At the conference, representatives of member nations stated their commitment to working towards establishing tax, trade and business policies that would allow the region to rebuild its economy. Shaun Edward Cheah, executive director of the Malaysian International Chamber of Commerce and Industry, agreed that a travel agreement was needed as the region “has an advantage with our short haul flights”.
