Organised by the Asia-Europe Foundation (ASEF), the 1st ASEF Young Leaders Summit (ASEFYLS1) is one of the official side events of the 12th ASEM Foreign Ministers’ Meeting (ASEM FMM12).

ASEFSYLS is for young thinkers and doers to question and explore how the entrepreneurial vein can trigger and nourish job-creation, mobility and social cohesion in Asia & Europe.

Emerged from the request by young citizens and ASEM Head of States and Governments for a closer interaction and exchange of perspectives on pressing societal issues in both regions, ASEFYLS is also an experiential space where fresh minds and influential leaders from both regions meet. Constructive dialogue, hands-on skills development and a Call for Action addressed to the ASEM Foreign Ministers are the core elements of the programme.
