V Asii udržuje EHSV vztahy s organizacemi občanské společnosti v Číně, Japonsku, Singapuru, Jižní Koreji a ve Vietnamu.

V roce 2007 byl v návaznosti na 9. vrcholnou schůzku EU-Čína vytvořen oficiální kulatý stůl občanské společnosti EU-Čína, jenž se koná jednou ročně.

V únoru 2009 byl zřízen monitorovací výbor EU–Japonsko, jehož úkolem je monitorovat aspekty týkající se občanské společnosti ve vztazích mezi EU a Japonskem a podporovat spolupráci mezi EHSV a organizacemi podnikatelů, pracovníků, spotřebitelů, environmentálními organizacemi a dalšími důležitými organizacemi občanské společnosti v Japonsku. V rámci dohody mezi EU a Japonskem o hospodářském partnerství byla zřízena interní poradní skupina EU–Japonsko. V kapitole této dohody věnované obchodu a udržitelnému rozvoji se občanské společnosti přiznává monitorovací a poradní úloha.

EU uzavřela dohody o volném obchodu s těmito asijskými zeměmi: Jižní Koreou (2011), Japonskem (2019), Singapurem (2019) a Vietnamem (2020). Pro tyto dohody je charakteristické, že obsahují kapitoly o obchodu a udržitelném rozvoji a přiznávají EHSV a dalším organizacím občanské společnosti spolu s organizacemi občanské společnosti partnerských zemí formální úlohu, jež spočívá ve sledování provádění dohod a poskytování poradenství příslušným politickým orgánům v oblasti ekologických, sociálních a pracovních norem a v souvislosti s dalšími záležitostmi, které mají pro občanskou společnost bezprostřední význam. Tato činnost se provádí prostřednictvím interních poradních skupin. Každý rok se konají dvě až tři schůze interních poradních skupin EU a společná schůze pak jednou ročně.

EHSV navíc příležitostně spolupracuje s občanskou společností i v dalších asijských zemích a podílí se na relevantních mezinárodních akcích.

  • Jonathan Peel during the plenary session

    The EESC expresses its disappointment for the absence of a clear EU strategy on the EU-Asia connectivity

    The European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) has adopted at its March plenary session an opinion on the Joint Communication "Connecting Europe and Asia – Building blocks for an EU Strategy", issued by the European Commission and the EU High Representative in September 2018. The EESC considers it to be a seriously missed opportunity, with many significant strategic gaps, little ambition and no real depth of vision offered as to the development of EU's relationship and connectivity with Asia.

    On 28 May, nevertheless, after this EU DAG meeting and following the postponement of the joint EU-Vietnam meetings due to the fact that the Vietnam DAG had not been established yet, the members of the EU DAG issued a statement on the late cancellation of the first Trade and Sustainable Development Committee and the first Joint forum between European and Vietnamese civil society, which had been planned to take place in the first week of June 2021.
