Trade Promotion through Standardisation

AP took part in a meeting on trade promotion through standardisation held by SAWTEE and the Swedish Institute of Standards (SIS) on 17th – 18th July, 2012 in Jakarta, Indonesia. This is a planning event so that SIS/SAWTEE could launch a large programme (funded by SIDA) on the same topic in the South and Southeast Asia region (the project countries including Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia) in the future. If the programme is successfully launched, CUTS Hanoi would be invited to partake as a relevant organisation in Vietnam, in addition to the national standard body (NSB).
