SIEM REAP, Cambodia (Xinhua) - The six old members of the Association of
Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) on Tuesday pledged to support four new members
in order to narrow the development gap, said Nam Viyaketh, Laos Minister of
Industry and Commerce.
"The ASEAN six gave us-the
new ASEAN member states: Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar and Vietnam-the privilege for
assistance in order to accelerate our economies and to narrow the gap between
the six old ASEAN members and the four new ASEAN members," he told
reporters on the sidelines of the 44th ASEAN Economic Ministers Meeting.
The six old ASEAN members include
Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore and Thailand.
Addressing the opening session of
the 44th ASEAN Economic Ministers Meeting on Monday, Cambodian Prime Minister

equitable distribution of the fruits of growth at both national and regional
levels.
