In this podcast episode, APF Canada’s Vice-President Research & Strategy, Vina Nadjibulla, joins our Communications Director Michael Roberts for a discussion of this year's findings from the State of Southeast Asia 2024 Survey – including Southeast Asia’s top economic and geopolitical preoccupations and the fact that China edged past the U.S. this year to become the prevailing choice if the region were forced to align itself in the ongoing U.S.-China rivalry.
The State of Southeast Asia 2024 Survey is the sixth in an annual series of surveys conducted by the ASEAN Studies Centre at ISEAS – Yusof Ishak Institute in Singapore. Based on nearly 2,000 high-value respondents from 10 Southeast Asian economies, the survey’s 72-page summary report captures perceptions of ASEAN, China, the U.S., broader Asia, the EU, and Canada.
