Asem Forum Chance To Foster Cooperation

BANGKOK, Nov 6 (The Nation) – The Asia-Europe Meeting (Asem) this week in Laos will mark a good opportunity for leaders to discuss political and economic cooperation and a future direction so that the two regions can work constructively together.

The meeting this year is held against the backdrop of many incidents that will shape the future of inter-regional cooperation, including the ongoing crisis in the euro zone, the inconclusive trade talks held under the auspices of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) and the re-emergence of territorial disputes in Asia.
