It was great to be a part of the inaugural edition of the #IndoPacific Security Dialogues and no better topic to kick them off than the Quad - hopefully we’ll see a leaders’ meeting in the margins of this month’s UNGA. 🇦🇺🇺🇸🇯🇵🇮🇳 Thanks to the team at US-India Strategic Partnership Forum for organising.
Ahead of tomorrow’s 🇦🇺-🇯🇵 2+2 foreign & defence ministers’ meeting, Alex Bristow 史德礼 & I write that it should be seen as an opportunity to call out China’s aggressive behaviour, specifically the provocative military incursions into Japanese territory. ⤵️ aspistrategist.org.au/wong-and-marle…
‘They should use the opportunity to call out China’s aggressive behaviour… laying down a marker that such breaches of international rules will be met by a collective response’, write Justin Bassi & Alex Bristow 史德礼 ahead of the 🇦🇺-🇯🇵 2 + 2. Read ⤵️ aspistrategist.org.au/wong-and-marle…
🗓️ EVENT REMINDER 🗓️ Next week join Bec Shrimpton as she sits down with The Asia Group & CSIS's Abraham M. Denmark for a fireside chat on 🌏 security dynamics & evolving architecture, & the strategic stability role of AUKUS in the region. 📝 Don't miss out ➡️ bit.ly/3AN9yJR
Published research on ASPI Strategist finds Australia’s big battery projects may be tied to Uyghur forced labor. Stricter due diligence is needed to protect human rights in the push for clean energy, write Tilla Hoja, david wroe & Justin Bassi aspistrategist.org.au/australias-cli…
New research with Tilla Hoja & david wroe: big battery projects in 🇦🇺 are likely using materials sourced through forced Uyghur labour in 🇨🇳. Despite what is publicly known, 🇦🇺 governments & companies in almost all states are engaging suppliers linked to human rights abuses. ⤵️
The current leaders of the Quad will hold one last meeting in Wilmington, Delaware, Biden's home city, on Sept. 21 sources told Nikkei. A highly symbolic Quad meeting in Sunnylands, California, would have to wait until next year. asia.nikkei.com/Politics/Inter… via Nikkei Asia
Excellent detail from Ken Moriyasu on the likely Quad leaders’ meeting ahead of this month’s UNGA - the last for Biden & Kishida. As I told a US-India Strategic Partnership Forum webinar this week with Ken, whenever the four leaders - or foreign & defence ministers - are together, the Quad should meet.
Well done Justin Bassi and your exceptional team. #Thesydneydialogue put voices from the Asia and Pacific regions at the heart of the discussion of how technology is shaping our politics, security and prosperity. The future is being made today by how we design and use technology
This morning we welcomed Norway’s Defence Minister Bjørn Arild Gram for an engaging roundtable discussion exploring the 🇳🇴-🇦🇺 relationship. ASPI analysts shared insights on hybrid threats in 🌏 & 🇦🇺's Defence Strategic Review, & findings from the ASPI Cyber, Tech & Security Critical Tech Tracker.
ICYMI: "I can see AI models doing a lot more of that than we are right now comfortable envisioning, but I think that may only become clear with aggressive experimentation, which is what we need to be doing". Thoroughly enjoyed speaking to Shashank Joshi on AI, intel & tech. Listen 🎧⤵️
