Announcement
Japan has been an active and successful Dialogue Partner of ASEAN for many decades. However, the global geopolitical and geoeconomic conditions as well as ASEAN’s needs in the future are different from before, requiring different approaches from both sides. While there are many positive reasons why the relationship between the two can continue to thrive, there are also areas in which the two sides are poorly matched or even having contradictory objectives. This session will explore what the latest State of Southeast Asia 2024 survey report reveals about these factors and point towards what can be done about them.
