Asia-Europe Foundation

The Asia-Europe Foundation (ASEF) seeks to promote better mutual understanding between the peoples of Asia and Europe through greater intellectual, cultural and people-to-people exchanges between the two regions.

ASEF was established in February 1997 by the members of the Asia-Europe Meeting (ASEM). Fulfilling the vital role of interface between civil society groups and governments, ASEF facilitates interactions among non-officials from diverse fields and transmits the resulting outputs as recommendations to policy-makers. ASEF also brings civil society representatives together with bureaucrats, diplomats and other government officials for direct and open dialogue.

Through ASEF, civil society concerns can be included as a vital component of official deliberations at ASEM.

ASEF's activities are ranging over conventions, symposiums, seminars, public lectures, youth camps, art competitions, performances, exhibitions, and other promotions in the three areas mentioned above.
