Bangkok (Thailand), April 4 -- Bangladesh Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus on Friday sought support from the elite of Thai society in Dhaka's efforts to join the Association of South East Asian Nations.

"That is where our future is," the Chief Adviser told Thai dignitaries at a breakfast meeting at a hotel in the Thai capital city.

Bangladesh has planned to join the ASEAN as its sectoral dialogue partner, but Professor Yunus said the ultimate goal is to join as a full member of the key regional group.

The Chief Adviser said Bangladesh believes in multilateralism, and it is a proud member of SAARC and BIMSTEC.

He said the regional groups should step up their efforts to foster economic growth and bring people closer.
