Blue Economy Forum

Completed

In light of significant milestones achieved in the advancement of the ASEAN Blue Economy Framework, we are pleased to announce a special seminar dedicated to exploring and advancing the goals set forth in this transformative initiative. 

The ASEAN region has made notable strides in fostering sustainable, resilient, and value-driven initiatives within the blue economy domain. ASEAN Leaders adopted the ASEAN Leaders Declaration on the Blue Economy at the 38th and 39th ASEAN Summit in 2021, followed by the adoption of the ASEAN Blue Economy Framework at the 43rd ASEAN Summit. Furthermore, partnerships between South Korea and ASEAN through the Korea-ASEAN Solidarity Initiative (KASI) and with France in the Practical Cooperation Areas signify a collective commitment towards enhancing the blue economy's prominence. 

This special seminar aims to delve into the intricacies of the ASEAN Blue Economy Framework and foster comprehensive discussions on the future trajectory. By convening policymakers, academia, and practitioners from South Korea, France, and ASEAN, the event intends to elucidate key strategies, identify challenges, and explore collaborative opportunities to further fortify the blue economy's role in the region.
