Abstract: Cooperation between the EU and ASEAN has gone through ups and downs in the last 30 years since informal dialogue first took place in 1972. The dialogue started with initial focus on narrow issues on trade and market access, but ties between the two regions have broadened to include political dialogue and functional cooperation. Despite more than 30 years of dialogue and cooperation, ASEAN—EU ties continued to be low key, fraught with challenges and some say even “benign neglect”. Yet there is also a growing understanding that there are opportunities to nurture and grow this partnership which will be in the long-term interests of both regions.
