India fully supports a strong, unified, and prosperous ASEAN, one whose centrality in Indo-Pacific is fully recognised,” the Union Minister said. “A better-connected India and ASEAN would be well-positioned to promote decentralised globalisation and resilient and reliable supply chains that are needed by international community.
