SOME ELEMENTS OF STRATEGY AND PROSPECTS OF UKRAINE’S RELATIONS WITH THE COUNTRIES OF THE EAST ASIAN REGION

Under today’s political and security conditions, the emphasis in foreign policy of Ukraine is made on Euro-Atlantic direction. However, this negatively affects the strategy of diversifying political and trade-economic ties with other regions, in particular the East Asian region (EAR), which is the world’s largest centre of economic growth. For most EAR countries, Ukraine is not a priority partner or a significant actor in the region’s economy, just as the region, with the exception of individual countries, is not a significant actor in Ukraine’s economy. In this context, analysis of preferences and perspectives of the EAR for Ukraine is presented. Some elements of a strategy of Ukraine’s relations with the region are formulated; a number of recommendations are given
