In these countries, the government and civil society are working together to develop and implement ambitious open government reforms. The Asia Pacific Leaders Forum, second of its kind after the OGP Asia Pacific Regional Conference, will serve as a platform for countries and communities within the region to re-connect, share and learn from each other s practices on open and good governance, strengthen the South-South and Triangular Cooperation, and push forward the 2030 Agenda for the Sustainable Development Goals. Highlights of the Conference will include Keynote Address by President Joko Widodo, remarks by high level speakers from both participating and nonparticipating OGP countries in Asia Pacific, and interactive discussions with leading open government actors and public innovators.
