Track II Dialogues
Track II dialogues between New Zealand and individual countries or groups of countries are organised by the Asia New Zealand Foundation and other institutions such as the New Zealand Institute of International Affairs (NZIIA) and the Centre for Strategic Studies (CSS).
As our Track II programme grows, future dialogues will be announced here and there will be an opportunity for Track II practitioners to register and participate. Make sure that your name is on our Track II Register, which will be our primary pool of dialogue participants.
In addition, we will publish information on regular visits by overseas officials, Track II practitioners or academics throughout the year.
