Asia must make money, not trouble: Thai PM

PM. Yingluck Shinawatra

NEW YORK (AFP) - Thai Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra said on Wednesday that Asia's emerging economies can help the troubled global economy, but warned against allowing conflict in the seas around China from derailing development.

"The Asia Pacific region is a key engine of the global economy," she said in New York in a talk at the Asia Society.

However, the standoff between China and several neighbors over disputed islands must be resolved, she warned.

"We will not be successful in promoting economic development and prosperity if there are tensions," she said, adding Thailand was "determined to do what we can" to defuse the situation.
