ASEAN’s Secretary-General: The Man, The Meetings, The…Well, More Meetings
Ah, the thrill of international diplomacy! The glamour of shaking hands, exchanging pleasantries, and making vague promises to do better next time. And who better to embody this excitement than the Secretary-General of ASEAN, who’s been making waves (or at least, ripples) with his recent visits to Australia? Let’s dive in, shall we?
Keynote Address at ANU Southeast Asia Institute Student Research Symposium: Because Students Love a Good Speech
The Secretary-General kicked off his Australian adventure with a keynote address at the ANU Southeast Asia Institute Student Research Symposium. Now, I’m no expert, but I’m pretty sure the only thing more exciting than a keynote address is a timeshare presentation. Just kidding, folks! I’m sure it was a real thrill-ride. After all, who wouldn’t want to listen to a bureaucrat talk about the importance of regional cooperation and economic integration?
Meetings, Meetings, and More Meetings: Because That’s What Diplomats Do Best
But wait, there’s more! The Secretary-General also met with:
- The Deputy Secretary and Senior Official Leader for SOMTC of Australia (try saying that three times fast)
- The Secretary of Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade of Australia (because who doesn’t love a good acronym?)
- Australia’s Deputy Secretary for Strategic Planning and Coordination Group (I’m starting to see a pattern here)
Now, I’m not one to criticize, but it seems like the Secretary-General’s schedule was more packed than a Ryanair flight on a bank holiday weekend. I mean, couldn’t they have just had a group meeting and saved everyone the trouble?
Working Visit to Australia: Because "Working" is Just a Fancy Word for "Holiday"
And finally, the Secretary-General embarked on a working visit to Australia, because who needs a holiday when you can call it a working visit and expense it to the taxpayers? I’m kidding, of course (or am I?). In all seriousness, it’s great to see the Secretary-General taking the initiative to strengthen ties between ASEAN and Australia.
Conclusion: Because We Need to Wrap This Up Before the Secretary-General’s Next Meeting
In conclusion, the Secretary-General of ASEAN has been a busy bee, flitting from meeting to meeting, shaking hands, and making speeches. And while it may not be the most exciting thing in the world, someone’s gotta do it. So, here’s to the Secretary-General: may his future meetings be productive, his speeches be engaging, and his working visits be, well, not too much work.
