MANILA\u2014<\/strong>\u00a0Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday expressed his willingness to further intensify security cooperation with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).<\/p>\n

At the 15th\u00a0ASEAN-India Summit in Manila, Modi said all countries are trying hard to fight terrorism and violent extremism.<\/p>\n

He then expressed his firm support to ASEAN\u2019s goal of achieving regional security.<\/p>\n

\u201cIndia shows the ASEAN of its steady support towards achieving the rules-based regional security architecture that best attests to the region\u2019s interest and its peaceful development,\u201d Modi said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is time that we jointly address this challenge by intensifying cooperation in this crucial area and find a joint solution,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Modi added that he wants to further strengthen economic cooperation with ASEAN.<\/p>\n

\u201cMaritime links established thousands of years ago between India and ASEAN countries have enabled our trade relations in the past and we have to work closely together to further strengthen them,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Prime Minister Modi invited the ASEAN leaders to the culmination of the 25th\u00a0anniversary celebration of the India-ASEAN Special Commemorative Summit on\u00a0January 25, 2018 in New Delhi.<\/p>\n

\u201cIndia and the people of India are looking forward to receiving you for this historic occasion.\u00a0 The 1.25 billion people of India are keen to welcome the ASEAN leaders as our chief guests at India\u2019s 69th\u00a0Republic Day celebrations,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

For his part, President Rodrigo Duterte, chairman of the 31st\u00a0ASEAN Summit, thanked India for the commemorative activities that India held which highlighted the historical economic and cultural ties that bind ASEAN and India.<\/p>\n

\u201cPrime Minister Modi said that nations cannot progress unless they value and cherish their history and heritage,\u201d Duterte said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is reminiscent of the Philippines\u2019 national hero, Dr. Jose Rizal, who regarded the people\u2019s past as the key to their future,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
