Greetings from Thailand. We had a productive first day of meetings, three more days to go. Good to catch up with my old friends Khun Kasit, Kwankwa and Khun Chaturon. Also good to meet other friends from ASEAN. These meetings are important as ASEAN needs to reassert its centrality and unity in the coming decades, in face of the immense challenges from the geo-political quarrel of US and China.
