“As Knowledge Partner, we’ll provide insights to spark discussion among business leaders about some of the major issues our region is facing today. These include the post-Covid-19 economic recovery and a close look at how Apec member states are adapting to overcome new challenges in order to build trust among stakeholders and grow sustainably, he said.
