ASEAN asked to initiate Bolder Moves
A high-level group has proposed bold moves to turn ASEAN into a more disciplined regional grouping or risk fading “into the sunset,” its report said yesterday.Even ASEAN’s longstanding principle of non-interference in each members’ affairs is being scrutinized.
Such a step may be necessary to ensure effective decisionmaking in transnational matters, said the package of proposals to be presented to ASEAN leaders at the summit in Cebu, Philippines, this week.
