Latest news on countries in Asia – the largest continent by land area and population – including updates on trade, regional conflicts and human rights issues.

Asia was home to many of the first civilisations and as of 2023 constituted roughly 60% of the world’s population. It also has some of the largest economies such as China, Japan, South Korea, India and Turkey.
