Jakarta, Nov 21 (PTI) ASEAN wants a “stronger” relationship with India, Secretary-General Dr Kao Kim Hourn of the 10-member bloc of the Southeast Asian countries has said while noting that the free trade pact between the two sides is under review.

Talking to a select group of Indian journalists here on Monday evening, Dr Kao noted the huge trade and investment potential between the two sides given the size of their population.
