"So, one thing is certain: Southeast Asia is a region of rapidly growing geopolitical and economic significance, and nearly every major power in the world has a stake in this strategic region. Today, the region has become a heavyweight in its own right. Southeast Asia’s combined economy of $3.4 trillion dollars—it is one of the fastest-growing economies in the world right now, with a roughly 5.5% growth in 2002—and as we know, it also lies at the crossroads of the global economy, with one-third of all trade passing through the maritime regions of Southeast Asia."
