Asean Summit invite extended to all dialogue partners, not just Trump, says Tok Mat


PETALING JAYA: The invitation extended to United States president Donald Trump to attend the upcoming Asean Summit in Kuala Lumpur is part of the bloc’s diplomatic tradition, not a bilateral request from Malaysia, says Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan.

The Foreign Minister explained that as Asean chair this year, Malaysia is responsible for inviting all dialogue partners to the summit, which will be held on Oct 27 and 28.
