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.
