    SINGAPORE'S Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, in foreseeing an "extended campaign" against the Zika virus in the Asean region, has urged the 10-member regional bloc to unite against the virus so that regional trade will not be disrupted.

    Singapore will work with Asean countries to fight the spread of the virus, he told Asean leaders in his speech at the plenary session of the 28th Asean Summit on Tuesday.
