ASEAN energy ministers are convening to address growing concerns over regional energy security as global supply disruptions intensify following the conflict in Ukraine and new tensions involving Iran. The meeting comes as rising fuel costs and shortages threaten economic stability across Southeast Asia, where reliance on imported energy has left countries vulnerable to geopolitical shocks. Experts warn that the situation could worsen if sanctions or disruptions in key energy trade routes persist, forcing governments to explore alternative solutions. With energy markets already strained, the discussions may focus on strengthening supply chains and diversifying sources to mitigate the impact on industries and households.
