More than 100 Memorandum of Understandings were signed during the expo, cementing the event's role as a catalyst for economic cooperation and growth.

The expo underscores the importance of initiatives like the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) and the ASEAN-China Free Trade Agreement 3.0, as highlighted by the Secretary-General of ASEAN, Dr. Kao Kim Hourn, during his opening remarks.

Infrastructure enhancements, such as the $2 billion airport expansion and new expressways, are furthering accessibility and economic development. These developments position Bay of Lights to capitalize on regional growth and investment trends.
