DTI eyes shipbuilding investments in maritime event

The Department of Trade and Industry’s (DTI) Center for International Trade Expositions and Missions (Citem) seeks to expand the Philippines’ shipbuilding sector through its participation in the 15th Asia Pacific Maritime (APM) exhibition in Singapore from March 14 to 16.

“With the onset of globalization, opportunities are [becoming] immense in shipbuilding and repair. This drives us to [chart] a new direction in trade promotion [and lead] the first-ever Philippine exhibit in [the] APM to highlight the country’s promising prospects in international maritime trade,” DTI-CITEM Executive Director Clayton Tugonon said.
