About APSI Forum

The Premier New Zealand
Geopolitical Forum

APSI Forum was established in April 2019 to provide a platform for those in public office, 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 strategically utilizes geopolitics and diplomacy to cultivate partnerships that shape geopolitical dynamics. Invited contributors attending APSI Summit and APSI International Parliamentary Assembly are free to use the information shared during the discussion but must not disclose the identity of the person behind any specific comment.

Our Vision

To be the trusted and credible international forum connecting partners and alliances across the Asia-Pacific.

Our Mission

Supporting transformative leadership that promotes cooperation in innovative security models, concepts, frameworks, and technologies in the Asia-Pacific region.

Patron and Chair: Prof Dr Anita Abbott
