Regional associations

Regional associations are groups or organizations formed by countries or regions that collaborate on common interests, issues, or goals. These associations work together to tackle challenges like trade, security, and environmental concerns, promoting cooperation and development. Examples include the European Union (EU), which enhances political and economic integration among European countries, and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), which fosters regional stability and economic growth in Southeast Asia. By pooling resources and knowledge, regional associations aim to improve the quality of life for their member states through shared strategies and support.
