It is said that we live in the Age of Asia – the global economy is increasingly dependent on Asian markets and political attention is swinging to the Asian-Pacific region. The latter is especially true with respects to business and trade. With the potential for a TPP or RCEP (regional agreement centred around ASEAN), a new regional architecture is emerging
While Europe’s transatlantic engagement is deepening, the next step in EU’s endeavours towards the Asian-Pacific region raises some important questions. What role do the Asian countries expect the EU to play in the region’s future? How should Europe prepare for the new era?
ECIPE is honoured to have three Ambassadors of some of Europe’s most important economic and strategic partners in the region presenting their views on the future of EU-Asia Pacific relationship.
Speakers:
H.E. Dr Brendan Nelson, Ambassador of Australia
H.E. Arif Havas Oegroseno, Ambassador of Indonesia
H.E. Kojiro Shiojiri, Ambassador of Japan
Introduced by Hosuk Lee-Makiyama, Director of ECIPE
