The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) is an important group of countries that strengthened their trade and political relations with Peru. Thus, the similarity between the natural resources and the level of development of certain members has allowed the links with the national territory to intensify. Therefore, the solidity of the pacts, the agreements proposed, and the presence of Peru in the different international organizations enables multilateral relations with the members of the ASEAN. Despite the fact that the political and diplomatic relations with these countries range between the years 1960 – 1970, the preeminence of such region with Peru is increasing. In view of this scene, this study seeks to revise the state of the economic and political connections with those countries, as well as to provide conclusions and recommendations in order to reinforce the established relations. For that purpose, a global approach of the ASEAN countries will be provided; subsequently, the bilateral relation with each one of them will be analyzed; and, finally, the political and diplomatic relations, trade, and investment will be observed.
