The 44th ASEAN (short for the Association of Southeast Asian Nations) summit is underway, so we thought it would be a great time to do a deep dive on ASEAN, especially since Malaysia is set to take the Chairmanship next year. The idea for this conversation came from one of our listeners, Aaron Iskandar, who wanted to know more about ASEAN’s role in promoting economic and security cooperation among its members. We speak to our expert, Sharon Seah, Senior Fellow and Coordinator at the ASEAN Studies Centre at the ISEAS-Yusof Ishak Institute, for this.
