As Kuala Lumpur prepares to host world leaders for the Asean summit, all eyes are on how the regional bloc will navigate the confluence of competing powers.
Can Asean assert its own agenda at this summit, or is there a risk of it being defined by the interests of others?
Astro Awani’s Melisa Idris speaks with Professor Phar Kim Beng, a professor of Asean studies and director of the Institute of International and Asean Studies at the International Islamic University Malaysia, and Dr Khoo Ying Hooi, an associate professor at the University of Malaya’s Department of International and Strategic Studies.
