“Today, on the ASEAN Day, let me address the situation in Asia and the Pacific, which is a vivid example on how global currents influence local soil.
For Russia one of the key integral elements of regional layout is Strategic Partnership with ASEAN, announced in Singapore during the 4th Russia-ASEAN summit in 2018. The year of 2023 is remarkable as far as we celebrate the 5th Anniversary of this event, though the overall history of our relationship with the Association goes back to 30 years more.”

🗓 Every year on August 8, the ten member countries of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) mark ASEAN Day. This date was approved by the ASEAN Standing Committee at its annual meeting in May 2005.
🌏 ASEAN was founded in Bangkok on August 8, 1967, by Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, and the Philippines, which signed the so-called Bangkok Declaration. Later, this regional organisation was joined by Brunei (1984), Vietnam (1995), Laos and Myanmar (1997), and Cambodia (1999).
ASEAN is one of the most successful regional organisations. It has a broad network of various intergovernmental associations involving Russia and other leading world powers: the East Asia Summit (#EAS), ASEAN Regional Forum (#ARF), and ASEAN Defence Ministers Meeting-Plus (#ADMMPlus).
☝️ Promoting ties with ASEAN is Russia’s key foreign policy priority in Asia. The Russian Permanent Mission to ASEAN has been based in Jakarta since 2017. In 2018, Russia-ASEAN relations reached the level of strategic partnership, resulting in closer coordination on current global and regional issues with the ten member countries at leading multilateral venues, including the UN.
🤝 On July 12-14, 2023, Sergey Lavrov attended foreign ministers’ meetings in Jakarta, held in the Russia-ASEAN, EAS, and ARF formats.
💬 President Vladimir Putin at the Russia-ASEAN Summit (October 28, 2021): "Strengthening ties with ASEAN and its member states has always been and remains one of Russia's foreign policy priorities. <...> I would like to point out that the positions of Russia and the ASEAN states on key global and regional matters are similar in many respects. Most importantly, we all support the expansion of equal and mutually beneficial cooperation in the vast Asia-Pacific space."
