ASEM 4 confirmed commitment of ASEM partners to strengthen and broaden the scope of its three pillar structure. Notably, the concept of a "Dialogue on Cultures and Civilizations" was utilized to focus discussions on the international security situation (especially in combating the root causes of terrorism), regional developments, globalization and human resources development. Held in Copenhagen, Denmark, on 22nd-24th September 2002, the Summit was attended by the Heads of State and Government of the 25 countries participating in the ASEM process, and President Romano Prodi of the European Commission. The conclusions of the meeting were summarised in a Chairman's Statement, in the Declaration on Cooperation against International Terrorism, in the Cooperation Programme on Fighting International Terrorism, and in the Political Declaration for Peace on the Korean Peninsula.
