The reinvestment of Southeast Asia at the turn of the 21st century is an issue that the United Kingdom has not failed to address in order to maintain its position on the world stage. Whether strategic, diplomatic or economic, British objectives have intrinsically been linked to a quest for influence in this region since the eve of independence.
