The Asia-Europe Meeting (ASEM) is a unique, informal platform for dialogue and cooperation between Asia and Europe on the big challenges of a fast-changing world, such as connectivity, but also broad security challenges such as counter-terrorism, migration, maritime security and cyber issues. Bringing together 53 partners from across Europe and Asia, ASEM Partners represent around 60% of global population, 65% of global economy, 55% of global trade and 75% of global tourism. ASEM’s main purpose is to provide a platform to foster political dialogue, strengthen economic cooperation and tackle global challenges together. In many respects, recent developments in the international landscape have increased the value of ASEM as a key building block for an open, cooperative and rules-based international system.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    \u201cBuilding on the conclusions of ASEM1 in Bangkok and ASEM2 in London, the following principles should guide future enlargement of the ASEM participation:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • the ASEM process, which is open and evolutionary, is intended to reinforce the Asia-Europe partnership,<\/li>\n
    • enlargement should be conducted in progressive stages,<\/li>\n
    • each candidature should be examined on the basis of its own merits and in the light of its potential contribution to the ASEM process,<\/li>\n
    • the two-key approach: a final decision on new participants will be made by consensus among all partners only after a candidate has first got the support of its partners within its region,<\/li>\n
    • any decision regarding the admission of new participants will be taken by the Heads of State and Government on a consensus basis.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
