KUALA LUMPUR, April 10 -- Former Bank Negara Assistant Governor Tan Sri Andrew Sheng speaks to Bernama in conjunction with the 12th ASEAN Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors Meeting (AFMGM) at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC) today.

He said ASEAN must remain neutral in the escalating global trade war over tariffs between superpowers, the United States and China.

Malaysia, as the ASEAN chair this year, has the influence to help shape the grouping's views toward neutrality as regional leaders converge for their 47th annual summit here on May 26-27.
