| Summary / Abstract (Note) | THE SECOND RUSSIA-ASEAN SUMMIT caused mixed feelings in Moscow and the capitals of the Ten. The relations are going ahead yet so far the Russian Federation and the ASEAN countries find it much more profitable to cooperate with third countries. In the most promising areas, however, the number of those wishing to go further is steadily increasing; the ranks of experts who closely follow the developments, identify new boundaries and explain why we need new partners and why they need us are swelling. Opinions clash and discussions go beyond the expert community to reach the public, TV viewers and Internet users. Relations with China (Russia's closest neighbor in the north and ASEAN's closest neighbor in the south), for example, have become an object of public interest both in Russia and in some of the ASEAN countries. |
