ABOUT APSI FORUM

APSI Forum and Center of Excellence (COE) is a leading New Zealand think tank in strategic partnership and cooperation in International Relations. APSI Forum is a non-partisan, non-profit organisation. The assets and income of the organisation are applied solely to further the objectives of APSI Forum. As a non-profit organisation, the forum relies on its sponsors for our events and crowdsourcing. APSI Forum does not accept funding from any source that seeks to interfere with or influence APSI Forum policies.

The 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 Forum and COE publishes white papers and special reports through which it aims to inform, empower, and highlight key policy areas that require effective decision-making. 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.

All speakers and delegates of the summit are self-funded or fully funded by their institutions.The members receive only genuine compensation for services rendered or expenses incurred on behalf of the APSI Forum.
