BANGKOK: -- LEADERS AT the Asia Cooperation Dialogue summit yesterday adopted a vision and action plan for cooperation to build the Asian Community in the next 14 years, Prime Minister Prayut Chan-O-cha said yesterday. 

During the 2nd summit of the 34 member forum at the Foreign Ministry, Prayut highlighted the need for states to realise the ACD Vision 2030, one of several goals of the Bangkok-hosted summits - to try to achieve a community for the countries across the continent.
