The session will examine how ASEAN may navigate great power rivalry in the region, particularly amidst the growing number of IndoPacific strategies in the region, including the US, Japan, India, Australia, the EU, the UK, and the ROK. Will the ASEAN Outlook on the IndoPacific be sufficient in guiding ASEAN in the region and retaining its centrality in the regional security architecture? How should ASEAN respond to the plethora of new initiatives? From the G7’s Global Partnership for Infrastructure and Investment to the EU’s Global Gateway Initiative and China’s Global Security Initiative, what should ASEAN anchor itself to? How can ASEAN best articulate its priorities and maintain its centrality in the rapidly changing geopolitical order that is witnessing greater proliferation of minilateral groupings such as the Quad and AUKUS? The roundtable was held on 1 November 2022.
