Strengthening interaction: Singapore’s role in EU-Asean ties
SINGAPORE is Europe’s gateway to South-east Asia, not merely by geographical location but through deliberate, visionary strategies that position the city-state as a critical hub for international trade relations.
As the first country in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) to forge a trade deal with the European Union and, more notably, the first to be negotiating a digital trade agreement with the EU, Singapore shines as a beacon of success in EU-Asean relations.
The significance of the EU-Singapore relationship extends far beyond bilateral ties, too.
