---------------------------

2022 marks 45 years of partnership between the EU and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). Elevated to a strategic partnership in 2020 and cemented with the EU Strategy for Cooperation in the Indo-Pacific in 2021, the EU has bolstered relations over the last four decades with strong economic, trade, and political ties. As 2022 brings about the conflict to the EU’s borders, leaders have stood firm with their continued relations with the association reiterating their strategic partnership.

As tensions with authoritarian powers such as Russia and China amplify, how can the EU and ASEAN partnership remain strong moving forward? What are the areas that the two regions can strengthen given the ongoing geopolitical tug of war?
