Singapore, Nov 21: Terming India’s relationship with ASEAN countries as the pillar of its “Look East” policy, Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh today urged participating leaders to make it a people’s movement.
“In the final analysis, if the India-ASEAN process is to take root, it must become a people’s movement,” Dr. Singh said at the Sixth India-ASEAN Summit here.
Expressing hope that the trade between India and ASEAN will reach 50 billion dollars by 2010, Dr. Singh said, “India has already exceeded the target of 30 billion, which was set for year 2007.”
