ASEAN-Australia relations began in 1974 and the country became ASEAN's very first Dialogue Partner. The ASEAN-Australia Economic Cooperation Program (AAECP) was launched and has since then supported ASEAN projects in science and technology, population, education and training, social development, cultural exchange, institutional linkages and commercial facilitation.
An ASEAN-Australia Commemorative Summit was convened in November
2004 in Vientiane to commemorate the 30th anniversary of ASEAN-Australia dialogue
relations.
The
Agreement Establishing the ASEAN-Australia-New Zealand Free Trade Area
(AANZFTA) was signed in Thailand, on 27 February 2009. AANZFTA
is the largest Free Trade Agreement that Australia has ever signed.
