His lecture focused on ASEAN鈥檚 evolving role in regionalism and global trade, shedding light on the region鈥檚 strategic positioning amid global power shifts.

"I had the honor of delivering a lecture to MBA students at the Faculty of Economics and Management, Yerevan State University, on ASEAN鈥檚 evolving role in regionalism and global trade," said Kostanian. "My lecture explored ASEAN鈥檚 centrality, the evolving U.S.-China strategic competition, Indonesia鈥檚 independent free and active foreign policy, and its skillful implementation of a hedging strategy."

Kostanian鈥檚 insights provided students with a deeper understanding of ASEAN鈥檚 role as a key player in global trade and regional integration.
