About Asialink Diplomacy

The mission of Asialink Diplomacy is to strengthen and enhance Australia’s relations with Asia. We achieve this by fostering meaningful relationships and dialogues across sectors: from all levels of government, to not-for-profits, corporations and SMEs, to academia and the next generation of leaders.

Our curated program of dialogues, forums and events brings together leading academics, commentators, business people and diplomats with their counterparts in Asia to discuss key themes impacting our region, including: geopolitics and security, multi-lateral co-operation, and the UN sustainable development goals.
