Abstract

The ASEAN–EU strategic partnership needs robust cultural engagement to overcome historical barriers. Both regions can enhance mutual understanding by developing a targeted framework for professional exchanges, digital collaboration and arts initiatives. This approach could create pathways for deeper cooperation, bridging diplomatic divides through meaningful cultural dialogue and people-to-people connections.
