Asian Vision Institute

In May and June 2024, AVI actively promoted international cooperation through various initiatives. The institute organized key events, including the "ASEAN and Australia after the First 50 Years" roundtable and the "Cambodia-China Think Tanks and Public Diplomacy Forum." Simultaneously, AVI strengthened its research networks by signing a Memorandum of Understanding with the Information, Research and Analysis Group (IRAG) and partnering with the Research and Information System for Developing Countries (RIS). To contribute to regional discourse, AVI published insights on critical topics such as the global liberal order, the Funan Techo Canal Project, Cambodia's AI future with a focus on ethical and inclusive development, and strategies for fostering Cambodia-Brunei relations to achieve shared growth. Furthermore, the institute participated in the "ASEAN-China Future Relations Forum," aiming to enhance regional partnerships. These diverse activities collectively demonstrate AVI's commitment to fostering dialogue, collaboration, and knowledge-sharing across Asia and beyond.
