They engaged in in-depth discussions on topics such as deepening cross-border dispute resolution cooperation and promoting talent training in dispute resolution, thereby injecting new momentum into the synergistic development of arbitration institutions in both regions.

Deputy Director Mr. Dennis Cai shared AALCO-HKRAC’s various initiatives in promoting Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), including the latest developments in Sports Arbitration and Mediation, adjudication of disputes related to payment security in the construction industry, and the multiple achievements of the Arbitration Centre at the 63rd Annual Session of AALCO. Mr. Alex Fan also proposed cooperation plans to jointly promote dispute resolution talent training with AALCO-HKRAC. Mr. Dennis Cai responded that the Centre strongly supports these plans and looks forward to future collaboration between the two institutions.
