Ushakov: Russia's Pivot to Asia Has Been Long-Standing
Kremlin advisor Yuri Ushakov stated that Russia's strategic shift towards Asia is not a new development. He also characterized the Russia-ASEAN summit in Kazan as substantive and productive.
Kremlin advisor Yuri Ushakov said that Russia's pivot towards Asia did not just begin, but is a long-standing strategic line.
Responding to a question on whether Russia has made a renewed turn in this direction, Ushakov answered, "Everything has been shifting in this direction for a long time."
Ushakov also assessed the Russia-ASEAN summit held in Kazan in positive terms. He stated that the discussions at the summit were interesting, useful, and substantive.
Ushakov noted that contacts between Russia and ASEAN countries also proceeded positively in bilateral meetings, which he characterized as beneficial.
The Russia-ASEAN summit, dedicated to its 35th anniversary, is being held in Kazan from June 17-19. The summit is being attended by Russian President Vladimir Putin and representatives from all ASEAN member countries.
ASEAN was founded in 1967 and consists of 11 countries: Brunei, East Timor, Vietnam, Indonesia, Cambodia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Singapore, Thailand, and the Philippines.
Ushakov's statement highlighted the message that Asia has long been central to Russia's foreign policy and economic orientation. The summit also made visible once again the importance Moscow places on relations with ASEAN.
