We start today's double podcast discussing a seismic shift in energy markets related to Russia and how what was once seen as a temporary arrangement now looks like it will be permanent. We then move onto why the attendance of China and Russia simultaneously in North Korea was not just a show of support for Pyongyang. We then move onto discussing the implementation of a major local currency initiative between the ASEAN nations and continue assessing a blueprint for the future corporation across multiple sectors between China and the ASEAN.
