In the next installment of our Webinar series, in collaboration with ASEAN Exchanges, we go live with Smartkarma Insight Provider Thomas Lam.
Australia and ASEAN have built a strong, enduring partnership over the past 50 years, culminating in the Australia-ASEAN Comprehensive Strategic Partnership (CSP) in 2021.
The CSP has accelerated inter-regional cooperation across key areas such as the energy transition, digital economy, health, and human rights, reflecting a shared commitment to regional stability and growth.
In October 2024, the 4th ASEAN-Australia Summit in Vientiane, Laos emphasized the importance of connectivity, infrastructure development, and economic integration to support ASEAN's community-building efforts.
Join us as Thomas Lam shares his expert analysis on the Summit, and what the Australia-ASEAN collaboration means for the future of the ASEAN region.
