PAA is the regional e-commerce alliance in Asia that provides secure and reliable IT infrastructure to promote efficient global trade and logistics, and has a combined membership in excess of 150,000 organisations representing active trading enterprises in the Asian market.

Dagang Net operates the national electronic trade facilitation service Sistem Maklumat Kastam-Dagang Net.

“Leveraging on our position in PAA, we will offer our assistance to grow Asean’s electronic trade by sharing the successful implementation of our single window initiative with PAA members.”

“We believe these initiatives will fully complement and support the government’s efforts in electronic processing of trade documents at both the national and regional levels to maintain and strengthen Asean’s position in international trade,” he said.
