The ‘ASEAN Corner’ established by Institute of Strategic Studies Islamabad (ISSI) will be inaugurated on Monday during a formal ceremony by the Foreign Minister and ASEAN Envoys.
Roundtable Discussion, titled: “Forging Partnerships: Exploring the Future Prospects of Pakistan-ASEAN Relations” will be followed by the inauguration. The event is being organized by ISSI’s China Pakistan Study Centre (CPSC).
The establishment of ‘ASEAN Corner’ at ISSI is based on the conviction that a deeper understanding of ASEAN and its role, place and relevance in the region and the world is of crucial importance.
The initiative, agreed between ISSI and ASEAN Committee in Islamabad (ACI) during their structured interaction in January 2023, is part of the efforts to forge a closer partnership between Pakistan and ASEAN.
ASEAN and Pakistan share a long-standing and growing relationship, built on the pillars of economic cooperation and regional stability. Pakistan’s strategic location as a bridge between South Asia and the Middle East complements ASEAN’s focus on trade and connectivity across diverse regions.
