have assisted Salmah Mydin in her Keynote Address at the MAICSA Regulatory Forum 2024 on 24 July 2024. Pivoting from prosecutor to policymaker has opened doors for me to upskill, in this context, speechwriting. Legal drafting has helped, but who knew speeches needed more flair and less "legalese"? There's certainly some similarities. Speechwriting involves diving into diverse topics, endless drafting and vetting, and really stepping into the speaker's shoes. The real challenge? Making it punchy and engaging, yet not dull or superfluous. It does feel like I have drafted written submissions. Exhausting but satisfying! Kudos to those who've mastered this craft!
