The Asia-Europe Foundation (ASEF) is an intergovernmental, not-for-profit organisation which brings together the people of Asia and Europe to address common global challenges. Founded in 1997, it is the only permanent institution of the Asia-Europe Meeting (ASEM) political dialogue Process and is publicly funded by voluntary contributions from 53 ASEM Partners.
On 1-2 July 2021, our 53 board members from all over Asia and Europe convened online due to current travel restrictions for our 42st ASEF Board of Governors’ Meeting (ASEFBoG42). This was preceded by the Executive Committee (ExCo) and Finance and Audit Committee (FAC) Meetings on 29 and 30 June 2021 respectively.
The main agenda of the BoG Meeting was to approve ASEF’s projects for 2022.
We thank our ASEF Governors for their continued cooperation!
