Speaking of his recent visit to China, he noted the Belt and Road Initiative had identified gaps like transport systems, and would mean infrastructure being built in emerging econo-mies along trade routes.
Finding more ways for countries to work together and grow trade and investments will be a key part of Singapore's chairmanship of Asean next year, he said, citing infocomm technology and e-commerce as areas for growth. There is also scope for Asean to work with other partners, such as Japan and India, he added.
