The latest ASEAN Summit in Bangkok finally proved critics wrong as regional leaders made progress in settling a mammoth trade pact despite India’s departure. India made last-minute demands in the run-up to the final stage of the 35th ASEAN Summit in Bangkok, derailing the talks. “There is also strong opposition coming from many groups in India,” said Kaewkamol Pitakdumrongkit, deputy head and Asst Prof at RSIS. She said, “For example, the manufacturing sector fears a surge of Chinese imports if India opens up [its economy].”
