Citation formats

In a survey conducted in 11 Southeast Asian countries in 2026, the majority of respondents from several ASEAN countries were welcoming the growing economic influence of the ASEAN in the region. This answer was particularly popular in Brunei, as it was chosen by **** percent of the country's survey participants. However, especially worried about the growing economic influence of ASEAN in the region were respondents from Thailand.
