Asia-Europe Meeting
From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.
The Asia-Europe Meeting (ASEM) was officially established in 1996 at the first summit in Bangkok. ASEM is an interregional forum which consists of seven members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and China, Japan, South Korea and the fifteen members of the European Union (EU).
The main components of the ASEM process, which has so far been loosely organized, include:-
- political dialogue
- security and the economy
- education and culture
or the so-called three pillars.
In general, the process is considered by the parties involved to be a way of deepening the relations between Asia and Europe at all levels, which is deemed necessary to achieve a more balanced political and economic world order. The process is enhanced by the biannual meetings of heads of state, alternately in Europe and Asia, and political, economic, and cultural meetings and events at all kinds of other levels.
