In this weeks exciting podcast we are joined by Afeeya Akhand from the Australian Strategic Policy Institute!

In the episode, we explore how ASEAN and Australia can safeguard diversity and inclusion in diplomacy amidst global pushback, and discuss ways to ensure intersectionality remains central to regional engagement. We also delve into the role of young people driving climate action across Southeast Asia, and what more can be done to support youth-led solutions beyond symbolic events. Finally, we unpack how Australian youth can deepen their involvement in the Indo-Pacific and hear expert insights on strengthening Australia–South Korea cooperation with ASEAN countries.
