EUAP-Macau to present EU policy towards Asia Pacific

The European Union Academic Programme in Macau (EUAP-M) will be holding an academic workshop titled “The European Union in the Asia Pacific: Interests, roles and policies,” with aims to provide information on the European Union’s perspective, elaborating on EU’s policy concerning Asia Pacific. The workshop will be held on this Friday and Saturday at University of Macau’s Ho Yin Conference Hall.
According to EUAP-M’s press release, the discussion will bring together scholars from both Asia Pacific and Europe, including experts from Belgium, Italy, the Czech Republic and Spain amongst others.
Scholars will hold discussions on EU’s roles, interests and policies on various issue areas for countries in the region.
“Given the rapid development of the Asia pacific over the past decades, the world is witnessing a dramatic shift of power redistribution,” said the statement.
The institution believes that rapid development has a significant impact on the relationship between Europe and the Asia Pacific, thus the European Union has redefined its strategies towards the Asia Pacific remarkably since the mid-1990s.
Established in 2012, the EUAP-M is a partnership between the University of Macau and the Institute of European Studies of Macau (IEEM) and is co-financed by the European Union.
