WASME was honoured to participate in the EU–UNESCO NGO Liaison Committee Exchange hosted by the EU Delegation to the OECD and UNESCO, under the leadership of Ambassador Christina Kokkinakis.

The interaction provided a valuable platform to present WASME’s Vision and Mission and to engage in meaningful discussions on strengthening cooperation between the European Union, UNESCO-linked organisations, and global MSME stakeholders.

The exchange reflected the spirit of multilateral dialogue, partnership, and collective commitment towards empowering Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises worldwide through innovation, entrepreneurship, sustainability, and international collaboration.

WASME extends its sincere gratitude to Ms. Svetlomira Stoyanova and the entire EU Delegation team for facilitating this important engagement and fostering open dialogue among EU Member States and NGO representatives.

As a global organisation committed to the advancement of MSMEs since 1980, WASME remains dedicated to building strategic international partnerships that amplify the voice and impact of small enterprises across the world.

🌏 Two Nations. One Digital Future. Infinite MSME Possibilities.

On 18 May 2026, I had the honour of taking the stage at the Viet Nam – India Digital Economy & Cross-Border E-Commerce Forum at Marwah Studios, Noida — alongside distinguished leaders from the Embassy of Viet Nam in India, IDEA (Vietnam E-Commerce & Digital Economy Agency), and the Global Trade & Technology Council India (GTTCI).

My presentation: "Strengthening MSME Cooperation through Digital Trade, Innovation and Cross-Border E-Commerce between India and Viet Nam"

💬 My opening line to the room:
"Between India's 63 million MSMEs and Vietnam's 5 million — lies a $500 billion digital opportunity waiting to be unlocked."

Here's what I proposed:

🔷 An India–Viet Nam MSME Digital Corridor — frictionless, fast, and fully digital
🔷 UPI–NAPAS payment interoperability — real-time, low-cost bilateral transactions
🔷 A bi-national AI Innovation Sandbox — affordable tech, built by MSMEs, for MSMEs
🔷 A Joint MSME Trade Accelerator — 100 businesses per country, accelerated together
🔷 Cross-border marketplace integration — Flipkart, Shopee, Amazon & TikTok Shop

Bilateral trade between India and Viet Nam crossed $15B+ in 2024.
We have a $25B target by 2028.
Digital MSMEs are the engine that gets us there.

Thank you to Mr. Bui Trung Thuong and the entire team at the Vietnamese Embassy, IDEA, Marwah Studios & GTTCI for an exceptional platform.

At WASME, we stand ready to turn these conversations into signed frameworks, funded programmes, and measurable impact.

The bridge is ready. Let's cross it together. 🤝

Culture, Creativity & Global Connections — A Proud Moment for WASME

WASME had the privilege of experiencing the Ecuadorian Cultural Center in India — a remarkable initiative by the Embassy of Ecuador that beautifully showcases the nation’s rich artistic heritage, biodiversity, and the historic legacy of cacao.

From indigenous craftsmanship to iconic natural and cultural landmarks, the centre reflects the true spirit of Ecuador while fostering deeper cultural understanding between nations.

At WASME, we believe that culture is a powerful driver of sustainable enterprise. Initiatives like this not only celebrate heritage but also create meaningful opportunities for artisans, creative entrepreneurs, and cross-border collaboration.

As a member of the UNESCO NGO Liaison Committee, WASME appreciates and supports such efforts that strengthen cultural diplomacy and global partnerships.

Our sincere appreciation to the Embassy of Ecuador in India and all those involved in bringing this vision to life.

🌍 A Proud Moment for WASME & the Global SME Community

WASME was honoured to participate in the landmark online dialogue with UNESCO Director-General Khaled El-Enany, held under the UNESCO80 Initiative: “Shaping UNESCO for the People.” The dialogue brought together leaders from over 435 NGOs across 70+ countries, reflecting the collective voice of global civil society.

The Director-General outlined a clear, results-driven vision for UNESCO’s future — emphasising purposeful reform, measurable outcomes, and the critical role of civil society as an active partner in shaping global priorities.

WASME’s participation highlights its continued engagement within the NGO–UNESCO Liaison Committee and its ongoing efforts to strengthen the SME ecosystem through business development, financial inclusion, and enhanced access to technology and markets worldwide.

This engagement reinforces WASME’s commitment to ensuring that the interests of small and medium enterprises are represented at the highest levels of multilateral dialogue.

MSMEs must now shift from survival mode to strategic scale.

Growth continues, but momentum has softened. Rising freight costs, longer transit times, tighter margins, and cautious hiring are clear signals for businesses to act smartly.

✅ Protect liquidity
✅ Diversify markets & buyers
✅ Use formal finance options
✅ Build digital & export access
✅ Invest in competitiveness

At WASME, we believe: those who see slowdown as a warning will survive — those who see it as a strategy signal will lead.
