With the support of New Zealand's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (MFAT) @NZinASEAN through the Strengthening Institutional Capacity of ASEAN in Disaster Management Phase II (SICAP II) Project, the AHA Centre convened two key hybrid events in Da Nang, Viet Nam.
The 2nd SICAP II Project Steering Committee (PSC) Meeting on 21 September 2026 provided a platform to review project progress, strategic guidance from the ACDM Working Group on Global Leadership (WG on GL), and discuss the next steps for delivering key project milestones. This was followed by the Regional Training Needs Assessment (TNA) Validation Workshop on 23 September 2026, which brought together ACDM WG on GL Co-Chairs and members to validate findings across the areas of People, Processes, Places, and Policies, ensuring the assessment reflects the current and future capacity development needs of ASEAN Member States.
The outcomes of both events will contribute to the finalisation of the Regional TNA and support the implementation of the ASEAN Capacity Building Roadmap 2025–2030, further strengthening regional disaster management capabilities and advancing ASEAN’s vision of becoming a global leader in disaster management.
🎾 Great to co-sponsor the ASEAN Padel Tournament and join friends from across @ASEAN and the wider region for a day of rallies, laughs, and a little friendly competition. 🇳🇿🤝🌏
Because diplomacy isn’t always about sitting around the table, sometimes it’s about stepping onto the court, having a bit of fun, and building connections along the way and, occasionally, a well-placed smash. 😉
Here’s to stronger friendships, deeper partnerships, and keeping the rallies going on and off the court! 🎾✨

🇳🇿🤝🌏 New Zealand was pleased to join the ASEAN Study Centres’ National Symposium 2026, hosted by Indonesia, contributing as a panellist to discussions on how ASEAN Dialogue Partners can support ASEAN Study Centres across the region.
Our Deputy Head of Mission, Mr Ben Collins, highlighted New Zealand’s commitment to supporting ASEAN-led priorities, including through the ASEAN-New Zealand Vision Fund. The Fund supports eligible organisations across ASEAN Member States and New Zealand to deliver initiatives that contribute to regional development, while ensuring our cooperation aligns with the ASEAN Community Vision 2045 and its Strategic Plans.
For New Zealand, partnership is a two-way exchange: sharing knowledge, learning from one another, building capacity and supporting ASEAN’s community-building efforts. It also creates opportunities for ASEAN Study Centres to connect and collaborate with institutions across New Zealand.
We look forward to deepening these connections and strengthening mutual understanding between New Zealand and ASEAN. 🌏

🇳🇿🤝🌏 New Zealand attended the 16th Consultation Meeting of the Initiative for ASEAN Integration (IAI) Task Force and ASEAN Partners, marking the launch of the IAI Work Plan V (2026-2030).
Congratulations to @ASEAN on this important milestone towards narrowing development gaps, strengthening ASEAN’s competitiveness, and fostering deeper integration and more inclusive development across the region.
In New Zealand, there is a Maori proverb or whakataukī: “Nāu te rourou, nāku te rourou, ka ora ai te iwi” — with your food basket and my food basket, the people will thrive. A reminder of the power of partnership, shared responsibility and combining our strengths.
New Zealand remains committed to supporting the IAI and its important role in building a more integrated and inclusive ASEAN. 🌏

From diplomacy to decarbonisation – our visiting young ASEAN diplomats and trade officials saw firsthand how renewable energy helps power New Zealand.
