Jeg mener dog, at man fra international side skal overveje handling i stedet for ord, og som medlem af Parlamentets delegation for forbindelser med medlemsstater i ASEAN, Sydøstasien og republikken Korea er jeg som mange andre skuffet og bekymret over, at EU har besluttet at forsøge at få en dialog i gang med ASEAN på ministerniveau i Laos i næste måned.
However, I do believe that the international community needs to move on from rhetoric to real action and, as a member of Parliament's Delegation for relations with the Member States of ASEAN, South-east Asia and the Republic of Korea, I am disappointed and concerned like others before me that the EU has decided to enter into dialogue with ASEAN in Laos next month at ministerial level.
