(9 February 2026) – The World Trustmark and Trade Alliance (WTA) extends warm Lunar New Year greetings to our global partners and stakeholders. This season of renewal is marked by a proud achievement: the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Member Economies have approved WTA’s continuation as a Guest in the APEC Digital Economy Steering Group (DESG) and its Data Privacy Subgroup (DPS).
This recognition reaffirms WTA’s longstanding commitment to fostering trust, privacy, and digital economy collaboration across the Asia-Pacific region — a journey we have upheld since 2007.
We look forward to continuing our fruitful cooperation with APEC DESG and DPS, contributing to the development of trusted frameworks that support innovation, privacy, and cross-border digital trade.
