PETALING JAYA: Malaysia will ensure no hasty decisions are made at the 37th Asean Summit on matters pertaining to security and sovereignty of Asean countries that can end up with unnecessary loss of lives, says Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein.

He said the South China Sea issue would be discussed at the summit to be hosted by Vietnam, but unlikely to see an immediate solution.
