CACCI President Mr. Samir Modi was invited to be a speaker at the ASEAN Legal Alliance Conference and Global Diaspora Business Summit 2022 jointly organized on 24 November 2022 in Singapore by the ASEAN Legal Alliance and the GA Group headed by Mr. George Abraham, Chairman of the CACCI SME Development Council.

Mr. Modi shared his views and insights on issues surrounding the event theme “Emerging from the Pandemic to a New Normal”, particularly on the role that chambers of commerce and regional business organizations such as CACCI can play in helping their respective members address the challenges before them, and in strengthening their effort to emerge from the pandemic environment to a so-called New Normal.

He stressed the importance of business networking to encourage greater interaction among individual companies and business communities in the Asian region which he said was crucial to enable them to go forward. He therefore urged them to help each other to address challenges on the basis of consultation and coordination and pursue common development. We need to share our insights, build consensus and contribute to promoting development and prosperity in Asia and the world, he pointed out.

“We all have our own comparative strengths and our economies are highly complementary. Greater openness and deeper cooperation within the region will be crucial for the sustained fast growth of Asian economies. Deeper regional integration under the current circumstances can help us better leverage our comparative strengths,” Mr. Modi concluded.
