Director Cai Yue of the APIAC - Legal Services Center for Global Taiwan-invested Enterprises Integrated with RCEP Affairs stated that in recent years, the signing of RCEP has injected new momentum into trade cooperation among ASEAN, China, Japan, South Korea and other countries, providing broad development space for Taiwan-funded enterprises.

The APIAC not only has an international team of arbitrators with multilingual capabilities and rich legal experience, but also provides on-site legal support for enterprises through its arbitration centers established in many countries and regions around the world.

Recently, an arbitration award by the APIAC was successfully enforced in China for the first time, further demonstrating its authority and professionalism in international arbitration. In the future, the service center will continue to provide more efficient and professional legal services for Taiwan-funded enterprises, helping them to develop steadily within the framework of RCEP.
