The Program on Asia seeks to promote U.S. leadership and engagement in the Asia-Pacific region to: promote prosperity, security and stability and to enhance U.S. cooperation with Asian states on regional issues and global challenges.

The Atlantic Council's Asia Programs are directed by Dr. Banning Garrett. The Program is currently focused on global strategic challenges for U.S. relations with Asia and U.S. cooperation with Asian states. The Atlantic Council's work in this area addresses critical factors that will shape Asia's future as well as U.S. and European relations with the region.
