SINGAPORE -- Countries in Southeast Asia will jointly promote the digital economy including the creation of a new cross-border e-commerce framework, ASEAN economic ministers agreed Friday at a meeting in Singapore. The move is designed to allow the region's businesses to better capture growth opportunities.
Economic ministers from 10 members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations held a two-day meeting in Singapore, this year's chair of the grouping, where they discussed priority areas for 2018.
