DEFENSE Secretary Gilbert Teodoro on Tuesday called on military veterans from 10 Asean countries to fortify regional solidarity through 'impactful initiatives' and the formulation of clear action plans.

In a speech before the Veterans Confederation of Asean Countries (Veconac), Teodoro urged veterans to forge a cohesive alignment to make the region prosperous and peaceful for a brighter collective future and not be besieged by expansionism.
