Abstract
The article examines Kazakhstan's relations with ASEAN. Kazakhstan has often tried to engage with ASEAN and to become part of its dialogue mechanisms, but the lack of significant trade relations, vast geographical distance and logistical hurdles, and low mutual awareness have proven obstacles to more substantive relations. However, China's increasing influence in Kazakhstan and its Belt and Road Initiative, in which Kazakhstan plays a central role, has opened up possibilities for greater engagement and cooperation as well as ASEAN's increased interest in Kazakhstan. For Kazakhstan, ASEAN's success in regional cooperation could also be a useful model for the growing interest in regional cooperation in Central Asia.
