ABOUT APSI FORUM
| APSI Forum is a non-partisan, leading New Zealand think tank in strategic partnership and cooperation in International Relations. APSI Forum was established in April 2019 to provide a platform for public officers, including ambassadors, political leaders, and military leaders, to interact and make crucial security decisions to address current and future challenges. Its aim is to strengthen strategic partnerships and alliances and ensure effective international relations, which is crucial for a collective approach to address global problems. APSI has managed to create a world-class forum to bring together leaders from various parts of the world to collaborate and identify effective approaches to security challenges. The forum holds summits as part of its efforts to reach out to world leaders and other key stakeholders in the security sector purposefully to influence their views and policy development process. APSI Forum has been funded by Asia-Pacific Global Foundation Ltd. APSI was also supported financially by Tourism NZ, SWIFT, NATO PDD, and Creative NZ. APSI Forum does not accept funding from any source that seeks to interfere with or influence APSI Forum policies. To fund its activities, APSI Forum also relies on the registration fees. The assets and income of the forum are applied solely to further the objectives of APSI Forum. APSI Forum currently has members from 36 countries: Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam, Singapore, Timor Leste, Pakistan, India, Nigeria, Sri Lanka, the US, France, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Norway, Poland, Portugal, the UK, Israel, New Zealand, Australia, Fiji, Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, Cambodia, Samoa, Georgia, Lithuania, Ukraine, the Netherlands, Canada, Malaysia, the Kingdom of Tonga, and Papua New Guinea.
