Its economy accounts for more than one third of the gross gdp and it is on track to become the worlds fourthlargest economy by 2050. Less on andore or off throughout the course of the history of asean, indonesia has played a role and as the biggest country, it does need to play what you call a mutual role so its neighbors do not feel threatened, but i think in the forthcoming next five years, 10 years, we do need to have a Stronger Leadership role from indonesia to make asean really strong and to make the asean centrality a reality.
