By way of introduction, the UK-ASEAN Business Council (UKABC) was created out of UKTI’s 2011 Strategy ‘Britain Open for Business’ in November 2011. The underlying purpose of the UKABC is to facilitate a step change in the level of trade between the UK and Southeast Asia, and through this, contributing towards UKTI’s ambition to support 50,000 SMEs and increase UK exports to £1 trillion by 2020.
