Abstract

In article Kopylov O. studies the convincing evolution of ASEAN into a solid political and economic force in the Asia Pacific has filled the agenda of the Russia-ASEAN dialogue partnership with a new strategic substance. This fact urges both sides to accelerate in-depth mutual cooperation, especially in the area of trade and investment. Evidently, the Russia-ASEAN economic ties now fall well short of the opportunities provided by the growing national economies. This disparity is even more striking if we take a look on the successful development of our political dialogue. Both ASEAN and Russia acknowledge the problem and are eager to eliminate the obstacles to trade and investment cooperation. Mutual efforts are required to change the situation fundamentally, with results to follow in the forthcoming years.
