Venue: ASEAN Secretariat, Nusantara Hall
Date: November 20, 2023

Time and venue: 14:00 to 16:00 WIB, ASEAN Secretariat building, Jakarta (10:00 to 12:00, Moscow)
The year 2023 marks the 5th anniversary of signing the Memorandum of Understanding between the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) on Economic Cooperation. The ongoing structural transformation of the global economy requires a higher degree of integration and interaction within the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) and ASEAN, thereby expanding the potential for cooperation between these associations on the international stage. This aspect remains at the forefront of the dialogue between the two integration associations, with the aim of creating additional incentives to deepen and diversify trade and economic cooperation, thus creating new opportunities for businesses in EAEU and ASEAN countries. The promising areas for further cooperation include the circular economy, energy efficiency, industry, food security, logistics, digital technologies, and tourism. Boosting mutual trade and strengthening ties between business communities should be considered priority areas of further dialogue between the EAEU and ASEAN.

The round table aims to discuss the following:
- Emerging Opportunities for Cooperation between the EAEU and ASEAN in the New Economic Reality
- EAEU’s and ASEAN’s Private Sector Priorities to the Facilitating Economic Integration
- Decarbonizing EAEU and ASEAN: Pathway to a Net-Zero Future
- Integrated Food Security Strategy in a Time of Growing Uncertainty
- Current Digitalization Landscape across EAEU and ASEAN
