WITH Africa now billed as one of the most promising "new frontiers" of the global economy, South-east Asian companies are positioning themselves to play a bigger role in the continent. One of the institutions that is helping pave their way is the Africa-South East Asia Chamber of Commerce (Aseacc).
Operational since 2013, this newest business chamber in Singapore has 14 members and counting.
"We have the big guys," says the Chamber's co-founder and chairman of its advisory board Paulo Gomes, a Harvard-educated native of Guinea Bissau and former executive director for 24 African countries at the World Bank.
