BPIA Asia Working Group

Advancing Engagement, Dialogue, and Connection Across Asia

The BPIA Asia Working Group serves as BPIA’s focal point for engagement with Asia and the broader Indo-Pacific region. The Working Group creates opportunities for professional networking, policy dialogue, cultural exchange, career development, and strategic partnership-building for BPIA members and partners interested in Asian affairs.

Through programs, convenings, and collaborative initiatives, the Asia Working Group strengthens connections between BPIA and embassies, international organizations, universities, businesses, policy institutions, professional associations, and diaspora communities across the United States and abroad.

The Working Group supports BPIA’s broader global mission by expanding opportunities for professionals to deepen their understanding of the political, economic, security, diplomatic, and cultural dynamics shaping one of the world’s most consequential regions.
