OPINION: New Asean CEO must seize the moment
One of Surin Pitsuwan's priorities ought to be to feel the pulse of the "people" and translate it into actionable input or recommendations to leaders.
It is against this backdrop that he took up the post of secretary-general of Asean on Monday for the next five years, bringing with him impressive credentials.
The Harvard doctoral holder was an active and progressive foreign minister of Thailand (1997-2001) and deputy foreign minister (1992-95). He was once talked of as a possible candidate to succeed Kofi Annan as United Nations secretary-general if the Ghanaian failed in his bid for a second term.
Surin has the attributes to meet the challenges and opportunities. For the first time, we have a skilled and long-time politician at the helm of the grouping, an experienced, pragmatic and articulate one at that.
