The Center, operating in an international and market-oriented manner, is established by the APIAC in Dadukou District, with a focus on Chongqing but serving the whole country. It aims to provide efficient, fair, economical, and convenient solutions for various disputes between Taiwan enterprises and ASEAN countries, build a platform for Taiwan province enterprises to explore RCEP member country markets, innovate models for Taiwan province enterprises to integrate into RCEP's economic, trade, and economic and financial cooperation, and explore innovative models and paths for the reunification of the motherland.
