Patrick Köllner served as co-director of the 2025 Otago Foreign Policy School at the University of Otago, the GIGA's institutional cooperation partner in New Zealand. The conference focussed on small state agency in the Indo-Pacific, presenting new analytical perspectives and case studies from various world regions.

The European Union and Germany are implementing strategies for cooperation in the Indo-Pacific. How does South Korea fit into the picture? In this GIGA Focus Asia, we share findings from a collaborative, policy-oriented research project examining the potential scope for closer cooperation here.
