EU’S Engagement with the Indo-Pacific: Trade and Technology Council with India and Digital Partnership Agreements with Japan, Republic of Korea and Singapore
Open accessAbstract
This chapter explores the European Union’s strategic engagement with the Indo-Pacific on digital policy, highlighting its efforts to build partnerships with key regional players like Japan, South Korea, Singapore and India. Recognising the Indo-Pacific’s centrality in global technology and security, the EU has fostered Digital Partnership Agreements (DPAs) and the EU-India Trade and Technology Council (TTC) to enhance cooperation on digital trade, data security and technology standards. This chapter investigates these frameworks’ governance structures and key deliverables, including initiatives in Artificial Intelligence, data privacy and undersea cable resilience. It also examines the EU’s ambition to “multilateralise” digital diplomacy through alliances in the G7, ASEAN and other regional frameworks. Addressing emerging challenges like economic security, digital trade and critical infrastructure, the EU seeks to shape a secure, democratic, digital landscape in the Indo-Pacific, aligning its engagement with boarder goals of sustainable development and strategic autonomy.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
