JAKARTA (The Jakarta Post/ANN): Asia, the cradle of some of the oldest civilisations, has again been gaining a pivotal role on the world scene. As it is home to the youngest populations and the most dynamic economies in the world, the centre of gravity of the global economy has shifted toward Asia.
We have a long history of relations and deep-rooted ties with Asian countries. We are proud of our Asian roots and our role as a gateway to two major continents, Asia and Europe. Today, we aim to reenergise our cooperation with Asia through our Asia Anew Initiative, launched in 2019.
