BUSINESS LEADERS, GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS, NGO

leaders, and entrepreneurs will examine the often unrec-

ognized role of private sector business in poverty reduc-

tion, sustainable development, and regional stability, par-

ticularly highlighting emerging markets in Southeast Asia,

in a series of forums at the 2017 Global Peace Convention.

Extreme income disparity and lack of a strong middle

class have kept societies unstable throughout the world.

Outbreaks of war and civil disorder divert development

resources to military and security use, and cripple incen-

tives for investment and long-term development. Other

human costs can’t be measured—disease, displacement,

poverty and destruction of infrastructure.

Conversely, economic activity thrives in an environment

of political and social stability. Peace is a precondition of

prosperity, but economic cooperation and openness leads

to peace. We in the business community have a vital role

to play in promoting peaceful commerce for the welfare

of all people.

The ten member states comprising the Association of

Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) represent one of the

most dynamic economic blocs in the world. ASEAN

is a global hub of manufacturing and trade, one of the

fastest-growing consumer markets, and currently the

fourth-largest exporting region in the world. With more

than 600 million people who speak multiple languages

and dialects and represent a multitude of cultures and

religions, the ASEAN region is a complex place to do busi-

ness, but a region that offers compelling opportunities.

The opportunities presented by the dynamic region are

tempered by ongoing conflict and underdevelopment that

require broad collaboration, including the business com-

munity, to effectively answer. In 2017 Philippines Presi-

dent Rodrigo Duterte assumes the chairmanship of ASE-

AN, and he has pledged to “enhance cooperation with

global partners to ensure that the ASEAN citizens live in

peace, stability, security, and growth.”

Track: Global Peace Business and Economy

Track Overview

Violent conflict and instability disrupt markets and societies. In 2014, global economic losses due to violent conflict amounted to over US$9.8 trillion. . . . Businesses can be a powerful convener for bringing people together across national and cultural lines. They can create relationships based on a shared sense of identity and purpose, overcoming differences that, in the wider society, are more difficult to surmount. — UN Global Compact

multiplier effect at destinations, tourism is an “eye-opener” and

an “entry point” for trade and investment in other fields. Tourism

is particularly important for developing economies and holds great

potential for the Philippines.
