In November 2021, as Cambodia chaired ASEM13 in Phnom Penh, the Asian Vision Institute shared views on ASEM roles in global economic recovery and peace and democracy.

Chheang Vannarith, president of Asian Vision Institute, a think tank in Phnom Penh, said ASEM plays a critical role in global economic recovery as it represents 60 percent of global population, 65 percent of global economy, 55 percent of global trade and 75 percent of global tourism.

“It reaffirms the wisdom and hope that international cooperation and multilateralism prevail within the context of ambiguous and volatile global transformation,” said Chheang Vannarith.
