The meeting centered on the theme “Joining Hands to Advance the Modernization of Governance Capacity,” where participants engaged in in-depth discussions aimed at enhancing governance practices. A key outcome was the establishment of the ASEAN-China Network of Academies on Governance and Public Administration and Think Tanks (ASEAN-China NAGPAT), which seeks to promote cooperation in governance, leadership, and public policy. This initiative aims to strengthen decision-making through joint research and consultation services while fostering people-to-people exchanges and cultural understanding.
By sharing best practices and experiences, the network aspires to contribute to the modernization of governance capacities in both ASEAN countries and China, ultimately building a closer community with a shared future.
