(ONLINE) Understanding ASEAN’S Approach to the Indo-Pacific: regional priorities, cooperation and challenges

To achieve the maximum synergy between the interests and priorities of the Czech Republic in the Indo-Pacific and the framework of EU relations and policies, it will be crucial to make use of existing states of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). 

The speakers will respond to questions related to regional & international issues, economic cooperation and trade, ASEAN centrality and key players in the region.

The main purpose of the discussion is to achieve a better understanding of ASEAN, but also of individual countries, with a special focus on Thailand and Singapore, and to outline how external partners, such as the Czech Republic or South Korea, could support and undertake substantive and tangible cooperation on agreed areas. 

Speakers:
Dr Piti Srisangnam, Executive Director of the ASEAN Foundation (Jakarta, Indonesia); Faculty of Economics, Chulalongkom University (Thailand)

Dr Alan Chong, Senior Fellow, RSIS NTU Singapore

Dr Yoon Jung Choi, Director, Center for Indo-Pacific Studies, Sejong Institute, South Korea

Chaired by Alica Kizeková, Senior Researcher, Institute of International Relations Prague
