    About the Lecture Series

    This lecture series features distinguished alumni of the Asia Pacific Programme for Senior Military Officers (APPSMO).  Inaugurated in 1999, APPSMO is the annual flagship event of the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies.  In August each year, the event convenes 60 to 70 senior Singaporean and international military officers for an intensive week-long programme to network as well as to discuss geo-political and security developments and issues.  To mark the 20th anniversary of APPSMO, RSIS has launched this APPSMO Alumni Distinguished Speakers Lecture Series, which will run over the next six months leading up to APPSMO 2019 in August.  The lecture series will feature distinguished alumni of APPSMO who will share their views on topics of current interest with fellow alumni and members of Singapore’s national security agencies.  RSIS is privileged to have Trade and Industry Minister Chan Chun Sing, an APPSMO alumnus, as the speaker for the inaugural APPSMO Alumni Distinguished Lecture.
