NUS Tembusu Forum: ASEAN is the region’s pillar of peace

The Tembusu Forum titled “ASEAN at 50: Success or a disappointment?”, organised by Tembusu College at NUS on 12 September 2017, touched on various ASEAN hits and misses, such as differences in administration capabilities and style, resolution of territorial disputes and humanitarian issues. It was moderated by Prof Tommy Koh, Rector of Tembusu College and also Singapore’s Ambassador-at-Large, who noted that one of the big successes achieved by ASEAN is its role as the region’s pillar of peace well over the last 50 years.
