Tasks. This study analyzes the general trend in the development of foreign trade between Russia and the ASEAN countries from 2008 to 2016. It also determines the impact of anti-Russian sanctions on trade development and identifies main areas for cooperation with the ASEAN countries.
Results. The problems and challenges in the relationship between Russia and the ASEAN are identified. It is established that the main areas for the development of cooperation with the ASEAN countries include the oil and gas industry, civil and military aviation, shipping logistics, truck assembly, innovations, etc. The resources required for the transition to a new level of cooperation between the countries are examined with due consideration of common interests. The results of the Third Russia–ASEAN Summit, which was held in May 2016 in Sochi, are assessed.
