Most of Asia has been in peace for the past four decades, since the Sino-Vietnamese War of 1979. However, peace is not a given and cannot be taken for granted. Many threats remain or could emerge suddenly, like the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. On 1 July, Asia Research Institute (ARI), NUS, will be launching the Asian Peace Programme (APP), to initiate and support policy research that will work towards generating an enduring peace in Asia.

The APP is the brainchild of ARI Distinguished Fellow Kishore Mahbubani who will be spearheading the initiative. ‘While Asia has been developing well in the economic realm, many threats and challenges remain in the peace and security realm.'
