Recommendation 44
44
Paragraph: 137
Initiate Free Trade Agreement negotiations with ASEAN and strengthen bilateral relationships with member countries.
Recommendation
We recommend that as well as taking full advantage of the UK’s recently acquired status as a Dialogue Partner of ASEAN, the UK should begin negotiations for an FTA with ASEAN, and concentrate equally on building bilateral relationships with ASEAN members based upon cooperation on those countries’ development objectives and UK expertise and experience in such areas as maritime security, finance, environmentally- friendly agriculture and technology.
