It focuses on the research of education, culture, and agricultural economy in ASEAN countries, as well as international politics.

It is also responsible for drafting important documents like 'The Medium and Long-term Development Plan for the China-ASEAN Education Exchange Week”.
The Institute focuses on scientific research, program design, and serving 'China-ASEAN Education Cooperation Week'. By giving priority to cross-national study and regional cooperation study, the Institute will further expand its research horizon and carry out academic exchanges and cooperation at home and abroad so as to create its distinctive features.
