KUALA LUMPUR/Asean (Bernama): Malaysia's proactive crisis management approach is reshaping the scope of Asean centrality while carving out greater manoeuvre space for regional autonomy amid intensifying great-power competition.
In a commentary, Dr Rahul Mishra, Associate Professor at the Centre for Indo-Pacific Studies, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi and Asma Rassy, a research scholar at Universiti Malaya, noted that Malaysia’s successful mediation in the Thailand-Cambodia border dispute marks a turning point in Asean diplomacy, which could be further strengthened if the Myanmar crisis is also managed skilfully.
