PUBLIC DIPLOMACY IN ASIA 2021

In partnership with the Singapore International Foundation

Public diplomacy is an essential part of international relations given the interconnected world we live in. Non-state actors such as individual citizens, businesses, academia and civil society—recognizing their growing influence and enabled by technology—are rapidly transcending borders to interact, collaborate, shape opinion and develop solutions for a better world. Despite its crucial role, little attention has been paid to the practice of public diplomacy in Asia.

CPD is pleased to partner with the Singapore International Foundation as academic partner to an upcoming virtual conference July 26–30 that will shine the spotlight on how public diplomacy policy and practice has evolved in Asia. Public diplomacy practitioners, scholars and other representatives from the private, public and people sectors will convene to discuss new strategies for global engagement.

Attendees will receive first access to Winning Hearts and Minds: Public Diplomacy in ASEAN, the Singapore International Foundation’s compilation on public diplomacy practices by ASEAN member states; participate in discussions covering different forms of public diplomacy, such as cultural, development, digital, health and business diplomacy; and have close-up engagement with public diplomacy practitioners and experts from Asia through live Q&As and networking sessions.

This five-day program will host panels and lectures as well as a virtual exhibition and networking space. Check back for updates on agenda, speakers and networking opportunities.
