Asia-Europe Meeting (ASEM)
The Asia-Europe Meeting (ASEM) is a forum for dialogue between Europe and Asia and involves virtually the whole of Asia and Europe. The most recent ASEM Summit in Beijing in October 2008 admitted six new members, bringing the membership up to 45 partners, together representing half of the world's GDP, almost 60% of the world's population and over 60% of global trade. At the 8th ASEM Summit, taking place in Brussels on 4-5 October 2010, three more members formally joined the process - Australia, New Zealand and Russia.
