I care about ASEAN and the climate.

Malaysia considering permanent special envoy to Myanmar. Apparently some members asking.

[Melissa Goh @MelGohCNA]

“ We are the speakers and not just the spoken for” stressed Malaysia foreign minister Mohamad Hasan in his opening remark in Langkawi. He called on ‘incoming leaders’ from ASEAN dialogue partner nations to engage with the South East Asian bloc diplomatically and open mindedly .

Fulcrum Commentary by @Sharon__Seah and @moemoethuzar - After years of intractability, the regional organisation needs to move as one to make any headway on Myanmar. It is not clear this can be done without inclusive conversations. #ASEAN https://t.co/R59WDfWDvM

It's #ASEAN season, all eyes on SEA's reactions 2 geopolitical contestations. Joanne & I look @ some issues tt made for difficult negotiations last wk, including #Gaza, #RussiaUkraine, and #Myanmar, & what this means for ASEAN's unity & centrality. https://t.co/qxrOb6ru2J

Msia seeking to join #BRICS is part geopolitical hedge and part frustration with western rules based order. For countries in China's orbit, #Brics "affords a cover for them to diversify their relationships... and thus hedge against China."

The highly negotiated Joint Communique of the 57th AMM is out. Contention over the SCS para. Mention of recent flareups tamped down to "axns tt put safety of all persons at risk" (para 154)

Thailand is an outlier in the region in its response to major power rivalry. Curious case.

[ISEAS - Yusof Ishak Institute @ISEAS]

Fulcrum Commentary by @Sharon__Seah and Tita Sanglee - Thailand stands out in the region for its unruffled response to rising great power rivalry. Why so? #US #China #Defence https://t.co/tYBcNooCMs

[sharon seah @Sharon__Seah]

Nothing changes for #ASEAN too. Not that the Potus would grace the summit in vientiane.

On behalf of the American people, I thank Joe Biden for his extraordinary leadership as President of the United States and for his decades of service to our country.

I am honored to have the President’s endorsement and my intention is to earn and win this nomination.

SEA's growing fomo:
"ASN does not constrain its mbers fm joining o/r multilat cooperation platforms, but the unexpected eagerness of ASN ctries to join BRICS does speak to a weakening faith in ASEAN’s ability to hedge & foster greater intra-regional trade integration..."

[ISEAS - Yusof Ishak Institute @ISEAS]

Fulcrum Commentary by @Sharon__Seah - The fact that five Southeast Asian countries are seeking to join BRICS should not be seen as an affront to the West and its so-called rule-based order. https://t.co/kMC7EhsT3I

Very useful insights from one of #SoutheastAsia’s foremost think tanks about Australia’s role in our region and how we can further deepen engagement.

"Perhaps the tide of sentiment has shifted toward China as the more consequential relationship for the region, but it remains to be seen whether the recent trend of diminishing regard for the U.S.’s strategic partnership will mark a sea change in regional geopolitics."

[ISEAS - Yusof Ishak Institute @ISEAS]

.@Sharon__Seah - US was ASEAN’s preferred power to align with since the 2020 #SSEA survey. This year, more respondents are leaning toward China. SEA may remain engaged with the US while harbouring apprehensions towards China, but the tide may be shifting. https://t.co/670jwvElK0
