Louisville Organization to Host Nine ASEAN Ambassadors

Will Visit Louisville to Explore Potential Trade Opportunities with Kentucky

Lexington, Ky. (June 1, 2016) – Nine ambassadors from the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) will visit Louisville, Ky. to network with local business and conduct a panel discussion offering their perspective on the potential opportunities recent trade agreements could bring to the region.

The event, hosted by The Louisville International Organizations Network (LION), brings ambassadors from the nations of Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam to the Muhammad Ali Center where they will present their thoughts on the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) and participate in an open forum with attendees regarding a number of global and regional issues.

ASEAN today encompasses Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam. At more than 600 million people, a larger population than North America or the European Union, ASEAN countries are a major global hub of manufacturing and trade, as well as one of the fastest-growing consumer markets in the world.

The event will be held on Thursday, June 2, 2016 from 5:30 p.m. to 7:45 p.m. in the LeRoy Neiman Gallery room at the Muhammad Ali Center located at 144 North Sixth Street, Louisville, Ky.
