The Africa Asia Business Forum aims to stimulate trade and investment between countries in both regions, bringing together business representatives to discuss possible joint ventures, bilateral agreements, enterprise exchanges and a variety of business instruments.

To bear fruit, efforts should be addressed not only at the trade transaction itself, but to all trade supporting services sectors (e.g. customs, transport, banking and insurance, trade facilitation, business information and telecommunications).

The success criteria will include better trained human resources and improved effectiveness of African institutions in addressing global World Trade Organization (WTO) and subregional rules of trade and investment demonstrated effectiveness of governments, IGOs, business and CSOs in formulating and articulating trade and foreign investment strategies that promote export led development increased success of African business operators in global and regional trade.

Hence the necessity for an integrated approach, which should combine the six sectors concerned by UNISTE and UNCTAD s ongoing work in the area of trade efficiency, namely Customs, business practices (trade facilitation), business information, financial services (banking, insurance and investment), transport, and telecommunications.
