The notion of Human Security was first introduced in the United Nations Development Programme's 1994 Human Development Report. The UNDP report argued that the scope of global security should be expanded to include threats in seven areas: economic security, food security, health security, environmental security, personal security, community security and political security. This panel discussion is an opportunity to examine what has been achieved through co-operation between Asia and Europe over the past decade and to look ahead at some of the challenges that we still face.

This year marks the 5th anniversary of ASEFUAN. The organization is facing a two-pronged challenge. On the one hand, it is challenged to continue to play its role in complementing and promoting Asia-Europe relations at the people-to-people level, while on the other hand, the sustainability of ASEFUAN, with the current modality of the organization is being question. Should ASEFUAN become an independent identity incorporate? What are the prospects and the feasibility of incorporating?
