Madam Wang greeted the guests at the office, and briefly introduced the recent developments of the BAC. During the introduction, she mentioned that the BAC always believes in the importance of the credibility. Past practice in the BAC granted us insights of what makes credibility. That is to maintain the high quality of our arbitration service, to have a group of arbitrators who really care about the users in his or her arbitration. Although the BAC has gradually acquired the acknowledgement from the domestic and the international arbitration communities and therefore has had a period of rapid development, we still keep reminding ourselves to consistently create better platform offering our arbitrators opportunities to extend their capabilities because we know that “Arbitration is as good as the arbitrator”. Madam Wang indicated the willingness to collaborate with the CIArb since it is a non-profit organization which is dedicate to training and networking the excellent arbitrators from all over the world. Both the BAC and the CIArb discussed diverse proposals of the collaboration. Madam Wang showed the guests a quick visit to the BAC’s modern facilities and convenient equipments afterwards.
All the participants of the afternoon meeting expressed interest in conducting further training cooperation. Madam Wang proposed several adjustments on designing the potential training program in order to meeting domestic arbitrators’ needs. Accordingly, President Joe Behan also add ideas of creating an reciprocal cooperating training programs. Further information will be on our website, please follow on our updates.
