      Nice answer. Presentation and content both are good. In issues, you should also mention the Sino-US rivalry and the prospects of economic decoupling between both countries making ASEAN an arena of geopolitical confrontation.
      Other points are good, you have covered most things. Introduction and conclusion are fine.
      Keep writing. 🙂

      Introduction is fine. In the body, you have written from India perspective, first mention the structural changes among the region itself, points are fine, subheading can be better framed. Mention the Sino-US rivalry and the prospects of economic decoupling between both countries making ASEAN an arena of geopolitical confrontation. You can also India’s membership of the Quad that is viewed as a potential challenge to ASEAN centrality.

      After that mention what can India do to address these challenges which you have done in way forward. Some key points are missing, need to recalibrate Act East policy, assuring ASEAN of its centrality in the region etc should be mentioned. Other points are fine.

      Keep writing. 🙂
