The Indo-Pacific region is home to the two most populous countries today. A cradle of ancient civilisations, it has experienced prosperity, as well as wars, and foreign occupation periods. The imprint of Western colonisation is deeply ingrained. However, after the Second World War and decolonisation, the regional states embarked on a journey to establish cooperation networks and reliable partnerships based on shared principles. Eleni Chytopoulou observes that since 1967, ASEAN has stood as a beacon of multilateral cooperation and a testament to the strength and resilience of Southeast Asian countries in their efforts to bolster trade and economic development. – Reproduced
