BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN: Asean must continue to stand firm against geopolitical tensions and trade fragmentation, which directly affect Asean's trade, investment, and the livelihoods of its peoples. Intra-Asean trade must be enhanced to ensure that Asean member states can trade more extensively with one another, deepening economic cooperation and further bring the region closer together in shared prosperity.
Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah said this in his speech during the plenary session of the 47th Asean Summit at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre in Malaysia on Sunday (Oct 26)
