New ZIF-Cooperations to strengthen the ASEAN region

The Center for International Peace Operations (ZIF) has officially expanded and strengthened its collaboration with the Parliamentary Center of Asia (PCAsia) and the ASEAN Institute for Peace and Reconciliation by signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). The aim of these partnerships is to jointly foster knowledge exchange and peer-to-peer dialogue as well as capacity development to effectively promote peace-oriented approaches in the region.

"We look forward to future collaboration, the continued development of formats for peacebuilding, and further dialogue with our partners in the ASEAN region," explained Sebastian Dworack, Head of ZIF’s Policy, Partnerships, and Innovation team.

Two inaugural events were held to mark these new partnerships, which we have already reported on.
