Thank you
I've been listening to the testimony here. Japan was mentioned just a few moments ago as being an effective partner in ASEAN and as being respected amongst ASEAN nations.
I'd be interested in hearing your perspective on how Australia's role in the region has been perceived. What in Australia's approach has been effective, and what has been less effective?
Perhaps all three of you could comment on that. I ask that in the context of Canada's being a member of the Commonwealth, a parliamentary democracy similar in size to Australia economically and in terms of population. That's the context in which I ask this question.
