About our Track II Programme
The Foundation's Track II diplomacy programme supports informal diplomacy with think-tanks in Asia on topical issues and challenges facing the region.
Our 'informal diplomacy' dialogues mostly have an international relations focus – with agendas touching on political, security, economy and trade. Some dialogues may have specific themes relating to other areas of shared interest – such as environment, climate change, energy or social issues, for example.
Participants in our dialogues include academics, former diplomats, commentators and journalists. Government officials sometimes take part as observers.
As part of our effort to encourage students to Think Asia in their postgraduate studies, we include NextGen youth observers on our delegations.
