New Delhi: Prime Minister Manmohan Singh Tuesday returned home from Cambodia after
attending the ASEAN and East Asia Summits which provided India with an
opportunity to enhance its economic cooperation with the region amid lingering
financial crisis in the West.
Singh was in Cambodia for three
days during which he had met with Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao on the sidelines
of the ASEAN and EAS Summits
New Delhi has maintained that
India's partnership with the 10-nation ASEAN is an important component of the
'Look East Policy'.
"This year marks the 20th
anniversary of our dialogue partnership and 10th anniversary of Summit-level
engagement with ASEAN," the Prime Minister had said, adding India is
celebrating this milestone by hosting a special commemorative summit in New
Delhi next month.
During the last India-ASEAN
Summit held in Bali in Indonesia, Singh had cited the global economic downturn
to push for conclusion of a "commercially-meaningful" Services and
Investment pact by March this year to create a positive atmosphere for
implementation of the Comprehensive Economic Cooperation Agreement.
He had also highlighted the need
for greater connectivity and cooperation on security issues, including maritime
security, counter-terrorism, training, exercises and disaster management.
