RCEP brings direct and indirect benefits to people: Scholar

The RCEP is about bringing direct and indirect benefits to people, said Wong Chun Wai, adviser and former editor-in-chief of the Star Media Group, an English-language news media group in Malaysia, at the RCEP Media and Think Tank Forum held on May 23 in Haikou, Hainan province.

He added that the media should provide stories "in simple and interesting narrative form" to tell how the huge trade agreement creates business opportunities and brings positive changes to people's lives. He also proposed a parallel or annual meeting of RCEP media organizations for exchanging ideas.
