01/08/2019 (Agence Europe) – On Thursday, 1 August, High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Federica Mogherini announced the instatement of military advisors in several EU delegations in Asia. “We want to engage on security matters in Asia and with Asia even more. That is why we will also deploy military advisors in several of our European Union embassies across Asia—starting with our Mission to ASEAN in Jakarta”, she explained at the EU-ASEAN Post-Ministerial Conference in Thailand. In her opinion, “Asian security is also European security”. The EU has already co-chaired several initiatives in the context of the ASEAN Regional Forum, including meetings on the fight against terrorism and transnational crime and on maritime security. The EU also participated in a naval exercise carried out by the Asian organisation. (CG)
