Vietnamese PM Nguyen Xuan Phuc delivers a speech at the opening ceremony of the 36th ASEAN Summit in Hanoi.
A deal, which aimed to loop in half the world’s population and third of its GDP, has been hampered by India’s refusal to join over access to its market for cheap goods from China, the regional superpower it is now locked in a deadly border row with. The country’s Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc gave a sobering opening address on Friday that emphasised the “serious consequences” of the pandemic for economic development among Asean’s members.
China is always advancing its pieces on the “South China Sea chessboard”, a senior Southeast Asian diplomat told AFP.Beijing took advantage of the Asian financial crisis in the late 90s and the SARS outbreak to push its claims, he added.Without directly mentioning China, Phuc admitted that “strategic problems between big countries had become clear and had deepened”.
