Why ASEAN Centrality Matters
Presented by ANU College of Asia & the Pacific
The ANU Drysdale Public Forum features a presentation on 'Why ASEAN Centrality Matters' by Sidharto Suryodipuro, Director General for ASEAN Cooperation in the Indonesian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the principal coordinator of Indonesia's role as Chair of ASEAN in 2023.
Since its establishment in 1967, ASEAN has showcased remarkable resilience in navigating power struggles among major global players. As the region finds itself at the centre of geopolitical tensions, understanding ASEAN's leadership and centrality is pivotal in shaping the trajectory of the region and its position in the international order, as well as how best Australia might shape its own foreign policy in the region. This forum offers a platform to explore and discuss the importance of ASEAN's centrality and its implications for foreign policy directions.
