Ms Eileen Sharpe:

We recognise that the embassies in countries such as Indonesia and Thailand will be of great support to us. We work closely with our ambassadors and the senior officials in the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade and they regularly give us leads on investment potential. The area will be covered from our ASEAN base in Singapore. At a practical level, what happens is the ambassador or one of his or her officials will contact the IDA with a lead and our representative will follow that lead wherever it is. Where we put the actual offices and a physical presence will be determined and prioritised according to where we see the best opportunity in the short to medium term.
