The EU-Singapore Think Tank Dialogue on security and defence cooperation explored shared strategic interests, complementary strengths & practical pathways for collaboration.

Following a day of closed-door expert discussions, the event 'The EU & Singapore: Partnering for Resilience in the Indo-Pacific' offered a stage for new insights and discussions on how the EU and Singapore can work together to reinforce their own resilience and that of #ASEAN.

This will inspire our future cooperation, from protecting critical infrastructure and engaging with the rise of new technologies, to sustainable connectivity and energy.

Thank you to our partners @EU_ISS and @RSIS_NTU as well as the experts from @IFRI_, @CSDS_Brussels & @BoellStiftung

Human rights apply equally online and offline:

The 2025 EU Human Rights Day Seminar in 🇸🇬 focused on the impact of new technologies on human rights.

Opening with remarks from 🇪🇺 Commissioner Michael McGrath & Ambassador Artis Bertulis, discussions focused on tracking risks and biases in AI, and bridging the digital divides.

Our thanks to our keynote speakers from @UNICEF & @UNDP, to our expert panellists, and to our guests.

We are surrounded by wars, power politics and coercion. All this requires Europe and SE Asia to stick together.
