Meetings between ASEAN and its partners would be rescheduled in Phuket, Thailand, a Thai senior official has said.
“The government is attempting to restore confidence by hosting the summit as soon as possible,” Deputy Commerce Minister Alongkorn Pollabutr was quoted by The Nation as saying on April 20.
According to ASEAN General Secretary Surin Pitsuwan, the summit would take place no later than early June.
During the upcoming summit, ASEAN and China will ink an investment cooperation agreement.
The 16 leaders of 10-member ASEAN and its six dialogue partners - China, the Republic of Korea, Japan, India, Australia and New Zealand - will discuss ways of coping with the global economic meltdown.
Leaders will also discuss the possibility of launching negotiations to establish an East Asia Free Trade Agreement for Asean+3 (China, Japan and the RoK) and a Comprehensive Economic Partnership for East Asia for Asean+6.
The ASEAN Economic Summit would be held in August as scheduled to ensure the ASEAN Economic Community remains on track to be implemented by 2015, Deputy Minister Alongkorn said.
