Japan, which co-chairs with Indonesia this year’s meeting of Asean+3 nations, hopes to discuss the idea of strengthening currency swap lines known as Chiang Mai Initiative Multilateralisation , finance minister Shunichi Suzuki told a news conference today. Suzuki said he plans to attend the Asean+3 meeting on Tuesday, to be held on the sidelines of the Asian Development Bank’s annual meeting in Incheon in South Korea next week.
