Moreover, this new bill <a href=\"https:\/\/thediplomat.com\/2022\/04\/indonesian-parliament-passes-long-awaited-sexual-violence-bill\/\">recognizes nine forms of sexual violence<\/a> such as physical and non-physical violence or harassment, forced contraception and sterilisation, forced marriage, sexual harassment, torture, abuse, exploitation, and cyber sexual molestation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/asia-pacific\/indonesias-parliament-passes-landmark-bill-sexual-violence-2022-04-12\/\">welcomed the passing of this bill<\/a> hoping it would solve and reduce rising sexual crimes in Indonesia, where at least 6000 sexual harassment cases have been filed since 2018. Others, however, remain concerned about the effectiveness of implementation while some even objected to the bill because they believed it should extend to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.phnompenhpost.com\/international\/indonesia-passes-long-awaited-sexual-violence-bill\">criminalize extramarital sex and LGBT relationships<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The bill remains a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/news\/2022\/4\/12\/indonesia-passes-landmark-bill-to-tackle-sexual-violence\">significant legislative step forward<\/a> in Indonesia. Many are now keeping a close eye on the effectiveness of the implementation processes of this bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Japan&#8217;s Prime Minister to visit South East Asia at the end of April<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.chinadailyhk.com\/article\/267534\">planning to visit<\/a> Thailand, Indonesia, and Vietnam in the last quarter of April during Japan\u2019s Golden Week to <a href=\"https:\/\/mainichi.jp\/english\/articles\/20220412\/p2g\/00m\/0na\/042000c\">promote bilateral cooperation<\/a> and to discuss China, the Ukraine Crisis, and Japan\u2019s Free and Open Indo-Pacific Strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the visit, PM Kishida will meet with Thai Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bernama.com\/en\/news.php?id=2071610\">promote their diplomatic relations<\/a> especially as Thailand is the current Chair of APEC. Similarly, PM Kishida\u2019s visit to Indonesia comes at the time when the <a href=\"https:\/\/english.kyodonews.net\/news\/2022\/04\/1d31eb6c5f25-urgent-japan-pm-eyes-visit-to-thailand-in-early-may-diplomatic-source.html\">country is preparing to host the G20 summit<\/a> in November 2022. Vietnam <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rfa.org\/english\/news\/china\/pm-04142022150951.html\">shares common maritime security interests<\/a> with Japan as Vietnam is a claimant state in the South China Sea dispute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After South East Asia, the Japanese Prime Minister also plans to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.japantimes.co.jp\/news\/2022\/04\/12\/national\/japan-kishida-southeast-asia-trip-europe\/\">visit Europe<\/a> to discuss the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stripes.com\/theaters\/asia_pacific\/2022-04-12\/japan-prime-minister-plans-diplomatic-tour-5667657.html\">approach toward the Russian invasion of Ukraine<\/a>.

The summit will also reconfirm <a href=\"https:\/\/cambodianess.com\/article\/the-asean-us-summit-to-be-held-on-may-12-and-13-in-united-states\">Biden\u2019s pledge to provide over 100 million USD<\/a> to the region to deal with the current pandemic, climate challenges, economic recovery, gender equality, and connectivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some believe that the summit would be crucial for the US to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rfa.org\/english\/news\/cambodia\/summit-04172022083947.html\">balance China&#8217;s rising assertiveness in the South China Sea<\/a> and the Indo-Pacific region. The summit would serve as evidence that both ASEAN and the US are <a href=\"https:\/\/saudigazette.com.sa\/article\/619455\">willing to strengthen and enhance cooperation<\/a> in the political, security, and economic domains. Some even view the summit as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.phnompenhpost.com\/national-politics\/asean-us-summit-may-12-13\">signal of the US\u2019 eagerness to maintain its engagement<\/a> with the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Myanmar\u2019s military regime will most likely be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.voacambodia.com\/a\/biden-to-host-southeast-asian-leaders-for-may-12-13-summit\/6533986.html\">banned from the summit<\/a> due to their unsettled domestic issue.
