AT the recently concluded Asean Summits in Lao PDR, the deliberations and decisions – particularly of the East Asia Summit (EAS) attended by 18 countries namely the Asean member States, China, Japan, Republic of Korea, India, Australia, New Zealand, United States, and the Russian Federation – for future cooperation and action are of crucial importance.

The EAS, given its broad-ranging membership, presents the best opportunity to address and tackle strategic, political, economic and social issues of common concern and interest confronting both the region and the international community.
