This Comprehensive Plan of Action (CPA) is aimed at implementing mutually beneficial cooperation for the period 2021-2025 between the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and the Russian Federation as set forth in the Joint Statement of the 3rd ASEAN-Russian Federation Summit on Strategic Partnership in 2018 which marked the elevation of the ASEAN-Russia relations to a Strategic Partnership as well as Chairman’s Statement of the ASEAN Post Ministerial Conference (PMC) 10+1 Session with the Dialogue Partners in Bangkok in 2019. For the next five years (2021- 2025), this CPA will guide endeavours by ASEAN and Russia in realising mutually beneficial objectives and benefits of their Strategic Partnership, building upon their relations that started in 1991.

This CPA sets out priorities and measures to be undertaken by both sides to realise the full potential of the ASEAN-Russia partnership in all areas of common interest, taking into account the ASEAN Community Vision 2025: Forging Ahead Together and its Blueprints; as well as the results of the implementation of the Comprehensive Plan of Action to Promote Cooperation between ASEAN and Russia (2016-2020) and other related ASEAN-Russia cooperation documents.
