A.S.E.A.N. praised by China
(N.Z. Press Assn.—Copyright) TOKYO. Dec. 28.
China has expressed its appreciation of the close regional economic cooperation of five 'South-East Asian countries and said that it was “a heavy blow to the United States and the Soviet Union.” A Hsinhua news agency article monitored in Tokyo said that the Association of South-East Asian Nations (A.S.E.A.N.) has, since last January, strengthened regional economic co-operation. Tn its joint struggle against hegemony and the shifting of economic crisis on to others by the super-Powers, A.S.E.A.N. won new victories in the defence of national rights and interests.
The article said that Thailand, Malaysia. Singapore, the Philippines and Indonesia resented the selfishness of the super-Powers . . . and strongly demand a new international economic order to redress the present unreasonableness. It said the A.S.E.A.N. countries realised that only I the strengthening of unity and co-operation among themselves could free them from imperialist control.
