Abstract

Asia Europe Journal (2003) 1: 3–8 ASIA EUROPE JOURNAL Springer-Verlag 2003 Pascal Lamy European Commission for Trade, Rue de la Loi 170, B-1049 Bruxelles, Belgium (e-mail: pascal.lamy@cec.eu.int) Our economies have become increasingly interlinked: There has been a steady pattern of trade development and growth between Europe and Asia over the last twenty years which we have both welcomed and encouraged. Asia taken as a whole now represents more trade than we have with North America and almost as much as the rest of Europe. Asia has therefore become one of our largest partners and is destined to become an even more important partner in future years. But of course, Asia represents more than just a trading partner for Europe. In the strategic framework for the EU’s overall relations with Asia adopted last autumn, the core objectives include the strengthening of our presence here in Asia, the further enhancement of our two-way trade and investment relations, and the development of a global partnership with our Asian partners. Our enhanced relations will find their physical expression in the opening of new EU offices in the region – including in Singapore this year.
