The European Union and its main member states, France, Great Britain and Germany, recognize the strategic importance of the Asia-Pacific. They see the region as a rising economic powerhouse with political and strategic implications for regional and global stability.

Recommendations for extending as well as deepening the interregional security cooperation are frequently heard.
