The Network of ASEANChina Think-Tanks (NACT) was proposed by Chinese Premier Li Keqiang in 2013 to contribute scholarly work to the diamond decade of ChinaASEAN strategic partnership and to build a ChinaASEAN community of shared future. It was officially launched in 2014. So far, a three-level working mechanism (including Country Coordinators Meeting, Working Group Meeting and Annual Seminar) has been built, and a regional network of Think-Tanks has been formed. As a regular and institutionalized platform for Think-Tanks cooperation, NACT serves to promote joint studies on ASEANChina relations, strengthen people-to-people ties and become a significant supplement to Track I diplomacy.
Country coordinating institutions for NACT include:
Brunei Darussalam Institute of Policy and Strategic Studies (BDIPSS), Brunei Darussalam
