I still believe that the idea of promoting a spirit of unity and belonging in South-East Asia, especially with the youth in mind, cannot be outsourced to a foundation as the Asean Secretariat is doing with the Asean Foundation.

There is nothing wrong with having a philanthropic foundation at the core of regional action to promote youth empowerment and the overarching idea of a more youth-tuned and inspired Asean identity.
