The Economist has hired Aaron Connelly to be its senior Asia correspondent and Asia diplomatic editor.
He will start in August and be based in Singapore.
Connelly is currently a senior fellow for Southeast Asia politics and foreign policy at the International Institute for Strategic Studies. He played a key part in the organization of the Shangri-La Dialogue and setting the Institute’s research agenda on Southeast Asia.
