In this momentous year, the ASEAN- Korea Centre (AKC), the Korean Institute of Southeast Asian Studies (KISEAS), the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Korea and JoongAng Ilbo, organised the International Conference on ASEAN- Korea Partnership under the theme Partnering for Tomorrow, covering the three pillars of cooperation: political-security, economic, and socio- cultural. The Conference gathered policymakers and scholars from both ASEAN and Korea, to review the last 50 years of ASEAN’s progress and the evolution of regional cooperation, and to discuss the prospects of enhancing cooperation between ASEAN and Korea. This book is a compilation of the research presented at this Conference and the discussions that followed. It hopes to provide insight to its readers on the development of ASEAN over the last five decades, how ASEAN-Korea relations prospered since their beginning in 1989, and the direction this partnership should take in the next decades to come. The common understanding among all policymakers and scholars was the significance of ASEAN-Korea relations to both ASEAN and Korea, as well as to the East Asian region as a whole. In the uncertain and unpredictable era we live in today, with major power rivalries, growing protectionism and anti-globalisation sentiments, it is important that ASEAN and Korea do not seek immediate profits, but work toward sustainable relations that will last for centuries. ASEAN and Korea are 13 partners that want and need each other for regional peace, stability and prosperity. ASEAN and Korea relations have developed by leaps and bounds during the past decades. The security, stability and prosperity of ASEAN and the Korean peninsula are closely interconnected, and the two regions are substantially interdependent. However, for a sustainable partnership between ASEAN and Korea, it is important to build a strong foundation of socio-cultural cooperation.
