Hua Hin (Thailand), Oct 24 (Inditop.com) Battered by the global economic crisis, the US has decided to convene a summit meeting with the influential Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) next month.
This “would mark a historic point in ASEAN-US Dialogue Relations”, the ASEAN said at the end of its 15th summit here Saturday.
“The (November) Summit is a reflection of the strong commitment of the US administration to deepen and expand its engagements with ASEAN,” an ASEAN statement said.
The ASEAN, which brings together some of the best performing economies in Asia, already has China and India among others as its dialogue partners.
