JAKARTA: DHL, the world's leading express and logistics

JAKARTA: DHL, the world's leading express and logistics
company, said Wednesday that it was collaborating with the ASEAN
Business Advisory Council (ASEAN-BAC) in an initiative to help
ASEAN shape economic policies to further regional trade.

Both will seek the inputs of the private sector and use the
inputs to help ASEAN government leaders shape the policies.

As part of the initiative, a high-level delegation of senior
executives from DHL's Asia-Pacific management board will be
sharing their collective insights and experiences on regional
trade issues at the inaugural ASEAN Business & Investment Summit
in Bali next month, the company said in a statement.

During the summit, John Mullen, the company's Asia-Pacific
COO, is expected to speak about logistics in ASEAN and how these
relate to the development of intra-regional and extra-regional
trade, the statement said. -- JP
