        public services, and improve well-being. In order to benefit from the opportunities linked to the
        digitalization, it is in need to easily access to digital networks and services. The issue of ASEAN
        digital connectivity including Seamless Regional Digital Trade Connectivity is the priority to cross-
        border activities through electronic trade data exchange process and supply chain ecosystem
