The Asia-Pacific remains a region of security concern even as it becomes the pre-eminent growth area in the world. Civil and military authorities have a shared interest in the management of security concerns and for building durable peace in the region. It is imperative that they dedicate themselves to dialogue and consultation in order to build mutual confidence and avoid or resolve conflict amicably. At the inter-governmental level, the ASEAN Regional Forum (ARF) and ASEAN Defence Ministers Meeting Plus (ADMM plus) are experimental mechanisms for confidence building and conflict resolution. At a lower military-to-military level, the Asia-Pacific Programme for Senior Military Officers (APPSMO) organised by the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies (RSIS) and its component Institute of Defence and Strategic Studies (IDSS), provides an informal forum for military officers from the Asia-Pacific and beyond to interact on a pan-regional scale.
