12 July 2010

As Asian and European officials meet this week in Brussels to prepare for October’s ASEM Summit, this EPC commentary by Shada Islam says the meeting offers an important opportunity to inject much-needed new life into the Asia-Europe relationship, and rekindle the excitement of the first ASEM summit.
