• Southeast Asia trusts the EU more, but Brussels still has work to do

Contesto

Southeast Asia is increasingly turning to the European Union as a reliable hedge amid the escalating rivalry between the United States and China. This growing perception positions Brussels as a stabilizing force in a region caught between major power competition. Analysts emphasize, however, that this reservoir of goodwill has not yet translated into concrete strategic influence for the EU. The current sentiment represents a significant opportunity, but one that remains largely untapped without further action. For the EU to capitalize on this trust, a more robust and consistent political engagement with Southeast Asian nations is deemed essential. Diplomatic presence and high-level dialogue must be strengthened to move beyond economic ties. Ultimately, Brussels faces the task of transforming its perceived role as a neutral hedge into a more active and influential strategic partnership. The groundwork of trust is laid, but converting it into tangible outcomes requires deliberate and enhanced political investment.
