Asia Dialogue: Pressing call for Asian unity in era of tumult

This year’s session carried particular weight, coinciding with the early months of President Lee Jae Myung’s administration and coming just weeks before the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in Gyeongju.

Under the theme of “Asia Dialogue: Shifting Trade Order and Regional Solidarity," the forum convened at a moment of unsettled global conditions, from escalating trade frictions and supply chain realignments to intensifying geopolitical rivalries and shifting security balances.
