This speech was part of the Southeast Asia Summit on Prosperity and Sustainability (SEAPS), held at Stanford University on May 19–20, 2025. The summit gathered hundreds of academics, professionals, business leaders, government officials, and organizations from Southeast Asia and around the world.
In this session, Gita Wirjawan addressed three key themes concerning Southeast Asia: (1) the region’s socio-cultural, economic, geographic, and natural resource potential; (2) the urgent challenges that must be tackled to enable regional progress; and (3) strategic approaches to help Southeast Asia navigate an increasingly volatile global landscape.
