Chinese official says breakthroughs made in Asia trade talks

BANGKOK, Nov 4 (Reuters) - A Chinese official on Monday said
breakthroughs have been made in negotiations for an Asia-wide
trade pact that would be the world's biggest trade deal, though
he said consultations with India are still going on.
An announcement on the deal would be made later in the day
by leaders attending the Association of Southeast Asian Nations
(ASEAN) summit in Bangkok, said Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Le
Yucheng.
Host country Thailand had said earlier that the deal would
be ready to sign in 2020.
Le said there were a "few outstanding issues that will be
completed by this year" and added that "whenever India is ready
they are welcomed to come on board".
The envisioned bloc includes the 10 ASEAN members plus
China, South Korea, Japan, India, Australia and New Zealand.
