Strengthening EU-U.S. Cooperation in the Asia-Pacific Region
The CSIS Europe Program and the CSIS Chair for Southeast Asia Studies are pleased to present Strengthening EU-U.S. Cooperation in the Asia-Pacific Region, the second conference of CSIS's EU-U.S. Dialog for the Asia-Pacific Region (EUDAP) initiative.
Although the United States and the European Union both have strong security and economic interests in the Asia-Pacific, they have developed independent strategies for engagement that are on occasion misaligned. This half-day conference will explore new ways that the EU and the U.S. can enhance cooperation in the region with panels addressing trade and investment and security issues.
