Asia 2000’s Seriously Asia project aimed to identify priority goals and practical actions to energise New Zealand’s links with Asia.
An interim report summarising the goals, actions and outcomes from the Seriously Asia Forum was released in December 2003, a copy of which is contained in Appendix One.
This final report provides an overview of the project, reports discussion at the Seriously Asia Forum, and looks at ways in which Seriously Asia outcomes are being implemented.
The first section of the report documents the 2003 Seriously Asia project. The second section covers its content, with a particular focus on the November Forum in Wellington. The final section addresses the implementation of project outcomes.
