Leaders from 45 members of the Asia Europe Meeting (ASEM) group will attend the 7th ASEM summit in Beijing on October 24 and 25.

The theme of the summit, "Vision and Action: Towards a Win-win Solution", was announced at the launch of the ASEM 7 website (www.asem7.cn) and the unveiling of the ASEM 7 logo.
