MFA SPOKESMAN'S COMMENTS

In response to media queries, the MFA Spokesman said:

"The ASEAN Ministers' decision not to attend the ASEM Economic Ministers' Meeting held in Rotterdam was made on a matter of principle. However, the meeting will proceed at the officials' level.

Singapore's position is that all members of international fora, such as the Asia-Europe Meeting, should be treated equally. If an EU member country has a bilateral problem with an ASEAN country, this should not translate into unequal treatment in the multilateral context."
