The 29th Asia-Pacific Regional Space Agency Forum (APRSAF) meeting reconfirmed the forum’s vital role in regional space initiatives that can further help global coordination in space activities. This report presents such perspective from an intra-region participant’s point of view. It highlights key discussions from the 2023 plenary session, emphasizing the Space Policy and Law Working Group’s contributions. The importance of the APRSAF’s National Space Legislation Initiative (NSLI) in harmonizing space laws and the involvement of young scholars in policy shaping are underscored. The report obeserves the opportunities and challenges in regional space cooperation in the Asia-Pacific region.
