In recognition of the opportunities and challenges brought about by e-commerce, Singapore, Australia and Japan launched the Joint Statement Initiative (JSI) on Electronic Commerce at the 11th WTO Ministerial Conference in December 2017. The JSI outlines members’ intention to develop rules on trade-related aspects of e-commerce.


Against this backdrop, the Singapore Cooperation Programme (SCP) and the Ministry of Trade & Industry (opens in new tab) of Singapore partnered the WTO Secretariat to conduct a workshop in Singapore from 6 – 8 Nov 19 to update participants on recent developments in e-commerce at the national, regional and global levels. The workshop gave participants, who came from the Asia-Pacific region as well as Jamaica, Malawi, Senegal and Cote d’Ivoire, the opportunity to share e-commerce experience and best practices, and consider how the potential of e-commerce can be tapped on fully to boost economic growth for the region.
