AsiaCentre

Founded in 2005, Asia Centre is an independent research institute that holds debates and issues publications on matters relating to international, strategic, economic relations, as well as the political and social transformations underway in the Asia-Pacific region. At the crossroads of university research as well as public and private decision-making, Asia Centre researchers identify critical regional issues and analyse them in-depth, taking into consideration both local and global dimensions. Asia Centre’s programs are developed with a vast network of partners, companies and major specialist centres in Europe, North America and Asia. The Centre carries out joint operations with these groups, for a better interpretation of ideas and issues. The conclusions of these meetings, such as the results of the work carried out using original sources by our researchers, are widely distributed through the Centre’s publications as well as through international journals, books and media.

Combating nuclear proliferation has become one of the underlying reasons for Western engagement with China, particularly for Europe which has been to the fore in seeking diplomatic solutions to the Iranian crisis. These overtures have not been ignored. Supporters of multilateralism have seized on Beijing’s endorsement of limited sanctions against Iran and North Korea as a sign that China now backs the international system where it counts.
