Relations have grown over time and encompass today a broad spectrum of social, political, economic, trade, developmental, and security dimensions.

The EU is one of ASEAN’s longstanding dialogue partners and one of ASEAN’s main development partners, both at regional and bilateral levels.
EU regional and bilateral development assistance focuses on areas where the EU and ASEAN can work together to counter negative trends. They set their sights high on regional economic integration for reducing the development gap, on biodiversity conservation, improved border management and migration, and better and more mobile higher education. These are only few examples of joint efforts to achieve tangible results for all citizens.
