00:00Vice President of the Asian Development Bank, Scott Morris, is upbeat about Asia's long-term outlook,
00:06despite Donald Trump's ongoing trade war.
00:09The ADB has pledged an extra $26 billion to support long-term food and nutrition security in Asia and the Pacific.
00:18Morris spoke to our correspondent, Natalie Carney, about the impact of tariffs on the region.
00:22I will say for our part as a partner in the region, we are urging all parties to engage with each other, to negotiate, to take a constructive approach.
00:34At the end of the day, the fundamentals still matter in terms of where they need to be investing.
00:40Key parts of transport infrastructure, energy security, people, investment in people.
00:45So as long as they remain on track with that kind of agenda, I think we have confidence about not so much the near term, but the long-term outlook for these countries.
