Trade competitiveness is critical for continued export expansion and diversification. Preferential market access to EU very important. Trade integration within Asia (AEC and RCEP) will play a growing role; 3. Bridging skill shortages and skill gaps is critical to continued export development, growth of better jobs with better income, and a positive human development impact; 4.
