Cambodia, for years seen as a country to which things happen, is moving to an important role on the world stage in 2012 with its assumption of the chair of the Association of Southeast Asia States (ASEAN).
ASEAN is one of the major regional groups in the world, with 600 million people and an economy equal to the ninth largest in the world. ASEAN also hosts the ASEAN Regional Forum which, with its 27 participating countries, extends ASEAN’s influence far beyond Southeast Asia.
ASEAN is particularly important to new Zealand, not only because of its proximity, but also because of the ASEAN-Australia-New Zealand Free Trade Agreement.
