NewsAdvancing Partnerships, Prospering Together: The 14th ASEAN Leadership Forum
The ASEAN Strategy and Leadership Institute (ASLI) organized the 14th ASEAN Leadership Forum last April 28, with the theme: Advancing Partnerships, Prospering Together in a New World Economy.
The forum, which aimed to bring together different ASEAN sectors in order to address the evolving economic, political, digital, and social trends within the region, was attended by core members of the ASEAN Society-Philippines, including PCID’s Program Director, Atty. Salma Pir Rasul, PCID Vice President Atty. Nasser Marohomsalic, and Atty. Flor Garcia.
Later in the evening, Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte urged the leaders of the private sector and civil society organizations to engage with ASEAN nations to address the challenges present in the region. According to President Duterte, one of the greatest challenges faced by the ASEAN community is the constant struggle for stability and security, against the threats posed by the illegal drug trade, terrorism, and more importantly, violent extremism.
