Regional Programme Australia and the Pacific Activities 2024

The Annual Report summarises all our activities for the past year. Dive into our exciting past programs reaching from Australia to New Zealand and to our destinations in the South Pacific.
Throughout 2024, we partnered with policymakers, political leaders, think tanks, and civil society to address key issues facing liberal democracies—ranging from security and economic inequality to environmental sustainability and human rights. Our focus on dialogue, capacity-building, and policy development has contributed to meaningful progress across the region.
Key highlights include our flagship events such as the KAS Lecture, KAS Security Conference, Counter-Terrorism Dialogue, Pacific Meet & Greet, and Parliamentary Dialogue Programmes. These, along with our ongoing collaborations, reflect our continued support for partners and democratic progress in the Indo-Pacific. We invite you to read on for more details.
We hope you find the Annual Report insightful, and we look forward to continuing our cooperation with local and regional partners in 2025.

Please keep up your interest in our work and kindly extend your friendship to our new interim director, Denis Suarsana, director of our KAS Indonesia office, who will be in charge of the office until the new director, my dear colleague Sabina Woelkner, takes over later in the year.
