Asean-South Korea ties deepen, but partnership still lacks 'legacy project'

Dozens of memorandums of understanding were signed on the sidelines of the Asean-Korea Commemorative Summit in Busan this week, as South Korea seeks to step up collaboration with Asean in areas ranging from technology to logistics, security and smart cities.
