Spanish term or phrase: entendidos en la política entre ambos países
en medio de las asimetrías, subyacen valores entendidos en la política entre ambos países que constituyen los pilares de una creciente cercanía de orden diplomático y comercial.

I'm not sure if it is policies or politics. It seems that politics between both countries would make more sense, but I'd like to get some other peoples' take on this. TIA!!!!

(which are) understood in the politics between both countries
Explanation:
It's difficult to say without the context that comes before this part, but this is my impression, especially since policies are not tended to be made "between countries", while politics are.

there are underlying political values in common


Explanation:
I think the emphasis should be on the values in the relationship. To me it sounds odd to say the "politics" between both countries

(underlying shared values) in the politics of the two countries


Explanation:
I understand it to mean that each country has its own politics, but underlying the apparent asymmetries are certain shared values--it's the values that they share, not the politics.
