The Art of the Deal: EU and ASEAN Trade and the Power of Cinema

In this episode, we are joined by Bernd Lange MEP, Chair of the European Parliament's Committee on International Trade, for an in-depth conversation on the latest developments in EU trade negotiations with ASEAN partners — including Thailand, Malaysia, and the Philippines. We explore what these talks mean for the future of Europe's geoeconomic engagement in the region and discuss the various issues on the road to agreement. And because diplomacy isn't only conducted in negotiating rooms, we also turn to the power of the big screen — examining how European and Southeast Asian cinema is emerging as a compelling soft power tool, with Richard revealing his top movie picks.

From Jakarta to Dili: ASEAN’s New Chapter and What it Means for Europe

This month, Zsuzsa [https://x.com/zsuzsettte] and Richard [https://x.com/RichHeydarian] are joined by Hunter Marston [https://bsky.app/profile/hmarston.bsky.social] to reflect on the latest developments in EU–ASEAN relations: the latest ASEAN summit, Timor-Leste’s entry as a full member, and how the recent conclusion of the EU–Indonesia CEPA is helping transform the region. Hunter examines what these shifts mean for ASEAN’s cohesion, Europe’s Indo-Pacific ambitions, and how major powers—including the US, China, India, and Japan—view a more active EU in Southeast Asia. The discussion also looks at the opportunities around Timor-Leste’s integration and how CEPA could redefine Europe’s economic strategy in the region. Zsuzsa and Richard wrap up with reflections on Europe’s strategic credibility and the cultural stories behind this new chapter in EU–ASEAN engagement.
