EU-Philippines trade deal raises hopes of wider Asean pact
Original: After EU-Philippines trade breakthrough, is Asean-wide deal next?
The European Union and the Philippines have reached a trade breakthrough, reviving long-running negotiations that had stalled since 2017. The agreement with Manila is prompting speculation that Brussels could now pursue a broader trade deal covering the whole Asean bloc, a goal the EU has floated for years as it seeks to diversify economic ties in Asia.
Why now: Fresh progress on an EU-Philippines agreement has renewed debate about whether a region-wide EU-Asean trade deal is now within reach.
