概要：

ASEAN was established in 1967 with the purpose of managing and ensuring peace and stability in the Southeast Asia region. Through dialogues and cooperation in various areas ASEAN has succeeded in building trusts and confidence among its member states.

?

However, ASEAN is also cognizance that peace, stability and prosperity of its members relies not only on the relationship among themselves but also influenced by the situation in the wider region surrounding Southeast Asia as well as the geostrategic interests of other major powers. It is within this vein that ASEAN deliberated on an ASEAN Indo-Pacific outlook which was adopted by ASEAN at its Summit in Bangkok in 2019.

?

The formulation of an Indo-Pacific concept or strategy, focusing on the Indian and Pacific Oceans is of paramount strategic importance for ASEAN for many reasons and the main thrust of an Indopacific strategy from ASEAN perspective is the strengthening of existing regional cooperation mechanisms in the Indopacific region, based on existing ASEAN led mechanisms.
