Australia was a key player in the first ASEAN-Australia-New Zealand Dialogue, held in Malaysia in December 2008.  The Dialogue was an informal discussion on major strategic issues in Asia and the roles ASEAN, Australia and New Zealand could play to assist resolution of these issues.

Research & Analysis

Australia-Indonesia Perceptions

This research examines Australian and Indonesian perceptions of each other’s countries with regard to security and governance.  Conducted by Roy Morgan, the research was presented at the Australian Member Committee of the Council of Security Cooperation in Asia-Pacific Annual Meeting, co-hosted by Asialink in September 2008.

Research Presentation

Australia-Asia Engagement

New research measuring Australia’s engagement with Asia demonstrates it has quadrupled since 1990 while engagement with the rest of the world has only tripled.  A notable outcome of the research was evidence that ASEAN, as a grouping of nations, was Australia’s foremost engagement partner across all seven dimensions of measurement (trade, investment, tourism, education, migration, business development and humanitarian assistance).
