Hear from policymakers across the region on the latest thinking on illicit trade prevention

Illicit trade takes place the world over, but South-East Asia has its own unique set of challenges. Home to some of Asia's richest and poorest countries, the region is marked by stark disparities in customs oversight, law-enforcement capacity and IP protection.
