The many forms of disruptions that have taken place all around
us have not spared the realm of international trade. Globally,

Information and Minister-in-charge of Trade Relations, Mr S.
Iswaran, at the Dentons Rodyk Dialogue 2018, which took place in

Dialogue also featured The Right Honourable Stephen Harper, 22nd
Prime Minister of Canada and Chairman and CEO of Harper &
Associates; Professor Tania Voon of the Melbourne Law School,
University Of Melbourne; and Founder and Executive Chairman of
Banyan Tree Holdings, and Chairman of the Board
