ASEAN Convenes its Services Forum 2015

The ASEAN Services Forum, an event for substantive discussion on the trends and challenges in trade in services integration among the policy makers and stakeholders in the region, was held on 18-19 June 2015 at the ASEAN Secretariat in Jakarta.

The Forum discussion focused on the challenges in realising the ambitious target of free flow of trade in services set by the ASEAN Leaders under the AEC Blueprint where there shall be substantially no restrictions to ASEAN services suppliers in providing services and in establishing companies across national borders within the region, subject to domestic regulations.

ASEAN now aims to enhance the existing ASEAN Framework Agreement on Services (AFAS) under the post‐2015 agenda.
