CSCAP is a non-governmental (second track) process for dialogue on security issues in the Asia Pacific

Welcome to CSCAP

The Council for Security Cooperation in the Asia Pacific (CSCAP) provides an informal mechanism for scholars, officials and others in their private capacities to discuss political and security issues and challenges facing the region. It also provides policy recommendations to various inter-governmental bodies, convenes regional and international meetings and establishes linkages with institutions and organisations in other parts of the world to exchange information, insights and experiences in the area of regional political-security cooperation.

CSCAP activities are guided by a Steering Committee, which meets twice a year.  The organisation is co-chaired by a representative from an ASEAN Member Committee and a representative from a non-ASEAN Member Committee. The current Co-Chairs are Datuk Prof Dr Mohad Faiz Abdullah (CSCAP Malaysia) and Dr Liu Qing (CSCAP China).
