RSO Constructive Dialogue

The Constructive Dialogue is the RSO's Annual Meeting, bringing together Bali Process Member and Observer States and Organisations at a Senior Official level for two days of dialogue and knowledge exchange across the Bali Process region.

Showcasing progress and understanding priorities

As the RSO's Annual Meeting, the Constructive Dialogue serves as a crucial event in the RSO's calendar to engage across the Bali Process membership, to share learning and showcase progress and achievements across the Bali Process membership, and to ensure that we understand and are responsive to member needs and priorities.

Objectives

The objectives of the RSO Constructive Dialogue are to:

Convene Bali Process members and Working Groups to showcase progress and promising practices against the Adelaide Strategy for Cooperation, and to identify enduring challenges and barriers at a regional level
Reflect on discussions from the previous Constructive Dialogue, and objectives from the RSO Strategic Plan and Work Plan and Bali Process Working Group Forward Work Plans, and discussions from the RSO Border Forum.
Support updates from Bali Process members and Working Groups on ongoing and indicative activity that may be undertaken against the Adelaide Strategy for Cooperation, planned at a national and regional level.

Discussions at the Third RSO Border Forum and Constructive Dialogue were framed through a routes-based lens, with senior government officials, policymakers, and international experts from across the Bali Process membership invited to consider progress made against the Adelaide Strategy for Cooperation, promising practices, and enduring challenges and barriers at a regional level that can benefit from Collective Efforts across the Bali Process membership.
