From the Editor's Desk: The Corridor Awakens!

Welcome to the second edition of the Asia Business Corridor (ABC) Bulletin!

I'm pleased to state for the record that we have successfully (and officially) launched the Asia Business Corridor on 1 December 2010 @ the Grand Hyatt, Singapore. 

A big special word of thanks to the busy bees of Vectorians who were tireless and ever-enthusiastic about overcoming the first hurdle of launching this in the presence of 80+ distinguished guestlist, that included,

1) The Guest of Honor, Mr. Zainul Abidin Rasheed, Senior Minister of State for Foreign Affairs

2) Dato Paduka Dr. Haji Amin Liew Abdullah, Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Industry and Primary Resources, Brunei

3) A large delegate of senior ranking officials from the Tieling Provincial Government, China.

4) and several others from Western and Asian nations!

When we first mooted the idea of a global platform that could connect businesses of all sizes, we envisioned one that would be unique, holistic in purpose and highly-integrated.  It must also be very interactive, vibrant and organic. A life on its own. Alive and abuzz with activities!

Amidst all these considerations, the idea of Asia Business Corridor or ABC in short, was conceived– about 18 months ago. We carried it forward, nurtured and cultivated the idea, refined and tested, till today.  

Thank you for all the support and as we not only witness the launch of ABC today, but also the coming to the year-end, here’s wishing all of you here a very meaningful and successful 2011.
