China–ASEAN relations developed quickly from an absence of diplomatic ties in the immediate post-Cold War period to close interaction and cooperation in the late 1990s. Japan–ASEAN political relations, however, lacked the impetus for advancement during the same period. Japan had, as early as 1977, established dialogue partner relations with ASEAN, and began the process of institutionalizing its dialogue and cooperation with ASEAN at various levels in the areas of industry, science, technology, culture, trade, and investment. China, on the other hand, did not actively seek to establish official relations with ASEAN until the 1990s, after the Cold War. China first participated in the ASEAN Foreign Minister Meeting in 1991 and became a full dialogue partner of ASEAN in 1996. By the beginning of the 21st century, the nature of China–ASEAN relations had evolved from one based largely on bilateral relations to a multilateral relationship built on expanded areas of cooperation
