The AAF Current Asian Affairs Discussion Group brings members together for engaging conversations on timely events shaping Asia. Co-chaired by Richard Baker, Lisa Harper and Sudeep Anand, each session focuses on recent developments or ongoing issues, with topics selected to spark thoughtful dialogue. Because current events evolve quickly, the final subject may shift to ensure discussions stay fresh and relevant.

To encourage lively participation, each meeting is limited to 12 members, with a standby list available once spaces are filled. Location will be taking place a member’s residence to be announced monthly. Members are welcome to suggest topics from credible sources and will receive background materials ahead of time to help prepare. Whether you’re interested in broadening your perspective or contributing your own insights, this group provides a welcoming space for meaningful exchange.
