The ETUC takes part in the ASEM Trade Union Forum, which works to strengthen social dialogue and the social dimension within the ASEM (Asia-Europe Meeting) process. The participants have called for a permanent Asia-Europe Dialogue on employment and labour issues, and an institutional framework for trade union consultation.
Trade unions have condemned violations of human rights by the military regime in Burma, and opposed Burma’s membership of ASEM.
