Europe is becoming more active in the Indo-Pacific region, aiming to become more involved in a wide range of fields that influence regional stability, including security and trade. This increased activity comes amid China's maritime expansion.
Greater European participation in the region is certain to enhance the "Free and Open Indo-Pacific" concept led by Japan and the U.S. and supported by, among others, Australia and India. We hope that governments upholding the concept will work closely with Europe to achieve stability in the region.
