The EU has a huge interest in the success of ASEAN and we are committed to supporting regional integration in Southeast Asia through community building, connectivity, and ASEAN centrality. We already have a strong relationship based on our mutual economic and commercial interest. Europe is the largest investor in ASEAN economies, accounting for a quarter of the total Foreign Direct Investment stock. It is not by chance that the EU is ASEAN’s second largest trading partner today, while ASEAN ranks third amongst the EU’s trading partners outside Europe. But we do much more than trading with each other.
