ASEAN just celebrated its 55th anniversary on 8 August 2022.
We have come a long way from our humble beginning to becoming a force to be reckoned with – the convening power like no other. But we should not be under any illusion that the road ahead is going to be rosy. ASEAN is not without its challenges, especially in the current context of international security and geopolitics and the Covid-19 recovery.
