Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday said India cherishes its “strong ties” with the ASEAN family after attending the opening ceremony of the 31st edition of the summit in Manila, Philippines.

“ASEAN celebrates 50 years of robust cooperation and working towards a better tomorrow. India cherishes the strong ties with the @ASEAN family,” Modi tweeted.

Earlier on Sunday, Modi interacted with world leaders, including US President Donald Trump, Chinese Premier Li Keqiang and Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, at a gala dinner reception hosted by Filipino President Rodrigo Duterte ahead of this year’s India-Asean and East Asia Summits.
