- 同 국제세미나에서는 지난 1998년 제2차 런던 ASEM정상회의에서 한국의 제의로 채택된 아시아-유럽비젼그룹(Asia-Europe Vision Group, 의장 사공일)이 지난 1년여의 활동 끝에 1999년 3월 베를린 ASEM외무장관회의에 제출한 최종보고서의 주요 정책권고안에 대해 우선순위, 실행방안, 재원마련 등 권고안의 이행에 필요한 고려사항 및 권고안이 함축하고 있는 ASEM의 장기발전에 대한 기여도에 대한 논의가 주된 의제였음.

□ 비젼그룹 보고서는 21세기 아시아와 유럽의 공동번영 및 평화를 위한 정치, 안보, 경제, 환경, 교육, 문화 등 분야별 협력방향을 제시하는 9개 주요 정책 권고와 21개 여타 정책권고를 채택하고 있음.
