ASEAN (the Association of Southeast Asian Nations) was established in August 1967 in Bangkok, and has come to feature ten (soon to be eleven) member-states in Southeast Asia. The comprehensive rise of ASEAN is one of the most remarkable phenomena that have defined global geopolitics and economics over the past two decades. With over 660 million people and a dynamic, young, and vibrant workforce, Southeast Asia is doubtlessly a region to watch for those who are interested in the rise of Asia and the increasingly multipolar world order. As China’s most international, globally embedded, and cosmopolitan city, Hong Kong has a critical role to play in bridging Northeast and Southeast Asia. Through rigorous, robust conversations with leading thinkers, businessmen, politicians, and academics in the region, this programme seeks to platform, exhibit, and demonstrate the fascinating intricacies and pluralities that comprise ASEAN today.
