Speaking at the event, Deputy Head of Mission of the EU Delegation in Vietnam, Axelle Nicaise said "The EU has long recognized the potential of promoting people-to-people connectivity. Asi@Connect is an excellent example of regional integration, with the R&E communities of 23 Asia-Pacific countries inter-connected by powerful high-capacity, high quality Internet links. Asi@Connect is a vehicle for promoting a peaceful, secure, open and cooperative ICT environment between Asia and Europe, and benefit society as a whole".
Asi@Connect is the successor project to TEIN4, the most recent phase of the TEIN initiative. It currently supports 24 countries/economies by providing a regional high-capacity internet backbone for R&E collaboration within the Asia-Pacific region and, its interconnection with the pan-European GÉANT network, and with other parts of the world.
Asi@Connect is the continuation of a strong partnership between the European Commission’s Directorate-General for International Cooperation and Development and the Korea-based regional networking organisation TEIN*CC./.
