Chris, always good to have you with us leaders of South East Asian countries known as asean are in indonesia for a summit which they hope will help to resolve the political turmoil in myanmar. Leaders of South East Asian countries known as asean it is a critical time for the io nation regional bloc, facing problems from myanmar to tensions in the south china seas. The bloc trades heavily with china, whose economy is faltering. Us President Biden is skipping asean, sending his Vp Kamala Harris instead, but the worlds biggest economy is eyeing asean markets as chinas economy slows down and investors seek faster growing asian economies. Lets go live to jakarta and speak to shinta kamdani, ceo of sintesa, a company spanning property, energy, industrial and consumer products. She is at the summit. Thank you for being with us. Talk to me first of all about the importance of this summit. Eyes on the past have been focused on china. That is still significant, have been focused on china.

Practically i think comes to meetings like this. Thank you, ben. Practically i think we comes to meetings like this. Thank you, ben. Practically i think we canj you, ben. Practically i think we can see that for asean the epicentre of growth is the theme of this year. For the indonesian chairmanship, it comes at a time when the world is facing geopolitical and economic turmoil. We focus on a more stable and peaceful region, trying to bring back the centrality of asean. The opportunities in asean, our regional strength is based on diversity, different economies. We want a young Tech Savvy Population of over 650 million people. We are really also in the middle of the largest trade deal with the Economic Partnership agreements, and the ten asean countries, plus china, japan, south korea and new zealand, they equal 30 of global gdp. On the agenda this year it is also important that we are bringing in topics like food security, health care, digital, the payment ecosystem, but also the green economy. On this last point we are hosting later this week, on the seventh and 8th Of September in indonesia, a Sustainability Forum to share Success Stories and learning on decarbonisation efforts with hundreds of Global Partners from across asean and beyond. I wonder where the opportunities across asean and beyond. I wonder where the opportunities are across asean and beyond. I wonder where the opportunities are there. I where the opportunities are there. You touched on some of the topics that will be high on the agenda at the summit. With china slowing, with the summit. With china slowing, with the opportunities in china diminishing, where are the Growth Opportunities in that region . Weill. Opportunities in that region . Well, it is true obviously opportunities in that region . Well, it is true obviously that opportunities in that region . Well, it is true obviously that There Opportunities in that region . Ii it is true obviously that there will be naturally some caution in the south asian markets due to china slowing down, but as you see the asean market itself is doing far better than other parts of the world because we have a very resilient domestic demand in private consumption. For example, in indonesia we have huge natural resources, we are now developing our end to end electric mobility and nickel is one of our biggest resources. We are looking into the health care sector, also infrastructure development, so i think when you talk about opportunity, definitely it is abundant. When we talk about the new economy, going into the green economy, going into the green economy, sustainability, that is even more important. I want to bring back why indonesia wants to have focused on sustainability and innovation, because i think this is where asean can really bring to the world even more opportunities. It is really good world even more opportunities. It is really good to world even more opportunities. It is really good to talk to you. Thanks for talking to us. A name that has dominated the Airline Industry down under is to retire early. The Chief Executive of the Australian Airline qantas has quit two months ahead of planned after a difficult few weeks for the company. Alanjoyce, who has held the post for 15 years, says he will retire early to help the firm move ahead. Vanessa hudson will take over as the carriers first female boss. So what is going on here . We asked our Business Reporter in the region, katie silver. 15 years in the job and it does seem that his legacy has been somewhat dashed. The reason for all of this are the mounting controversies that qantas has found itself facing. It has, of course, recently had record profits, but theres been a series of scandals and that has led to growing anger amongst the australian population. In fact, the airline is facing legal action on numerous fronts. Most recently, australias Competition Regulator said that they were going to be investigating the airline over about 8,000 flights that were cancelled, but consumers werent informed. So customers, for example, had tickets on these flights or the airline actually even continued to sell tickets for multiple weeks, even though they knew that these flights were cancelled. Now, the airline has admitted fault on this front, said that it has indeed caused Reputational Damage, but that is by far and away not the only thing that has caused Reputational Damage for qantas recently. In fact, theyve faced a slew of criticism over everything from Price Gouging to delays and cancellations, to the fact that consumers are talking about the long waits that they have to go through to get through to somebody on call centres. They even also are facing criticism about the way workers were treated during covid. A court, for example, found that qantas actually illegally outsourced thousands of jobs. All of this comes as the airline also records record profits. Last month, for example, it recorded about a 1. 5 half billion dollar profit last year, and that is leading many to question what is the future of this airline. Now, you say that vanessa hudson, who was the chief financial officer, shell be taking the realms now. When she was announced back in may, she said that restoring reputation would be her top priority. Indeed, she certainly has quite thejob on her hands. Lets get some of the days other news now.
