Cancellation of ministerials

Luxembourg, 14/06/2004 (Agence Europe) - The "Foreign Affairs" Council has decided to cancel the two ministerial meetings of the "Asem dialogue", which was expected to be held in a few months. An agreement between the EU and the Asian countries on the participation of Burma on inter-regional dialogue, enlargement of the Asem to new Member States of the EU was not ratified. A decision on expanding the dialogue is expected to be adopted during the Asem Summit in October in Hanoi, pointed out Brian Cowen, regretting in the meantime that there was no question that the EU would take part in a meeting if it were not with the whole 25.
