Alliances, Partners, and Architecture Workshop
This 4-day workshop will bring together senior officials from the United States, its treaty allies, key partners and regional organizations.
Primed by a pre-workshop survey, participants will share their perspectives and assessments of the major tensions and security challenges in the Indo-Pacific region particularly in the light of evolving 21st century geopolitical developments and national strategic interests. Discussions will explore innovative mechanisms and potential paths forward for the United States, allies, partners and regional organizations to collectively address these concerns, adapting to the changing security landscape while affirming a rules-based international order.
Drawing on key insights and recommendations from these discussions, DKI APCSS will draft an informal workshop aide-memoire to summarize key points of consensus among participants, innovative ideas that are worthy of further discussion, and specific priorities for follow-up actions.
The scope and depth of the topics discussed leaves the engagement open to the possibility of a series of follow-on events that will allow more opportunities to address the issues in full measure.
