SINGAPORE: The signing of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) has injected new momentum into the economic and trade cooperation between China and the Asean countries, a Singapore scholar said in a recent interview with Xinhua.
The economic and trade cooperation between China and the 10-member Asean countries remains strong despite the impact of Covid-19, said Yu Hong, a senior research fellow of the East Asian Institute of the National University of Singapore, and such kind of cooperation will be bolstered by the inking of RCEP, the world’s largest free trade agreement so far.
