These agreements entered into force in 2011. [1] [2] The strategic partnership between India and the EU used to have a similar level, but it is expected to be expanded in the coming years. At a summit on 15 July 2020, Heads of State and Government adopted the “EU-India Strategic Partnership: A Roadmap to 2025”. As noted in previous sections, the strategic partnerships that the EU has developed in its relations with four Asian countries are the result of the EU`s continued political efforts to strengthen its profile and relations with fast-growing and strategic Asian countries. Although it is practiced on the basis of the same logic of functional action (Pan and Michalsky in this special issue), the EU`s approaches to the various Asian strategic partners show some differences, in addition to the expected similarities. The differences observed in the implementation of the strategic partnership by the EU can be seen as the result of a number of country-specific factors, including (i) the duration of the partnership, ii) the breadth and depth of common values and (iii) the growth potential of the country concerned as a regional and global power. Korea`s Ministry of Science and ICT said the EU and South Korea share four strategic areas; The budget allocated to these four areas is as follows: ICT (€12 million), nanotechnologies (€54 million), health/bio (€4 million) and energy (€3 million).
