AAI was first known as AILA (Asia Intercultural Learning Association) and was formed in 1991 with 5 AFS Partners, namely: AFS Hong Kong, AFS Indonesia, AFS Japan, AFS Malaysia and AFS Thailand. In 1998 AFS Australia and New Zealand joined the group, and was renamed Asia Pacific Initiative (APN). It was named as AFS Asia Initiative (AAI) in 2000 and finally renamed as AFS Asia and the Pacific Initiative in 2005. Today, there are 10 partner organizations within AAI. With the aim to provide a regional association among AFS Partners in Asia, AAI was created to deepen mutual understanding and to discuss specific issues of the Asia Pacific region.
