All attempts to regulate and consolidate a number of Western doctrines in the Asia-Pacific region seem to us, Russia, destructive, since this interferes with the development of trade and economic relations. , as well as attempts to introduce all kinds of institutions into the ASEAN region in which extra-regional players participate. This looks, at least, unconstructive,” Medvedev said, speaking at the round table “The role of responsible political forces of Russia and ASEAN countries in ensuring financial and economic security of sovereign states» during the inter-party forum «World Majority for a Multipolar World» in Vladivostok.
