00:14Connie, the first part of the ASEAN Summit that will continue today from here in Vientiane, Laos, PDR,
00:21is the ASEAN-China Summit.
00:23Connie means that these are the ASEAN Member States and the so-called Dialogue Partners that will help.
00:30One of them is China, which is also the biggest trading partner of ASEAN.
00:34In 2023, China and ASEAN countries will reach a value of more than 500 billion US dollars.
00:41In his opening statement, Prime Minister Tsai Ing-Wen mentioned China's great contribution to the economy of the countries.
00:49In ASEAN, aside from being the biggest trading partner, it is also the third biggest source of foreign direct investments.
00:55A free trade agreement is expected to be signed in this area, which is far from being finalized in 2025.
01:03However, media access to these areas is limited and the details of the agreement have been waiting for months.
01:09Aside from discussing the economy and trade, one of the firming issues between China and ASEAN is the South China Sea
01:16and the Code of Conduct that has been discussed for more than three decades but has not yet been finalized.
01:22But it is expected that it will continue to grow, especially since the Philippines is not the only one affected by China's involvement in the South China Sea.
01:30Meanwhile, last night, the President of the Sierra Public Company of Thailand,
01:35which is one of the largest manufacturers of fiber cement boards and concrete roof tiles in the world, helped.
01:40The company discussed the plan to build a fiber cement material plant in Mabalak and Pampanga,
01:45and this project is worth almost Php 3 billion.
01:49Currently, the ASEAN-South Korea Summit is taking place and there are also bilateral or one-on-one meetings scheduled by President Bongbong Marcos
01:59with leaders such as the new Prime Minister of Japan and also the leaders of New Zealand and Canada.
