ASEAN takes half steps on trade, security issues

The 1995 summit of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations once more failed to come up with significant strides toward trade liberalization within the region and instead, came up with the usual platitudes such as the opposition to nuclear weapons and the aspiration towards a higher standard of living. With regards to intraregional free trade, the issue on farm product protection became the stumbling block as some countries such as Indonesia refused to eliminate some existing tariffs.
