Beijing, January 9, 2026 - Ms. YANG Zhaoying, Director of General Affairs Department of the International Commercial Dispute Prevention and Resolution Organization (ICDPASO), was invited to attend the " Digital-Intelligent Era: Corporate Globalization Strategy and Operational Compliance" event and delivered a speech at the " International Trade and Investment Development, Export Control, and Arbitration Compliance Forum ".
From the perspective of international organizations, Ms. YANG Zhaoying explored how to provide a one-stop dispute prevention and resolution service mechanism that emphasizes prevention-first, prioritizes mediation, and is backed by arbitration for enterprises going global. She stated that there are both opportunities and challenges, and building a comprehensive dispute prevention and resolution mechanism that is compatible with the development of foreign investment and trade will become the new option. ICDPASO, as the world’s first international organization integrating both dispute prevention and resolution, adheres to a prevention-first approach. By identifying and addressing risks at an earlier stage, it keeps disputes within a “controlled zone.” At the same time, it prioritizes mediation to resolve conflicts and utilizes arbitration to ensure procedural closure. By effectively connecting dispute prevention with resolution, ICDPASO helps transform dispute management capabilities into a competitive advantage for enterprises going global. Meanwhile, she urged enterprises to embrace the mindset of "making prevention a habit, prioritizing mediation, and leveraging arbitration as a safeguard." By effectively utilizing ICDPASO's one-stop, full-process dispute prevention and resolution service mechanism, risks can be addressed at an earlier stage, dispute management costs can be reduced, and certainty in cross-border operations can be enhanced.
This event invited over a hundred representatives from corporate legal, compliance, strategic planning, and policy research departments, as well as representatives from relevant government authorities. In-depth discussions were held on topics including international trade and cross-border investment, export control and economic sanctions, AI governance, and data compliance.
