There has been an abrupt change in regional strategic thinking from the Asia-Pacific to the Indo-Pacific, the idea being broadly adopted by the major players in the region including the U.S., Japan, South Korea, and particularly the ASEAN in their own vision. Against this backdrop, this session will be addressing the following topics: What are the perception and responses of ASEAN members to the Indo-Pacific strategy, especially the U.S.-led Indo-Pacific Economic Framework for Prosperity in line with the ASEAN Outlook on Indo-Pacific(AOIP)? Is the IPEF acceptable and justifiable? Aren’t there any patterns of unity and division among ASEAN members over its Indo-Pacific strategy? What is your take on the disappearance of Asia-Pacific in the discourses on Indo-Pacific? What is a South Korean perception and interpretation of ASEAN moves on the Indo-Pacific strategy? Are there any options to harmonize Indo-Pacific and Asia-Pacific concepts?
