INDIA-ASEAN RELATIONS#

 ASEAN is nothing but The Association of south east Asian nations.


  • ASEAN is a political and economic union of 10 member states in Southeast Asia.
  • It brings together ten Southeast Asian states – Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam – into one organization.
  • It was established on 8th August 1967 in Bangkok, Thailand .

  • Look-East Policy in 1992 gave an upthrust to India -ASEAN relation and helped India in capitalizing its historical, cultural and civilizational linkages with the region.
  • India entered into a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) in goods with the region in 2003 which has facilitated the bilateral trade.
  • So, you can say it is a strong trading partner of India. Free trade agreement is nothing but trade without Tariffs, Quotas, duties and Taxes.
  • SIGNIFICANCE OF ASEAN FOR INDIA :
  1. Improves connectivity and infrastructure of north east states, this will lead to progress and development of this region.
  2. A security for China's aggressive policies.
  3. Improves maritime engagement, which leads to reduction in crimes and illegal activities( piracy, trafficking ) in the Indo-pacific region.  
  4. Improves economy of the country.
  5. The regions of ASEAN countries  also connect to India historically and culturally ( Hinduism and Buddhism got spread to south east Asia) .
That's for the day ,
