Episode Details

ASEAN and Russia have unveiled a new cooperation roadmap through 2030, covering trade, energy, food security, and digitalisation at a time of heightened geopolitical uncertainty. For countries such as Malaysia, the relationship presents opportunities in energy security, investment, and alternative trade arrangements, but also raises questions about sanctions risks and balancing ties with competing global powers. As ASEAN members deepen engagement with both Russia and BRICS, can these partnerships deliver meaningful economic benefits, or will geopolitical realities limit how far cooperation can go?
