The COVID-19 pandemic that has lasted for almost t

The COVID-19 pandemic that has lasted for almost two years has affected various aspects of economic growth. In Southeast Asia, especially ASEAN member countries, the tourism sector has experienced a fairly severe impact during this pandemic. Restrictions on interaction between people and prohibitions for tourist attractions to hold activities that can cause crowds, forced the tourism industry in Southeast Asia to be temporarily closed.

With the development of vaccines distribution in every country, the tourism sector in Southeast Asia has started to run again. By considering to actuate the wheels of the economy back, the tourism industry is one of the sectors that is starting to run again. Various strategies were launched by ASEAN to arrange the most effective policies to re-run this sector. How did ASEAN initiate it? Check it out in the Get To Know ASEAN post below!

Although climate change poses risks for population

Although climate change poses risks for populations globally, mitigating climate change is particularly crucial for Southeast Asian nations. Unfortunately, there are many reasons why Southeast Asia is uniquely vulnerable to the impending impacts of climate change. Southeast Asian states have a high proportion of the population living in coastal areas vulnerable to rising sea levels.

In general, ASEAN and the national governments of its member states can focus on two types of climate strategies: adaptation and mitigation. Adaptation aims to respond to or prevent the specific environmental impacts of climate change. Mitigation involves a big picture approach and aims to reduce the threat of these impacts by cutting emissions and halting the global process of climate change itself. Adaptation is a suitable policy strategy for national governments in ASEAN, as this strategy relies less on collective action.

Chile is one of the most strategic as well as the closest partners of ASEAN, this can be seen from the fact that Chile is the first Latin America that cooperates with ASEAN. Since 2019, both parties enhance their cooperation by established ASEAN-Chile Development Program (ACDP). With the establishment of ACDP, the partnership between Chile and ASEAN becomes more comprehensive as well as institutionalized.

In 2019, the flow of foreign direct investment funds reached USD 490 million in total.Two years after the formation of AC-DPC, both ASEAN and Chile agreed to adoptthe ASEAN–Chile Practical Cooperation Areas (PCA) for ASEAN-Chile Development Partnership 2021-2025. The PCA acted as a guideline for the cooperation between two parties for the next five years.

South-East Asia is strategically located at the cr

South-East Asia is strategically located at the crossing of the Indian Ocean and the South China Sea and between two continents Australia and Asia. South-East Asia, as we know, have two countries, Indonesia and The Philippines that are archipelagic, Myanmar that adjacent directly to the Indian Ocean, Singapore, and Malaysia is located at the crossroads between the Malacca Strait and the South China Sea, then Vietnam and Brunei Darussalam are adjacent to the South China Sea. The region is home of importance oceans, seas, and straits that formed one of the busiest international Sea Lanes of Communications (SLOCs). Those facts above make the international trade between countries by the sea transportation revolving frequently in this region.

In a pandemic situation that spreads worldwide, communication and distribution of humanitarian and logistical assistance from one country to another for handling the virus outbreaks also enliven international sea trade routes.

So what are the opportunities and challenges faced by countries in Southeast Asia in tackling this piracy and sea robbery? especially in protecting the logistics distribution of humanitarian aid to overcome the COVID-19 pandemic in the region, let's read the article in the second ASEAN Notes released this month.

This article was written by Syukron Subkhi, he is a Media and Publication Officer at ASEAN Studies Center Universitas Gadjah Mada.
