Elements for an EU Strategy on connecting Europe and Asia	6

Summary

Generated

The Commission and EEAS set out a connectivity strategy linking Europe and Asia through transport, energy and digital networks, framed as a rules-based alternative to China's Belt and Road Initiative. It targets infrastructure, trade and investment stakeholders in both regions, stressing sustainability and private financing. It is a non-legislative joint communication, not a binding act.
