    UK Prime Minister David Cameron aims to sign some £750 million (S$1.6 billion) trade and investment deals with South-east Asian nations this week. Mr Cameron has also asked the European Union (EU) to jump start a trade agreement with Asean worth £3 billion to the UK economy.

    Accompanied by 31 business people from all UK regions, he began his whistle stop four-day trade and investment tour in Indonesia on Monday and will then go to Singapore, Malaysia and Vietnam.
