The organization is tasked with carrying out one of the additional functions within the House, namely diplomacy.

As a second track diplomacy, BKSAP works in a more flexible manner but still follows the guidelines issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. This way, BKSAP can form collaborations with parliaments from other countries, a practice that is different with other diplomatic bodies. (VIP Magazine Vol 10)
