Why China? Why ASEAN? Asian markets are a major area of interest to multinational as well as export-driven companies as it is associated with significant growth, with a rapidly rising middle class intentionally seeking Western (quality) health products, nutritionals and dietary supplements. Coupled with dramatic changes in regulations, tariffs, technical barriers to trade, and more, the time has never been more critical and more opportune for engaging with this dynamic region.
The ASEAN is the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. Established in 1967 in Bangkok, Thailand, the signing of the ASEAN Declaration (Bangkok Declaration) was codified by the founding fathers of ASEAN: Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore and Thailand. Brunei Darussalam joined ASEAN on 7 January 1984, followed by Viet Nam on 28 July 1995, Lao PDR and Myanmar on 23 July 1997, and Cambodia on 30 April 1999, making up what is today the ten Member States of ASEAN.
