ASEM: EU-Asia Economic Diplomacy in Uncertain Times

July 27 2017
Venue: ECIPE Office, Avenue des Arts 40, 6th floor, 1040 Brussels
Speakers: Dr Heungchong Kim, Shada Islam
Time: 09:30

Following years of global recession, the world might be entering an era of de-globalisation and unravelling of past liberalisation. How can Europe and Asia revitalise their cooperation in these times?

As we look for leadership and configurations of global economic governance against protectionism, the often overlooked Asia-Europe Meeting (ASEM) will celebrate its 20th anniversary in 2017.

The ASEM Economic Ministers’ Meeting (EMM) will resume after twelve years of hiatus, gathering Asian and European leaders at a summit in Seoul in September. Trade and investment liberalisation, connectivity and achieving sustainable and inclusive economic growth are on the agenda.

Can Asia and Europe exercise joint leadership for global economic governance? Can ASEM play a role for our economies, and become a substantive supplement to the APEC process?
