Prime Minister Manmohan Singh arrived in Kuala Lumpur on Sunday to attend the 11th ASEAN Summit.
The prime minister said that the Summit is an occasion to review the progress made with respect to relations with the ASEAN nations.
He said India would consider new initiatives for cooperation.
While in Malaysia, Dr Singh will address the Special Leader's Dialogue organised by the ASEAN Business Advisory Council. Besides, he will hold bilateral talks with the leaders of China, South Korea and Japan.
"It is the beginning of a process that brings together countries with increasing inter-linkages and growing inter-dependence," he said, adding, "It is our expectation that the Summit would articulate a collective long-term vision for shaping the regional architecture and promoting community building."
