🔹 While regional actors prefer partnering with each other over relying on extra-regional players, there is still significant work to be done to enhance cooperation within South Asia.

Honoured to participate in the @APLNofficial workshop on Maritime Confidence and Security Building Measures in the Asia-Pacific, held in Seoul.

[Asia-Pacific Leadership Network @APLNofficial]

On April 14-15, APLN hosted two workshops on Exploring New #Maritime Confidence and Security Building Measures in the Asia-Pacific. The workshops separately convened experts from Northeast Asia and South Asia to discuss opportunities and potential hurdles for new confidence and security building measures within their regions.

[Chulanee Attanayake @Chulaneejk]

Key takeaways:
🔹 Maritime security cooperation is intrinsically linked to national security priorities—how a state engages and with whom depends on its own threat perceptions.

@UmeshMoramudali Unfortunately the geopolitics overrides the facts. Tha facts does not support the favored narrative. I have been repeating this over and over for so many years at every conference and workshop when I have been raised the question on Hambantota. Looks like it falls into deaf ears.

[Chulanee Attanayake @Chulaneejk]

@becstrating @AlboMP This is interesting.

[Chulanee Attanayake @Chulaneejk]

Delighted to share this recent publication, where I explore how #China uses #Busdhism as a tool. Quite interesting for a state governed by self-procclaimed #atheist party.

[Centre for Social and Economic Progress @CSEP_Org]

The next three chapters by @Chulaneejk, @anekarebeccaraj & @SinghRaunab, and @AsangaAbey explore how China uses Buddhism and party-to-party links to engage new partners in the region.

Re - Unpaid Internships.

Internships give you an essential career boost.

Many competent folk cannot afford to work for 3-6 mo. without getting paid.

Ultimately only the ones with power, networks and wealth end up getting them.

Pay the interns!
