DAVOS: The shifting global order is subjecting Asean to one of its toughest tests in decades, but speakers at a World Economic Forum panel said the turbulence is also creating opportunities the region is well placed to seize.
Even as South-East Asia moves slower than it would like to – and recognises its own challenges – it often gives itself too hard a time and should capitalise on its diversity, neutrality and growing resilience, said the panel of government and business leaders at the forum’s annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland, on Thursday (Jan 22).
