The year 2004 marks the 30th anniversary of Australia's dialogue partnership
with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). Formed in 1967,
ASEAN is the primary regional institution in South-East Asia and a respected
participant in global affairs. Australia became an ASEAN dialogue partner
in 1974 - the first country ASEAN agreed to meet on a regular basis to discuss
political, economic and functional cooperation.

ASEAN and Australia celebrating 30 years was published to commemorate
this anniversary, to serve as a reminder of Australia's long-standing links
with South-East Asia and of its strong bilateral ties with the member countries
of ASEAN.
