The signing of world's largest trade pact by the 16-nation Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership is likely to be delayed till next year.
This has been stated in the draft statement issued by Southeast Asian leaders at their summit in Bangkok.
However, it said all members are committed to sign the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership next year in Vietnam, which will take over the ASEAN chair.
Objections by India have dampened hopes of finalising the pact at this weekend's ASEAN summit in Bangkok, where members of the 10-nation bloc have been joined by the premiers of India and China.
