KUALA LUMPUR (Xinhua): Closer cooperation among Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) and China, fostered by the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) agreement, among others, would contribute to the world economic recovery in the post Covid-19 era, said a Malaysian expert.
"As the world is seeking an economic recovery, the cooperation and interaction between China and Asean is now even more important," said Ong Tee Keat, founding chairman of the Center for New Inclusive Asia, a think tank based in Kuala Lumpur.
