China calls for deeper market integration with south-east Asian nations
CHINESE Prime Minister Li Qiang called for deeper market integration with south-east Asia on Thursday during annual summit talks in the Laos capital of Vientiane.
Meeting with the 10-member Association of Southeast Asian Nations, Mr Li said: “The global economy is still seeing a sluggish recovery, protectionism is rising and geopolitical turbulence has brought instability and uncertainty to our development.
“Strengthening market co-ordination and synchronisation is an important direction for our further co-operation.”
