Prime Minister Narendra Modi today said he looked forward to discussing with ASEAN leaders the future contours of India’s partnership with the grouping which has now entered its fourth decade.
In a statement before his departure for Indonesia to attend ASEAN related meetings, he noted that India’s engagement with ASEAN was an important pillar of New Delhi’s “Act East” policy.
