It provided a dedicated platform for Asian voices to engage in dialogue and exchange perspectives on democracy. Participants delved into regional perspectives on democracy, explored opportunities, challenges, and future directions for democratic governance in Asia. The forum’s agenda was multifaceted, and aimed to facilitate discussions among Asian democracy organizations, policymakers, and advocates while also examining the broader global context.
