🎙🇷🇺Press release on the briefing of Ambassador of the Russian Federation to ASEAN H.E. Mr. Evgeny Zagaynov on ASEAN-Russia Cooperation (17 May 2023, Jakarta)
Key talking points:
🔹For Russia, fostering relations with #ASEAN is a strategic goal. It is reflected in the new Concept of the Foreign Policy of the Russian Federation. Our country fully supports ASEAN centrality in the region. It is the backbone of the system of peace and security in the Asia-Pacific.
🔹Values of ASEAN have traditionally included its unity and independence. This is what makes the ASEAN model attractive. We hope that ASEAN countries will be able to maintain that stance amidst current turbulence.
🔹Indonesia 🇮🇩 was at the origins of ASEAN and was one of the major driving forces of its development for more than 5 decades. To be in Indonesia during its Chairmanship in ASEAN is like being in “the epicentrum of the epicentrum”. Indonesia’s political and economic weight, its vast diplomatic experience coupled with the well-known hospitality largely contribute to its highly dynamic Chairmanship.
🔹This year marks the 5th Anniversary of the Strategic Partnership between ASEAN and Russia which covers a wide range of areas. At the 19th ASEAN-Russia Senior Officials’ Meeting (#ARSOM) held in Siem Reap in April both sides approached in the most constructive way their multifaceted interaction.
🤝Together with ASEAN we develop security, economic, energy and high-tech cooperation, people-to-people contacts, youth interaction, tourism and cultural ties, etc. A few examples:
Security. ASEAN and Russia have several unique mechanism in this area. Later this month Russia will host the 3rd ASEAN-Russia Consultations of the High Representatives for Security Issues. Since 2021 we annually hold Dialogue on ICT Security-related issues.
Science and Technology. The ASEAN-Russia Year of Scientific and Technical Cooperation 2022 embraced more than 50 initiatives in a wide range of areas such as nuclear energy, medicine, digital transformation, biotechnology. The 1st ASEAN-Russia Ministerial Meeting on Science, Technology and Innovation in February marked the successful completion of the Year.
Professional trainings. In 2022 almost 200 law-enforcement experts from all ASEAN countries took part in specialized trainings on counter-terrorism and anti-drug trafficking. More than 70 epidemiologists from ASEAN Member States participated in seminars and trainings organized by the relevant Russian agency – Rospotrebnadzor.
Education. This year the MGIMO University in Moscow launched its brand-new Master Program: “Political Economy of the ASEAN-Russia Strategic Partnership”. The University covers both the cost of the course itself and the transportation.
Youth. Russia is keen to develop contacts with the youth of ASEAN countries. Five ASEAN-Russia youth summits were organized so far.
Energy. This August Russia will organize the International Education Program for ASEAN Specialists in energy “Changing energy landscape: The New Energy Routes or Energy Landscape towards Net Zero” at the St. Petersburg State Economic University.
🔹Our ties are not limited to intergovernmental relations. Russian private sector shows growing interest to Southeast Asia. Russia-ASEAN Business Council is very active in promoting B2B contacts with their counterparts from ASEAN Member States.
