Kiwanis Asia-Pacific is currently composed of the eight districts and eight non-districted nations/areas of Asia and the Western Pacific. The eight districts are Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Philippine Luzon, Philippine South, New Zealand-South Pacific, Australia, and Malaysia. The eight Kiwanis nations include Bangladesh, Guam, Hong Kong (China), India, Indonesia, Pakistan, Singapore, and Sri Lanka. Composed of more than 800 clubs with more than 25,000 members, the region holds an annual conference to elect regional officers and promote Kiwanis goals and training.

The first club in Asia Pacific was organized on January 24th 1964 in Tokyo, Japan, two years after Kiwanis worldwide expansion was approved in 1962. The first international president elected from outside the two founding nations of US and Canada was Ian Perdriau, AM, a member of Kiwanis Club of Melbourne, Australia, who served in 1994-95. More recently, Dr. Juan F. Torres, Jr., from Philippine Luzon District served as international president from 2002-2003.

The first international convention in Asia took place in Taipei, Taiwan in 2001. Previously only two international conventions had been held outside of North America. Over 10,000 Kiwanians attended the conference, among which, some 6,800 were from Taiwan and the rest from around the world. Delegates endorsed strategies for 'Young Children: Priority One' including programs to combat lead poisoning and pediatric trauma in children, and even more importantly, determining that protection of children from media violence was to be a Kiwanis concern.
