Prime Minister Narendra Modi along with Vietnam PM Nguyen Xuan Phuc will co-chair the 17th ASEAN-India summit on Thursday.

The leaders of all 10 ASEAN member states will participate in the summit. The summit would be held online, said an MEA statement. The summit takes place days before the ASEAN inks a free trade agreement from which India had opted out. The pact includes China, Japan, Australia, South Korea and New Zealand.

The summit will review the status of ASEAN-India Strategic Partnership and take stock of progress made in key areas such as connectivity, maritime cooperation, trade and commerce, education and capacity building. The leaders will discuss ways to further strengthen ASEAN-India engagement and will note the adoption of ASEAN-India Plan of Action (2021-2025).

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
