| Summary/Abstract |
For more than 10 years before that, the idea of the Indo-Pacific as a new regional configuration in the area of the Indian and Pacific Oceans to replace the Asia-Pacific Region construct had been bounced around at various international expert forums and in government circles of some countries, primarily the United States, Japan, Australia, and India. In 2007-2008, those four countries, which are more or less openly seeking to contain the growing economic and naval might of China, tried to create a quadrilateral group. They failed to establish any steady cooperation at that time, and for about the next 10 years, each of them sought to develop its own concept for a new regional formation while regularly attempting to coordinate positions with the other three in unofficial meetings on Indo-Pacific issues.

| Summary/Abstract |
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.
