摘要

cqvip:On June 23, the 34th ASEAN Leaders’ Meeting with the theme of “Advancing Partnership for Sustainability” concluded in Bangkok, Thailand. In the spirit of cooperation, concerted efforts, progress and sustainable development, the summit mainly focused on political, security, economic and socio-cultural issues. Against the backdrop of great uncertainty brought to the global economy by the trade dispute initiated by the U.S., ASEAN member states sent a clear signal against trade protectionism and firm support for the multilateral trading system. Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) became a catchphrase at the summit.
