Officials of government and
public sector organisations from Brunei Darussalam will join
their counterparts from Commonwealth developing countries for a
workshop in Singapore early next month to learn more about how
to promote foreign direct investment (FDI).
The workshop, entitled
"Workshop to Promote Foreign Direct Investment" will
be participated by delegates from Bangladesh, Brunei Darussalam,
Cameroon, Fiji Islands, The Gambia, Ghana, Jamaica, Kenya,
Mauritius, Sri Lanka, Tonga, Uganda and the United Republic of
Tanzania.
It is set to take place on
March 3 - 7 at Singapore's Nanyang Technological University
Centre for Continuing Education.
The workshop will cover FDI
topics including an introduction to global trends and
implications; policy frameworks; international business
strategies; Singapore's strategy-sharing experiences; the
organisation and functions of a Board of Investment; strategies
for promoting inward and outward FDI; and the role of the
Internet in FDI promotion.
The five-day workshop will
engage participants in the subject of FDI using various
instructional methods including role-play.
"We will present
participants with a hypothetical case of FDI in a Commonwealth
developing country and the roles of relevant actors in the
decision-making process. Participants will be grouped and
provided with appropriate roles. Best Commonwealth practices
will be shared," said M Jasimuddin, a Chief Programme
Officer at the Commonwealth Secretariat in a statement.
