Congratulatory Note by Ambassador Toru MORIKAWA, Executive Director, Asia-Europe Foundation (ASEF)

 

“We are confident that STEAR will continue to provide a valuable platform for the exchange of diverse views. Striving for multilateral cooperation and global prosperity, ASEF assures STEAR that we stand united to strengthen mutual understanding between the two regions and to make a real difference in growing the regional partnership through Europe-Asia exchanges.”


 

Letter from the Presidents

 

“STEAR aims to be the first youth think tank to give voice to a diverse and talented group of young people determined to better understand Europe-Asia Relations, and the output of this journal epitomises this goal. Over the course of 11 articles, our writers from countries ranging from the United Kingdom to the Philippines reflect in this journal on their similarities and differences, debating issues as broad as cultural cooperation to environmental policies.”

 

​

Editors' Note

 

“STEAR was founded in early 2021 under extraordinary circumstances, as the COVID-19 pandemic continued to impact students and young professionals worldwide. It has been an extraordinary yet valuable experience to connect to our peers remotely, and we are very proud to present the inaugural issue of the Journal of Asia and Europe Relations!”
