    Hi,

    You cannot change the location of the Azure resource group. However, you can move the resources to a new resource group in different region. If you are looking for moving the resources to a new region, the following article can be referred

    @Kim Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Forum, Thank you for posting query here!

    It is not possible to change the location of an existing Azure Resource Group directly. However, you can move the resources to a new resource group in a different region. Here's how you can do it:

    1. Create a new resource group in the desired Asian region.
    2. Move resources from the old resource group to the new one. You can use the Azure portal, Azure PowerShell, or Azure CLI to move resources. [1][2]
    3. Review dependencies and configurations, as some resources may have settings or dependencies that are region-specific.

    It's important to note that moving resources to a new region can have implications on the resources' configurations and dependencies. You should review the Azure documentation on moving resources and check for any region-specific settings that might need to be updated.

    For detailed steps and considerations, you can refer to the Microsoft Learn articles on managing Azure resource groups with the Azure CLI [1] and creating empty resource groups [2]. Additionally, you can find guidance on moving resources to another region with Azure Resource Mover [3].
