US presidential polls, S-E Asia's youth among topics at ST forum
The Straits Times
|November 02, 2024
The Straits Times is organising a forum on Nov 12 that looks at the impact of the US presidential election and the changing face of South-east Asia's youth.
Minister for Transport and Second Minister for Finance Chee Hong Tat will discuss geopolitics in a fireside chat with ST editor Jaime Ho at the event.
Mr Luhut Pandjaitan, Indonesia's newly appointed chairman of the National Economic Council and special envoy on investment of the president, will make a special address.
He was until recently Indonesia's coordinating minister for maritime affairs and investment and a powerful focal point of the previous Joko Widodo presidency.
Organised under the umbrella of SPH Media's Asia Future Summit 2024, the ST forum is the third and last edition of the series after editions by Lianhe Zaobao and The Business Times earlier this year.
