Asean leaders vow to uphold the multilateral trade and international cooperation
Nusa Dua, Bali
ASEAN remains committed to upholding the open and rules-based multilateral trading system that has long underpinned the region's economic growth, and will work together to ensure that no one is left behind in the march for progress, its leaders vowed yesterday.
The 10-member grouping has this past year, amid trade disputes and rising protectionism, been vocal in its support of free and open trade.
