Suu Kyi delivered a speech at the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Business and Investment Summit at the Solaire Resort and Casino in Parañaque City. "It is sometimes said that the one unambiguous and non-trivial fact in economic development literature is the strong statistically significant correlation between the empowerment of women and economic growth," Suu Kyi said.

"Pixar has definitely been very active and just trying to support the diversity that we have now. I'm feeling like hopefully having a woman as a lead will encourage other women to come through the ranks, knowing that there's a woman in the room with them who could be supportive too," she said.
