KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): The Association of South-East Asian Nations (Asean) economic ministers has proposed a common digital vaccine certificate to speed up the reopening of hardest-hit sectors such as tourism, says Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali.

However, the International Trade and Industry Minister said that there was no specific timeline set when the common digital vaccine certificate would be introduced, as the matter would be brought up to the health ministers level meeting.

The retreat also looked into the expansion of the list of essential goods under the memorandum of understanding on the Implementation of Non-Tariff Measures on Essential Goods under the Hanoi Plan of Action on Strengthening Asean Economic Cooperation and Supply Chain Connectivity in response to the Covid-19 Pandemic that was signed in November 2020.

Being a major disruptor, Mohamad Azmin said the pandemic has also brought to light existing gaps in the GVCs resulting from unexpected extreme fluctuations in demand and supply of essential products.
