Trade law education in Indonesia sees progress with the launching of a new program titled ‘Masters of Law in Trade, Investment, and Competition Law & Policy’ by the University of Pelita Harapan (UPH) with the generous support of the Government of Switzerland through the Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO). The program has been jointly developed by UPH with the World Trade Institute at the University of Bern, and is the first of its kind in Indonesia and the second in ASEAN.
