SINGAPORE, Feb. 6 (Xinhua) -- ASEAN (the Association of Southeast Asian Nations) foreign ministers have agreed on the need for its member states to make use of innovation and technology to improve the lives of their peoples.

In a statement released Tuesday at the end of the ASEAN Foreign Ministers' Retreat, Singaporean foreign minister Vivian Balakrishnan said the foreign ministers expressed support for Singapore's proposal to create an ASEAN Smart Cities Network in this regard.
