Introduction
With Asia’s staggering population of 4.7 billion, encompassing almost 60 percent of the world’s populace, and a GDP ranking first among continents, it is indisputably the Asian decade. What better time than now to engage in a conversation about Asia’s pivotal role in shaping global dispute resolution?
This summit endeavours to unite ADR practitioners from across the Asian continent to illuminate the burgeoning landscape of dispute resolution and prevention. We aim to showcase how Asia can lead the way forward in this domain.
As the saying goes, “The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.”
