From 2021, joint endeavors with KAICIID have included strengthening the role of interreligious and intercultural dialogue in peace and reconciliation efforts, with particular focus on research, advancing knowledge, supporting networks and platforms, and capacity building of ASEAN’s officials in using dialogue as a tool for peaceful coexistence. 

ASEAN’s Institute for Peace and Reconciliation is the region’s think tank and research institution addressing issues of peace, conflict management, conflict resolution, post-conflict peacebuilding and reconciliation. 

In 2024, the partnership was formalised with a signing of an MoU.
