Partner Organisations:

The UK-ASEAN Business Council (UKABC) was created to facilitate trade between the UK and Southeast Asia. The UKABC bangs the drum about the tremendous commercial opportunities in ASEAN to encourage UK companies to consider, explore and then invest in Southeast Asia’s ten incredibly diverse, high growth markets. Through our website and range of events, we signpost market intelligence, highlight visits to the markets and identify local delivery partners to help UK businesses to start doing business in ASEAN. Visit www.ukabc.org.uk.

UKTI opened its first ever office in Burma in July 2012 with the aim of supporting responsible, sustainable and transparent British business with Burma. The UKTI team can help British companies in all manner of ways; from offering practical advice on doing business to facilitating introductions to potential business partners and Government officials. The small but powerful team are well integrated into the local business community across a number of sectors and work closely with the newly launched British Chamber of Commerce. Any British business interested in the opportunities in Burma should start by looking at the UKTI Burma webpage https://www.gov.uk/government/world/organisations/ukti-burma and contacting ukti.rangoon@fco.gov.uk
