I hope that such efforts could also be extended to the other ASEAN Member States.”

Executive Director of ASEAN Foundation, Dr. Ms. Yang Mee Eng said: “The growth of ASEAN Digital Economy is entirely dependent on the capability of the region’s young people to participate in it.

DHL Express has launched a new promotion under its DHL Rewards Program

DHL Express, the world’s leading international express service provider, has launched a new promotion under its DHL Rewards Program to give loyal customers in the Philippines a chance to redeem shipping credits and exclusive discounts on their next DHL Express shipment.
