The Mekong Subregion in Southeast Asia has emerged as a focal point in global geopolitics, influenced heavily by international political developments and great power rivalries. As the strategic interest of the region intensifies, the European Union (EU) seeks to navigate this dynamic landscape, balancing economic competition with cooperation and aiming to increase its presence in Southeast Asia as well as its subregion.

European and Southeast Asian Views on Current Geopolitical Shifts amid Great Power Rivalries

The Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung (KAS) Office Thailand, in cooperation with the Faculty of Political Science and Public Administration at Chiang Mai University, hosted a roundtable discussion titled "Navigating the Nexus: European and Southeast Asian Views on Current Geopolitical Shifts amid Great Power Rivalries."

The discussion addressed three critical questions that shaped the EU's engagement in the Mekong Subregion and Southeast Asia's response to the increasing interest.
