The importance of India’s current relationship with ASEAN and its future potential for

mutually beneficial growth will require greater political, economic, and diplomatic engagement

with ASEAN. ASEAN’s geostrategic importance stems from many factors, including the

strategic location of member countries, the large shares of global trade that pass through

regional waters. Indo ASEAN economic engagement should not be viewed from a purely

merchandise trade perspective, but from the future potential of trade in services and investment

flows. Trade is not a negative sum game it brings with it benefits of lower input prices, greater

competition and virtuous cycle of rising productivity and growth.
