COM promotes Asia-Europe cooperation by raising awareness and knowledge about ASEF, ASEM and Asia-Europe relations. Aimed at a diverse range of constituencies including the media and general public, COM’s activities foster greater mutual understanding between Asia and Europe. Among the seven thematic areas of ASEF, COM is responsible for Media. Through its projects, COM creates unique networking platforms for the exchange of views and ideas, as well as cooperation among media professionals from Asia and Europe.
COM is also responsible for ASEF’s corporate communications. COM supports the Executive Director on ASEF’s messaging and outreach, and is custodian for ASEF’s brand and identity. It manages the ASEF websites and related digital assets, and coordinates project communication by ASEF Project Departments (PDs) and ASEM-related bodies.
