Singapore and nine other countries form Prosecutors / Attorneys General Meeting

This will enhance prosecution cooperation and related matters in ASEAN.

Attorney-General Lucien Wong and his counterparts in nine other states in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) have signed the declaration on the establishment of the Prosecutors / Attorneys General Meeting (APAGM) in Bali, Indonesia.

According to the Attorney-General’s Chambers of Singapore, the APAGM aims to enhance cooperation on prosecution and other related matters within ASEAN.

It will facilitate coordination on prosecution cases, promote capacity building and information sharing, and enable more professional exchanges amongst the prosecution agencies of member states.

“It is essential for prosecution authorities of ASEAN member states to work together and enhance our mutual capabilities to tackle these challenges. Singapore is committed to work with our ASEAN partners to tackle transnational crimes and uphold the rule of law,” Wong said.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
