The group had previously met virtually with Premier Winde in May 2022. The follow-up engagement, which was held in-person,provided an excellent opportunity for the APC members to learn about the development priorities and programs of the Western Cape province, with a view of further broadening and expanding the province’s engagement with the ASEAN region as a whole, and with individual ASEAN member countries in priority sectors such as trade and investment, science, energy, agriculture.
