Moving towards finalizing the BIMSTEC Trade Facilitation Strategic Framework 2030


The BIMSTEC Secretariat and the Asian Development Bank (ADB) jointly organized a virtual workshop on BIMSTEC Trade Facilitation Strategic Framework 2030 on 14 September 2021. Delegations from all BIMSTEC Member States, officials of the BIMSTEC Secretariat and ADB and its Consultant participated in the Workshop. The Workshop’s objectives were to present the findings of the analytical study ‘BIMSTEC Trade Facilitation Strategic Framework 2030’ and gather feedback from the stakeholders of Member States towards finalizing the Study Report.

The Workshop provided an opportunity to focus on the importance of an integrated and coordinated strategy to enable trade facilitation and learn about best practices in the implementation of trade facilitation in the region. The Workshop helped in gathering valuable feedback from the delegates of BIMSTEC Member States, which ADB will incorporate in updating and finalizing the BIMSTEC Trade Facilitation Strategic Framework 2030.
