3. The association aims at supporting cooperation between the OCTs and other partners in the areas of cooperation set out in Parts Two and Three of this Decision. In that respect, the objective of the association is to promote the cooperation between the OCTs and the outermost regions, referred to in Article 349 TFEU, their neighbouring African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) and non-ACP States. In order to achieve that objective, the Union shall improve coordination and synergies between cooperation programmes supported by different EU financial instruments. The Union shall also endeavour to associate OCTs in its instances of dialogue with their neighbouring countries, whether they are ACP or non-ACP States, and with the outermost regions, where appropriate.
