Today 04:53Key points summarised by AI

The International Institute for Trade and Development (ITD) has convened academics from eight ASEAN nations to draft strategic policy papers addressing the 'Twin Green-and-Digital Transition' and integrating Thailand into regional supply chains.
This initiative emphasizes that regional collaboration is crucial for building resilient supply chains and navigating global challenges, creating a platform for ASEAN nations to propose joint approaches with Thailand.
Several ASEAN members presented specific proposals for collaboration, including linking Indonesia's critical minerals to Thailand's EV sector, Laos enhancing its land-linked trade hub role, Brunei focusing on clean energy and digital trade, and the Philippines integrating its semiconductor supply chain.
The green and digital transitions are identified as vital for trade competitiveness, with ITD planning to translate these research findings into concrete economic partnerships to turn global megatrends into shared regional opportunities.
