17th ASEAN & Asia Forum – The Global Future and Challenges Ahead

In a time of unprecedented global change, the shifting dynamics in political landscapes and international relations bring about a new global order. A Trump 2.0 administration has brought about new changes impacting global governance, that threaten to disrupt connections and undermine the stability of the established rules-based order. 

ASEAN stands at the crosshairs of these shifting geopolitical landscapes and economic transformations. The region will have to collectively find ways to strengthen its resilience as well as explore economic and security strategies to navigate a delicate balancing act, while avoiding being drawn into geopolitical tensions and great power rivalry. Collaborating on energy and digital infrastructure ideas and solutions will foster regional economic integration and create resilient value-added supply chains within ASEAN and with its regional partners.  

To foster understanding and dialogue in our region, the Singapore Institute of International Affairs is organising the 17th ASEAN and Asia Forum (AAF) in partnership with the 4th Asian Council of Economic Policy (ACEP), with the theme “The Global Future and Challenges Ahead”. Through three panels focusing on building resilience and sustainable chains between ASEAN and its dialogue partners, we aim to address the following questions:    

• What steps can be taken to ensure resilience and foster deeper cooperation in the face of geopolitical shifts and economic challenges? 

• How can collaboration between policymakers and businesses drive greater regional connectivity and long-term growth? 

• How can ASEAN work together on energy and digital infrastructures to strengthen supply chains and boost regional economic ties?
