On behalf of the Asia-Europe Foundation (ASEF), I would like to express my heartiest congratulations to all our partners and participatory experts from across Asia and Europe who have been recognised as among the Top Global Think Tanks by the 2011 Global Go To Think Tanks Rankings and associated trends report.
I am extremely delighted that our partners and participating experts were nominated among the 202 top think tanks in the world from the total list of 5,329 nominations received by the Think Tanks and Civil Societies Programme by the University of Pennsylvania.
It is always a pleasure to work and partner you in various projects that help us to strengthen the ties between Asia-Europe Meeting (ASEM) countries. I look forward to your support towards future ASEF initiatives.
Once again, our warmest congratulations and best wishes for your continued success.
With best regards,
Amb. Michel Filhol
Executive Director
