Abstract
Multilateralism deals with cooperation and coordination between countries with the aim of achieving common goals. Multilateralism, especially in the East Asian region, plays an important role in facilitating cooperation and coordination between countries to face challenges and take advantage of common opportunities. This policy helps by forming institutions and mechanisms such as unions and regional institutions, promoting trade and investment, cultural and educational exchanges, and resolving regional and international conflicts. The present article answers the key question; what effect has the process of multilateralism in East Asia had on the policy of looking towards the East of Iran? In response to this question and using the analytical descriptive method, to examine the different approaches and strategies of East Asian countries in creating multilateral institutions such as ASEAN plus three, China-ASEAN Free Trade Area, Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank and the Belt and Road Initiative. which has led to the strengthening of the policy of looking towards the east of Iran, has been discussed. Participation in East Asian multilateralism brings economic opportunities for Iran, access to new resources and markets, strengthening of technology, strengthening of political relations and diplomacy, and interaction with regional actors. These reasons can encourage Iran to play a role in the framework of East Asian multilateralism and develop its relations with the countries of the region. These proposals may include strengthening economic exchanges, establishing political and security cooperation mechanisms, facilitating cultural and educational exchanges, and promoting public diplomacy between the respective countries.

Abstract Persian

چندجانبه گرایی به همکاری و هماهنگی بین کشورها با هدف دستیابی به اهداف مشترک می‌پردازد. چندجانبه گرایی به خصوص در منطقه شرق آسیا نقش مهمی در تسهیل همکاری و هماهنگی بین کشورها برای مواجهه با چالش‌ها و بهره‌برداری از فرصت‌های مشترک دارند. این سیاست با تشکیل نهادها و مکانیسم‌هایی مانند اتحادیه‌ها و نهادهای منطقه‌ای، ترویج تجارت و سرمایه‌گذاری، تبادلات فرهنگی و آموزشی، و حل و فصل منازعات منطقه‌ای و بین‌المللی کمک می‌کنند. مقاله حاضر به این پرسش کلیدی پاسخ می دهد که روند چندجانبه گرایی در شرق آسیا چه تأثیری بر سیاست نگاه به شرق ایران گذاشته است؟ در پاسخ به این سوال و با استفاده از روش توصیفی تحلیلی، به بررسی رویکردها و استراتژی‌های مختلف کشورهای آسیای شرقی در ایجاد نهاد های چندجانبه از قبیل آسه‌آن به علاوه سه، منطقه آزاد تجاری چین- آسه‌آن، بانک سرمایه‌گذاری زیرساختی آسیایی و ابتکار یک پهنه و یک راه که منجر به تقویت سیاست نگاه به شرق ایران شده است، پرداخته شده است. شرکت در چندجانبه گرایی شرق آسیا برای ایران فرصت‌های اقتصادی، دستیابی به منابع و بازارهای جدید، تقویت فناوری، تقویت روابط سیاسی و دیپلماسی و تعامل با نقش‌آفرینان منطقه‌ای را به همراه دارد. این دلایل می‌توانند ایران را ترغیب کند تا در چارچوب چندجانبه گرایی شرق آسیا نقش بگیرد و روابط خود را با کشورهای منطقه توسعه دهد. این پیشنهادها ممکن است شامل تقویت تبادلات اقتصادی، ایجاد مکانیسم‌های همکاری سیاسی و امنیتی، تسهیل تبادلات فرهنگی و آموزشی و ترویج دیپلماسی عمومی بین کشورهای مربوطه باشد.
