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 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. |
OUR MISSION
APSI Forum supports transformative leadership that promotes cooperation in innovative security models, concepts, frameworks, and technologies in the Asia-Pacific region.
APSI Forum encourages the formation of international expert networks through discussion on topics of security, innovation, and security-related civil science.
APSI Forum facilitates cooperation of issues of common interests, including human and social aspects of security.
GET INVOLVED
Summits
APSI has created a world-class forum to bring together global leaders to collaborate and identify effective approaches to security challenges.
The summits are an effort to reach out to world leaders and other key stakeholders in the security sector, to learn purposely from each other and to produce a declaration for those in government and decision making positions. Keep checking back for information on the next Summit.
Research Center of Excellence
Through its Research Center of Excellence (COE), APSI invites scholars and reputable researchers to collaborate in producing articles and Op-Eds.
To initiate this collaboration and to direct its focus, Preparatory Action Research in Strategic Studies (PARSS) has been prepared by its Patron.

TESTIMONIALS
"The APSI is a timely and dynamic platform for the advancement of defense and security diplomacy. It uniquely brings together stakeholders from the diplomatic, military and other critical security sectors. APSI is an initiative which contributes to world peace and stability - very much needed in these increasingly uncertain times"
Ambassador Dr Jesus Domingo
"I thought the choice of subject about innovation and security in the region was entirely topical and relevant given the intensifying geopolitical competition between the great powers in the Pacific. I found the open and informal format of the forum easy to work with especially as a relative new comer to Wellington.”
SAMOAN HIGH COMMISSIONER TO NEW ZEALAND
“This was an extremely valuable event, with great conversations, and a tremendous opportunity to build global connectivity, foster important relationships, and share experiences in an effort to combat nontraditional, asymmetric security threats around the Indo-Pacific region. It was an honor to be a guest speaker. Well done APSI!”
"Fantastic stuff - all around. APSI is the only think tank with a "Center of Excellence," that is making a difference in the lives of many.I am extremely thankful that I am on our Team. You all are incredible human beings who make me better - I am blessed to call you my teammates and friends."
SGM Anthony Spadaro
"You planned and executed a significant Summit addressing current issues in the Asia Pacific region and it was a privilege to be part of it. Thanks too for the excellent support team you had working in the background - they did a great job. Final thanks for the personal contributions you made in speaking in your area of expertise and study. It was eye-opening. It was the friendliest Conference/Summit I think I have attended and much of it was your personal relationship with many of the speakers and the tone that was set early on. A really huge effort but well worth it."

Very rich side-talks. Mix of representatives of nations, military, civil world and business, companies, to be sustained. Very comfortable location. Great support. Well done!! See you hopefully next year!"
"You put on an important and internationally significant summit. I was honoured to speak and share my Cyber Experience. As New Zealand matures in its understanding of Security you are going to need a bigger venue."
