CACCI Advisory Board Members hold virtual meeting

Members of the CACCI Advisory Board, composed of past and current Presidents of the Confederation of Asia-Pacific Chambers of Commerce and Industry (CACCI), held a virtual meeting on May 20, 2020 to discuss how CACCI should adopt to the changing world brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic and maintain its relevance to its members.

Presided by Advisory Board Chairman Mr. Kenneth Court from Australia, the virtual meeting was attended by Mr. Harvey Chang from Taiwan, Amb. Benedicto Yujuico from the Philippines, Mr. Jemal Inaishvili from Georgia, and the incumbent CACCI President Mr. Samir Modi from India. Also in attendance were CACCI Secretariat officers led by Director General Mr. Ernest Lin as well as Ms. Aneesha Duggal, Special Assistant to Mr. Modi.

The Advisory Board members exchanged views and insights on how the Confederation can continue to serve and be of value to its members under the current circumstances and uncertainties caused by the pandemic.

 

 

Among other, they shared ideas on how to continue bringing members together during this time when congregating in person is not possible, how to assist and learn from each other as they face identical challenges across the region, how to maintain communications with and among members to keep them informed and learn from each other’s experiences; and how to move forward into the future under the so-called new normal created not only by the pandemic but also by the changing geopolitical and global economic landscapes.

The Advisory Board agreed to hold more virtual meetings on a regular basis to discuss issues that may arise during these difficult times and the critical things members can do together to see this through.
