TOOLS FOR ECONOMIC COOPERATION: LOOKING FORWARD TO A BRIGHTER 2021
The High-Level Dialogue on ASEAN Italy Economic Relations is the reference event in the ASEAN Region for strengthening economic and strategic ties between ASEAN countries and Italy.
The first three editions – Jakarta (2017), Singapore (2018) and Hanoi (2019) – gathered more than 1,000 Chairmen and CEOs of companies, Ministers and Institutional leaders from ASEAN Countries and Italy. The latest edition in Hanoi saw the attendance of both Prime Ministers of Italy and Vietnam along with the ASEAN Deputy Secretary-General and senior Ministers from the other ASEAN countries.
In the light of the COVID-19 pandemic, the High Level Dialogue 2020 turns into a cycle of 4 high-level digital Round Tables programmed from July 2020 to January 2021.
